When Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol revealed why they never dated each other

Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol have been one of Bollywood’s most loved on-screen pairs, lighting up the screen with their incredible chemistry in films like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. Their last film together was Dilwale, where they reunited alongside Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon. In a throwback interview with NDTV, they were asked if they might’ve dated each other had they both been single. Kajol answered honestly, saying she wasn’t sure since she was already dating Ajay Devgn during Baazigar. Shah Rukh, always quick with a joke, chimed in saying, “I was also seeing Ajay at that time,” making everyone laugh.

Their first film together, Baazigar, was a major hit and marked the beginning of a legendary on-screen partnership. Shah Rukh played a complex, grey-shaded character that really stood out, while Kajol’s performance brought heart and intensity. The chemistry between them was instant and unforgettable, and fans quickly fell in love with the pair. Over the years, their connection only got stronger on screen, turning every film they did together into something special and iconic.

Off screen, both stars have built beautiful lives for themselves. Shah Rukh married Gauri Khan even before he entered the film industry, and they’ve raised three kids together — Aryan, Suhana, and AbRam. Kajol started dating Ajay Devgn in the mid-90s and the two tied the knot in a simple Maharashtrian ceremony at Ajay’s home in 1999. They’re now proud parents to daughter Nysa and son Yug. Despite being huge stars, both Shah Rukh and Kajol have always kept their personal lives fairly low-key and grounded.

On the career front, Shah Rukh was last seen in Rajkumar Hirani’s Dunki, and is now gearing up for King, an action-packed thriller directed by Siddharth Anand. The exciting part? His daughter Suhana Khan is making her big-screen debut in the same film, alongside Abhishek Bachchan. Kajol, meanwhile, is set to star in Maa, a horror film directed by Vishal Furia, which hits theatres on June 27, 2025. The film also features Ronit Roy, Indraneil Sengupta, and several others. It’s clear that both stars continue to evolve — and fans can’t wait to see what they do next.
