We were talking about the endlessly iconic “Suhaagraat” sequence from Kabhi Kabhi yesterday and Amrita challenged me to think if there were other similar sequences before that. I couldn’t really think of any, but I could really really think of others after it!
First, the song that inspired this all. Raakhee being sad and scared and hiding it, and Shashi being kind and happy and in love.
Now, my other favorites! Well, there’s this one from Refugee! Where I am always fascinated by how Kareena’s jewelry just lifts right off. And also a nice contrast, since this time it is the woman being pushy and the man resisting.
This one from Gadar, where the woman is shy, but shy and happy, not shy and scared.
My personal favorite, this one from Saathiya. A very new and modern version.
A very classy historical version from Jodha-Akbar.
Another classy historical version from Parineeta.

This one only has a little Suhaagraat at the beginning, but they are so cute! I can’t resist them trying to figure out where the noses go.
I definitely need some Shahrukh up in here, and this is the best one.
I could go on and on, for instance I haven’t included any Aamir or Salman, but I am going to stop myself and end with the all time greatest Suhaagraat song. And let you guys pick up the slack and add what I have forgotten in the comments!
BONUS: Think of this as the “hot stove” version of a Suhaagraat song. So disturbing, so unpleasant, and yet I know there are some people out there who will want to watch it even more thanks to the warning, just like you can’t resist touching a hot stove to see how hot it is.

It’s SO SCARY!!! Not sure if it is better or worse now that Vinod Khanna is dead.

I’m hesitant, how bad Aaj Phir Tumpe is? Should I watch it or no?

It’s really just the first 30 seconds that are scarring. It’s supposed to be romantic, but it really really isn’t.

What’s missing from the Khabi Khabie video is the morning after when Shashi has makeup smeared all over his face and Raakhee doesn’t look like she misses Amitabh anymore 😉

I love that later pair of scenes with Waheeda and Amitabh in bed compared to Shashi and Raakhee. Where it becomes clear that Shashi is way more fun in bed in every way. Totally trying for sex, but also willing to go along with little private jokes and teasing and stuff. While Amitabh is all serious-serious-serious all the time.

My mom explained that as “she got busy with her new household!” I did cringe at the metaphor considering I was JUST getting into the film!
