Shah Rukh and Kajol – Different Flavours of Romance

There are some pairs in the Hindi Film Industry which form a special place in the hearts and the minds of the audience. So much so that they can carry the entire film on their able shoulders and attract a considerable amount of people towards the cinema houses. Popularly known as ‘hit jodi’ such parings seldom go wrong.

One such pair is that of Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol. Theirs is one pairing which has never gone wrong on the silver screen and have given us one hit after another. Not only pure romantic but they also portray myriad flavours of romance with which one can relate to. There is an essence of friendship, camaraderie, teasing, love and even love-hate relationship between the characters that they have played so far.
