Ajay Devgan with Aishwarya Rai over the years

 


An underrated screen pairing; Ajay Devgan with Aishwarya Rai.

They have worked together in four films (primarily as co-stars, with Ajay often in a supporting or key role alongside her).

Movie Name
Year
Director
Verdict (Hit/Flop)
Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam
1999
Sanjay Leela Bhansali
Blockbuster (one of the highest-grossing films of 1999)
Hum Kisise Kum Nahin
2002
David Dhawan
Average (performed average despite star cast)
Khakee
2004
Rajkumar Santoshi
Above Average (decent collections, multi-starrer action thriller)
Raincoat
2004
Rituparno Ghosh
Flop (critically acclaimed but poor box office)
Quick Notes:
  • Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam was their biggest commercial success together. Ajay played the mature husband (Vanraj) to Aishwarya's Nandini, with Salman Khan as the love interest. It was a major hit with iconic music and performances.
  • The other three were multi-starrers or niche dramas where they shared screen time but weren't the only leads.
  • Raincoat is often praised as one of their best acting showcases (a subtle, emotional chamber drama), though it flopped commercially.
