Apart from Sanjay Dutt – Madhuri Dixit, Ranbir Kapoor – Deepika Padukone, Shahid Kapoor – Kareena Kapoor Khan, Salman Khan – Katrina Kaif have also worked together post their breakup
Kalank has one of the most talked about films of 2019 and after seeing its just-released teaser we can say that everyone is excited already. The superstar cast includes Varun Dhawan, Alia Bhatt, Madhuri Dixit Nene, Sanjay Dutt, Sonakshi Sinha and Aditya Roy Kapur. The film is set to hit theatres on April 17. Other than the star cast, what is getting us most excited is seeing our favourite on-screen pairing Sanjay Dutt-Madhuri Dixit Nene back after 21 long years. While the two were allegedly dating back in the day, they haven’t worked together since they parted ways. But with Kalank, they have buried the hatchets and will be seen on the 70mm.
If this reunion of exes has gotten you nostalgic, here are some other Bollywood couples who worked together in spite of parting ways on the personal front.
Madhuri Dixit Nene and Sanjay Dutt
Bollywood stars Sanjay Dutt and Madhuri Dixit are coming together for Kalank after 21 years. Over the last few years, there has been plenty of conjecture about the Jodi teaming up for a film. It took Karan Johar, Abhishek Varman and a dramatic period film about Partition to get their nod. While Sanjay plays an intense character (Balraj Chaudhary), Madhuri reportedly plays a courtesan and his ladylove. The actors will be seen promoting the film together.
Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone
Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone were one of the most loved couples of Bollywood but after dating for around two years, they called it quits. However, the two came together for Ayan Mukerji’s Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and later for Imtiaz Ali’s Tamasha in 2015.
Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif
Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif were rumoured to share a very close friendship both on and off screen. Though they never confirmed their relationship, the whispers never stopped. Their relationship went kaput as Kat fell in love with Ranbir. Salman, who has always been supportive of Katrina, worked with her in his film Tiger Zinda Hai. Both the actors will now be seen in Bharat which will release in June this year.
Shahid Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan
The Jab We Met stars were dating for a couple of years and were quite open about their relationship status back in the day. However, they broke up and moved on. Now both of them are happily married to their respective partners. Kareena tied the knot with Saif Ali Khan whereas Shahid got married to Mira Rajput. However, the fans were waiting eagerly to see their favourite on-screen pairing again. After many years, the two featured together in Udta Punjab but sadly they didn’t have any scenes together.
