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

Asin

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.

Sonakshi Sinha

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.

Priyanka Chopra

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.

Lara Dutta

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.

Sushmita Sen

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

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.

Sonali Bendre

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.

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

Raveena Tandon

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.
