Seven On-Screen Couples with Zero Chemistry


So we all have our favourites when it comes to the hottest on-screen couples. Shah Rukh Khan-Kajol, Ranbir Kapoor-Katrina Kaif, Hrithik Roshan-Aishwarya Rai… the list goes on. But what about actors who make us cringe with their lack of chemistry? These are couples who make us go “eew” instead of “aww”. Here are the Top 7.

Shahid Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor: It took two long years to complete Mausam. What was the couple doing; eating carrots? May be it was Mr Karamchand aka Pankaj Kapoor who was doing that. Whatever it was, Shahid-Sonam’s chemistry just doesn’t work in spite of having ample amount of time to get comfortable with each other.

Imran Khan and Shruti Haasan: Imran Khan is known for his wooden expression and Shruti’s repertoire of expressions… well let’s not go there. Together they looked so impassive in Luck that it felt like two chairs mating!


Ajay Devgn and Shazahn Padamsee: They have two decades of age difference between them. But age hardly matters since most of our top-notch heroes romance heroines half their age (SRK-Deepika, Akshay-Katrina…); but with Ajay-Shazahn it kind of looked erm.. incestuous! He looked like her father in Dil Toh Baccha Hai Ji; don’t you think?


Salman Khan and Zarine Khan: This couple also has two decades of age difference between them. Wait… you get the drift. Although in their case it was Zarine who looked like his mother, since Salman is so child-like.

Abhishek Bachchan and Deepika Padukone: Considering both are enviably tall and fairly good looking, one would think their chemistry would be astounding in Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey. Sadly it wasn’t. But then again it was probably director Ashutosh Gowariker’s script that was the culprit.

Bobby Deol and Sonam Kapoor: There was absolutely no spark or anything like ‘chemistry’ between them in Thank You. But to be fair to Sonam; she was paired with Bobby Deol! What choice did she have?



Sanjay Dutt- Mallika Sherawat/ Sanjay Dutt- Ameesha Patel: What do you get when you pair a sexy actress (but not really talented) with a podgy actor (who is brilliant)? You get Double Dhamaal and Chatur Singh Two Star!
