Kirron Kher & Arjun Rampal Movies Together List — 4 Films

The shape of the work

The 2000s account for 75% of everything they made together. The 2000s belonged to Om Shanti Om; the 2010s to Ajab Gazabb Love. Kirron Kher acted in every film; Arjun Rampal acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

• Kirron Kher and Arjun Rampal first shared screen space in 'Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna' (2006), but their first film together was actually 'I See You' — released the same year. Kher played Rampal's mother in KANK, then turned around and played his love interest in 'I See You'. Yes, within months, she went from his on-screen mom to his on-screen girlfriend.
• In 'Om Shanti Om' (2007), Kher played Rampal's mother again — but this time she was the comic relief. Rampal, playing a smug villain, would deliberately break character during takes just to make Kher laugh. She later admitted she had to avoid eye contact with him during serious scenes because he'd crack her up with tiny gestures.
• Despite playing mother-son in two films and a bizarre romantic pair in one, Kher and Rampal never actually had a single scene alone together in 'Ajab Gazabb Love' (2012). Their entire 'relationship' in that film was shown through montages and phone calls. They shot their parts on completely different schedules and never met on set.
• Arjun Rampal once said about Kirron Kher: 'She’s the only co-star who has played my mother twice and my girlfriend once. I think that’s a record. And she pulled off both without blinking.' He said this during a 2012 interview promoting 'Ajab Gazabb Love'.
• Their pairing in 'I See You' (2006) was so bizarre — a 50-year-old woman romancing a 34-year-old man — that it directly inspired a wave of age-gap rom-coms in Hindi cinema over the next few years. 'Cheeni Kum' (2007) and 'Jab We Met' (2007) both had older woman-younger man dynamics, though neither matched the sheer awkwardness of 'I See You'.
