Kajol and Shahrukh Khan are known as one of the best pairs on the Bollywood cinema screen. They have acted together in several hit films such as BAAZIGAR, DILWALE DULHANIA LE JAYENGE, KUCH KUCH HOTA HAI, KABHI KHUSHI KABHIE GHAM, and MY NAME IS KHAN. Their relationship off-screen is also very close, and they often refer to each other as best friends. Their chemistry on camera has led many to consider them an iconic Bollywood couple.
However, despite their friendship appearing very strong, there was a time when their relationship was disrupted. In 2012, a major event in the Bollywood film industry affected the dynamics of this friendship. Shahrukh Khan's film, JAB TAK HAI JAAN, directed by Yash Chopra, faced direct competition with the film SON OF SARDAAR starring Ajay Devgn. Both films were scheduled to be released on the same date, creating a major clash at the box office.
