PIX: Salman Khan's Hottest Leading Ladies

In a career spanning more than two decades, Salman Khan has courted many leading ladies in his films.

In his latest film Ek Tha Tiger that is due to hit screens next week, Salman reunites with former girlfriend and one of the most successful actresses of her time, Katrina Kaif.

Now, we've already waxed eloquent about how awesome this scorcher is.

Let's take a look at Salman's stunning onscreen lovers over the years!

Salman Khan worked with the current numero uno of Bollywood -- Kareena Kapoor -- in his 2011 blockbuster Bodyguard.

The pair have earlier worked together in films like Main Aur Mrs Khanna and Kyun Ki, which bombed at the box office.

Housefull 2 actress Asin starred opposite Khan in another 2011 hit comedy Ready and was quite the stunner in the film's hugely popular song Dhinka chika.

The pair was earlier seen together in 2009 musical London Dreams that also starred Ajay Devgn in a pivotal role.

Salman's 2010 comedy-action blockbuster Dabangg was a dream launchpad for Shatrughan Sinha's sprightly daughter Sonakshi.

She played the village lass Rajjo who steals Chulbul Pandey's heart and eventually marries him.

Actress and wannabe singer Priyanka Chopra played Goan hottie Rani who becomes the reason for rivarly between long lost friends in the 2004 comedy Mujhse Shaadi Karogi.

It's Salman's Sameer Malhotra who eventually wins her heart.

They have also worked together in the flops God Tusi Great Ho and Salaam-e-Ishq.

Another former beauty queen Lara Dutta set the screen on fire with her crackling chemistry with this Khan in Partner.

The film may have centred around Salman and his onscreen bonhomie with Govinda but Lara claimed enough screen time to remind us about her hotness.

Former Miss Universe Sushmita Sen played the dedicated assistant in Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya, who is secretly in love with her dentist boss who's besotted with a pretty model.

Love does conquer all in the end and the pair comes together in the end.

Salman made an extended appearance in the criticially acclaimed Phir Milenge as the protagonist's (played by Shilpa Shetty) former flame.

Shilpa plays a successful and bright advertising executive who discovers she has HIV and sues her firm when she's wrongfully fired.

Salman Khan's real life buddy Karisma Kapoor played his leading lady in Judwaa.

Apart from several comic scenes in the film, the pair's hit songs like Oonchi hai building are still quite popular.

They have also worked together in the flop Dulhan Hum Le Jayenge, the big hit Biwi No 1 and the funny Andaz Apna Apna.

One of the hottest actresses of her time, Sonali Bendre played the demure doctor Preeti who is Prem's (Salman Khan) childhood sweetheart in Hum Saath Saath Hai.

The chemistry was crackling and she rocked conservative salwar kameezes and lehengas.

And now the love story that still rules Bollywood lore.

Salman Khan couldn't resist the charming beauty of his Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam costar Aishwarya Rai and the pair felll in love on the sets.

Their real-life chemistry manifested on the screen beautifully.

Sooraj Barjatya's Hum Aapke Hain Koun...? made box office history with its unprecedented box office collections and a hugely successful run.

Madhuri's fiesty Nisha and Salman's boyish Prem were a big hit with the masses.

Long before she set hearts racing as the Sheher ki ladki, Raveena Tandon starred opposite Salman Khan in her debut film Patthar Ke Phool in 1991.

They created a barrel of laughs in their other film together, Andaz Apna Apna, which also starred Aamir Khan and Karisma Kapoor.

Bhagyashree, like her costar Salman Khan, became an overnight sensation when their film Maine Pyar Kiya released with much fanfare in 1989.
