Madhuri Dixit and Rani Mukherji have worked with both father and son in movies.

Madhuri Dixit has done an item number in the upcoming film Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani with Ranbir Kapoor. Over a decade ago, Madhuri matched steps with Ranbir's dad Rishi Kapoor in Yaarana andPrem Granth. Here's an ode to these timeless actresses who managed to romance both father and son on the big screen.

Madhuri Dixit

Rishi and Ranbir Kapoor were not the only father-son jodi that Madhuri got to romance. In Feroz Khan's 1988 film Dayavan, she was paired opposite Vinod Khanna.

At that time, Madhuri was 20 and Vinod 42 but their sensuous song together, Aaj phir tumpe, became a rage. Nine years later, Madhuri was paired opposite Vinod Khanna's son Akshaye in Mohabbatwhich was directed by her then manager Rakesh Nath's wife Reema.

Dimple Kapadia

Sunny Deol and Dimple Kapadia came together in 1984 with Manzil Manzil. Later, Dharmendra acted with Dimple in Mast Kalandar in 1991 and, in fact, both of them even had a kiss in their next filmDushman Devta which also released in 1991.

Sridevi

This is a rare case when an actress worked with the son first and then the father. In 1990, Sridevi worked with Dharmendra as his lead in a film called Naka Bandi. Earlier in 1989, Sridevi worked with Sunny Deol in Chaalbaaz. In fact there are five other films in which Sridevi and Dharmendra were seen together.

Rani Mukherji

It was 2001 when Rani Mukerji and Abhishek Bachchan worked for Bas Itna Sa Khwab Hai. They later did films like Yuva, Bunty Aur Babli and Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna. In 2005, Rani and Amitabh Bachchan worked together in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Black. They even shared a kiss in the film.

Amrita Singh

She made her debut with Sunny Deol in Betaabi in 1983. Six years down the line she worked with his dad Dharmendra in Sachai Ki Taqat as his wife.

Actress Kajol says though family responsibilities and her husband actor Ajay Devgn's film production company has been keeping her busy, she is waiting for a right script to act in a movie again.

"It has to be a good script with a tight screenplay. The production house needs to be good too. It is as important as your role in the film," Kajol told PTI.

Daughter of actress Tanuja and film director Shomu Mukherjee, Kajol made her acting debut with Bekhudi in 1992 while she was in school.

The 38-year-old actress is known for her memorable performances in films like 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge', 'Gupt', 'Dushman', 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai', 'Fanaa', 'My Name Is Khan', among others.

After getting married to actor Ajay Devgn, she took a sabbatical from full-time acting in 2001 and returned to films with the 2006 romantic thriller 'Fanaa'. After that she appeared in films in cameo appearances. She was last seen in a prominent role in Karan Johar's home production 'We Are Family' (2010).

When she is not doing movies, Kajol said her two children- daughter Nysa and son Yug-- and husband's production house keep her busy.

"Looking after babies is a full-time job. But spending time with my kids gives me a great amount of personal satisfaction and I am enjoying each and every moment of this amazing experience that god has gifted me with," Kajol said.

"We also have a production house-- Ajay Devgn Films. I am not involved in it 24x7. But yes, I like overseeing everything," she said.

Her pairing with superstar Shah Rukh Khan had been a highlight of her career, as they delivered a number of romantic hits like 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge', 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai', 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham', among others.

"I think it is got to do with the movies we have made together. They have all done well. There is a cinematic history that has contributed to the overall persona of us as a pair. We share a good comfort level and are also good friends," she said.
