“Bollywood lives in chemistry!” It wouldn’t be a wrong statement to make, as the early Bollywood movies used to offer the audience, eye-pleasing romantic stories where the actors would share immense chemistry.
A decade ago, many iconic pairings and duos used to run the Hindi cinema. SRK-Kajol, Shahid-Kareena, Amitabh Bacchan-Rekha and many more.
But now Bollywood somehow fails to create such iconic couples on screen.
Even though couples like Deepika-Ranbir, Alia-Varun is being celebrated, the audience still misses the iconic era of Bollywood, where people used to go head over heals for the movies starring their favorite pair.
To make the scenario worse, now people are even upset over certain on-screen couples whom they think didn’t do well, in delivering their role as a couple, perfectly.
Let’s now take a look into such 5 on-screen Bollywood couples:
