The Sunil Shetty & Sushmita Sen partnership
From Aaghaaz (2000) to No Problem (2010). Main Hoon Na is the one most viewers reach for. It started with Aaghaaz (2000).
The shape of the work
The 2000s belonged to Main Hoon Na; the 2010s to No Problem. Sunil Shetty acted in every film; Sushmita Sen acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.
Partnership facts
- Sushmita Sen was the one who pushed for Sunil Shetty to be cast as her love interest in Aaghaaz (2000). The director wanted a younger, leaner hero, but Sushmita insisted Sunil had the right intensity for the role.
- In Main Hoon Na (2004), Sunil Shetty played the comic villain — and Sushmita Sen was the only actress in the film who could match his deadpan timing. She improvised the line 'Mujhe kya pata, main toh sirf item hoon' on set, and Sunil broke character laughing. Farah Khan kept it in the final cut.
- During the shoot of No Problem (2010), Sunil Shetty and Sushmita Sen had a running bet: whoever flubbed a dialogue first had to buy lunch for the entire crew. Sushmita lost 8 times in a row. Sunil still jokes she funded half the unit's meals that month.
- Sushmita Sen once said in an interview: 'Sunil is the only co-star who can make me laugh so hard I forget my lines. He’s also the only one who’d call me out if I was being lazy on set.'
- Their pairing in Main Hoon Na (2004) directly inspired the 'older hero-younger heroine' trend in Bollywood comedies of the mid-2000s. Films like Mujhse Shaadi Karogi (2004) and Phir Hera Pheri (2006) tried to replicate their bickering-romance dynamic.
