Sridevi & Rishi Kapoor Movies Together List — 6 Films

The shape of the work

The 1970s belonged to Kaun Sachcha Kaun Jhootha; the 1990s to Gurudev. Sridevi acted in every film; Rishi Kapoor acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Their first film together, Kaun Sachcha Kaun Jhootha (1972), was a courtroom drama where Sridevi played a child witness. She was just 9 years old. Rishi Kapoor was 20. They didn't share a single romantic scene — she was literally a kid on set.
• In Nagina (1986), Rishi Kapoor played the husband who doesn't know his wife is a shape-shifting snake. Sridevi's performance as the vengeful serpent was so intense that Rishi later admitted he actually felt scared of her during the climax scene. She set the emotional temperature; he just reacted.
• Chandni (1989) wasn't just a blockbuster — it single-handedly brought back the white chiffon sari trend in Bollywood. Sridevi wore it in every song. Rishi Kapoor's character was named Rohit. The film's success directly inspired Yash Chopra to make more romantic dramas with the same lead pair, but they never worked together again after Gurudev (1993).
• On the sets of Banjaran (1991), Rishi Kapoor would bring homemade biryani from his house for Sridevi. She was a strict vegetarian. He didn't know. She ate it anyway to not hurt his feelings. He found out years later and felt terrible.
• Rishi Kapoor once said in an interview: 'Sridevi was the only co-star who could make me forget my lines. I'd just stand there watching her dance and the director would have to yell 'cut' to bring me back.'
• In Garajna (1991), a disaster film about a dam burst, Sridevi did all her own stunts — including being swept away in actual rushing water. Rishi Kapoor refused to do the same scene without a stunt double. She teased him about it for the rest of the shoot.
