Shahrukh Khan & Karisma Kapoor Movies Together List — 3 Films

The shape of the work

The 1990s belonged to Dil To Pagal Hai; the 2010s to Zero. Shahrukh Khan acted in every film; Karisma Kapoor acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Yash Chopra cast them in Dil To Pagal Hai (1997) because he wanted a fresh pair. SRK and Karisma had never shared screen space before. Chopra bet on their awkwardness — and it worked.
• In Dil To Pagal Hai, Karisma’s character was the disciplined dancer, SRK’s the chaotic choreographer. Off-camera, she taught him the steps. He later said she made him look like he could dance.
• During Shakti - The Power (2002), SRK and Karisma would crack each other up between takes. The film was heavy — family revenge drama — but they kept the mood light. She called him her 'stress-buster' on set.
• Karisma once said: 'Shah Rukh is the only co-star who made me forget the camera. He’d whisper jokes right before a serious scene, and I’d have to bite my lip.'
• Zero (2018) was their reunion after 16 years. SRK specifically requested Karisma for the cameo. The scene — where she plays herself rejecting his dwarf character — became a meme template for 'unrequited love' on Indian Twitter.
• In Shakti - The Power, Karisma’s character was the fierce, silent protector. SRK’s was the loud, emotional husband. He later admitted she carried the film’s emotional weight — he just reacted to her.
