Fun post! I am arbitrarily limiting myself to 16, that’s what is going to make this hard. Feel free to speak up in the comments with “swap [blank] for [blank]”
No repeats! Only people he has never had an onscreen romance with before, and he should now. And yes, many of these have been his co-stars, but they haven’t been his ultimate romantic partner, so I decided to allow it. Feel free to disagree.
1.Tabu
2. Vidya Balan
3. Irrfan Khan
4. Anil Kapoor
5. Parvathy
6. Anushka Shetty
7. Swara Bhaskar
8. Rekha
9. Shabana Azmi
10. Amrita Singh
11. Dimple Kapadia
12. Radhike Apte
13. Neena Gupta
14. Karisma Kapoor
15. Jackie Shroff
16. Hrithik Roshan
Who would you drop? Who would you add? Who would you give me a hard time about claiming had not already been a co-star?

I think I’ve already said at some point that I love SRK and Tabu together, would love to see them, and Vidya actually popped into my head today while I was working on my Bollywood live event project so I think that would also be a fantastic pairing. Rekha we had talked about the other day and I think that would be so unbelievable and magical to see because it would be such a different kind of love story then we’re accustomed too. Selfishly I think seeing him with Hrithik or Arjun (and Arjun? Love triangle?!?!?) would be very satisfying…

I am here for the Hrithik-Arjun-Shahrukh love triangle! Better yet, I say make Hrithik and Arjun old friends/former lovers so the love triangle goes all the way around. They both separately meet a new man that they are excited about and tell each other about him, only to discover they are both dating SRK. They agree to be adult about it, let SRK make his choice. But of course it goes wrong and they start competing with each other and forgetting their friendship.
Now, I don’t know how to end it. Either there is one couple that is clearly deeper and better than the other and the resolution is more about getting the loser in love to accept the real reasons he cared so much (trying to prove a lost youth, Shahrukh reminded him of the one who got away that he was always afraid to pursue, something). Or the resolution is the two friends realizing it was never about the third person, it was that they were still in love with each other and afraid to admit it.
Also, should Shahrukh be the exciting stranger or should he be one of the friends? And should he end up with Hrithik or Arjun or no one?

He would definitely be the exciting stranger. And I think he’s the sexy catalyst for Arjun and Hrithik to get back together. And apologies for my then/than typo. Stupid speech to text.

Done! Sad that Shahrukh is alone at the end, but I am sure he can find someone to comfort him.

I want it to be Meryl Streep, Angelina Jolie, Charlize Theron, Tilda Swinton, Ingrid Bergman (not alive anymore), Romy Schneider (also not alive anymore), and Franka Potente. I didn’t include any Indian actresses because I only know the ones who’ve already been in SRK movies as I don’t watch other ones (yet). I like old movies so I added stars of old, some of them no longer alive.

He’s already met Tilda Swinton, so there’s a chance there!

Ingrid Bergman! What an interesting thought. He can play that swoony 1950s style so that might work really well.
Not keen on Rekha, she’s a bit scary for me.
Tabu – yes!
I wish he had done a proper film with SriDevi (they did something together earlier didn’t they? but nothing significant).
And I always thought he could do something good with Emma Thompson.

I would love him with Emma Thompson! They both bring that sense of intelligence and fun to their acting.

Okay, it’s settled then. We’d better get in touch with her to let her know we approve and she’d better get on with it. How I wish we had such power!

Your top 2 are my top 2, followed by Parvathy. I have such a crush on her right now. I’d take out Anil and Jacky because they’re both too much like brothers in real life. I’d add Shefali Shah and, just for her acting, not for her real life persona or politics, Kangana.
LikeLike
YES Shefali Shah!!!! But no Kangana. Even without her real life issues, I find her style of acting just not enough…juicy? Something that makes me thing she wouldn’t make a good pair with SRK.
Also, go over to my Southern remakes post when you get a chance, you might be the only Prithvi-SRK fan out there and thus the only one to be interested.

YES! Absolutely agree about Archie. And she already co-starred with Anupam, so it’s possible.

Tabu, hands down. I’d like Vidya to get her wish, but I’m not convinced they’d work well together. I’d rather stay with the realisitc possisbilities I YEARN for him to do a mature love story.

Maybe Vidya and he as a lead pair but not a romantic one? I could see them being very interesting as work partners or something.

She’s a year older than Deepika, and 2 years older than Anushka. Of course they could all be lying about their ages, but at least it is possible.
