Partnership facts

• Salman and Kareena first worked together in Kurbaan (1991) when she was just 11 years old — she played a child version of his love interest. He was 25. They didn't share a single romantic scene.
• In Bodyguard (2011), Salman insisted Kareena play the loud, chatty character because he knew her comic timing could balance his silent, brooding bodyguard. She improvised most of her phone-call dialogues on set.
• Bajrangi Bhaijaan (2015) was the only film where Salman and Kareena didn't play a romantic couple — she played a single mother. That film became the highest-grossing Indian film of the year and launched a wave of cross-border friendship stories in Bollywood.
• Kareena has said Salman is the only co-star who never once made her feel uncomfortable on set. She calls him 'Bhai' in real life, and he personally called her before every film they did together to ask if she was okay with the script.
• Kareena once said: 'Salman is the only actor who can make me laugh so hard that I forget my lines. He doesn't act — he just reacts.'
• In Main Aurr Mrs Khanna (2009), Salman and Kareena shot a train-station breakup scene in one take because he refused to stop crying. She later said his raw emotion made her performance better than she'd rehearsed.
