The Ajay Devgan & Karisma Kapoor partnership

The spanned closed with Shaktiman in 1993. It started with Heart (1992).

The shape of the work

Ajay Devgan acted in every film; Karisma Kapoor acted in all of them. Strictly Hindi cinema — they never crossed industries together.

Partnership facts

  • Ajay Devgn was a total newcomer when he signed 'Jigar' (1992). Karisma Kapoor was already a star. She agreed to do the film only after the director convinced her that Ajay had 'screen presence like a young Amitabh Bachchan'.
  • In 'Sangram' (1993), Ajay played a violent, brooding character while Karisma played the bubbly love interest. She deliberately kept her energy high in every scene to make his stillness feel more intense. She said she 'acted like a firecracker so he could be the silent storm'.
  • During the shoot of 'Dhanwaan' (1993), Ajay and Karisma would prank each other between takes. Once, she hid his costume right before a fight scene. He retaliated by hiding her vanity van keys. The crew had to mediate.
  • Karisma Kapoor once said: 'Ajay was the only co-star who never tried to flirt with me on set. He was all business. That's why I respected him. We became friends because he treated me like a colleague, not a heroine.'
  • Their pairing in 'Heart' (1992) was one of the earliest Hindi films to show a modern, urban couple where the woman was more financially independent than the man. That dynamic later became a template for films like 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam' and 'Jab We Met'.
