The Shahrukh Khan & Anushka Sharma partnership

From Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (2008) to Zero (2018). Jab Tak Hai Jaan is the one most viewers reach for. It started with Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (2008).

The shape of the work

The 2010s account for 80% of everything they made together. The 2000s belonged to Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi; the 2010s to Jab Tak Hai Jaan. Shahrukh Khan acted in every film; Anushka Sharma acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

  • Shah Rukh Khan personally chose Anushka Sharma for 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi' after seeing her in a print ad. She was a model with zero acting experience. He didn't audition her — he just trusted his gut.
  • On the sets of 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan', Anushka would improvise her lines in Punjabi to throw Shah Rukh off. He loved it — it forced him to react in real time instead of relying on his usual charm. That rawness made their scenes crackle.
  • Anushka Sharma's production company Clean Slate Filmz was born because of Shah Rukh. He encouraged her to produce her own films after 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan'. She later launched 'NH10' and 'Phillauri' — both directly inspired by his advice to take control of her career.
  • During 'Zero', Shah Rukh and Anushka had a running joke: every morning, he'd ask her 'Aaj kaun si film dekhni hai?' (Which film do we want to watch today?) — because they both hated the script's original ending and would secretly rewrite scenes together on set.
  • Anushka once said: 'Shah Rukh is the only co-star who has seen me cry on set. Not because of the scene — because I was scared I wasn't good enough. He sat with me and said, 'You're not here by accident. You're here because I chose you.' That changed everything.'
  • In 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil', Shah Rukh deliberately underplayed his scenes opposite Anushka. He told Karan Johar he wanted her to 'own the frame' because her character had more emotional weight. He literally stepped back so she could shine — and she delivered the film's most talked-about breakdown scene.
