Is Shah Rukh the queen maker of Bollywood?

Rishi Kapoor continues to hold the record for acting opposite the most new actresses. Shah Rukh Khan might as well hold the record for turning his heroines into stars in their own right. With Pakistani actress Mahira Khan making her debut with SRK in Raees, it's time to look at his enviable record.

SRK's leading ladies have always been special. Which is why he decided two years ago that his heroines will get top billing in his films, above his own. Here's taking a look at SRK's gallery of debutantes.

Anushka Sharma in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi

Inspired by Satyajt Ray's Apur Sansar, Aditya Chopra cast a newcomer as a reluctant bride to a replacement groom after her wedding is jeopardised. Never afraid to let his heroines grab the limelight Shah Rukh again allowed his leading lady to blossom as he stood back like a proud gardener.

Deepika Padukone in Om Shanti Om

She had a double role and a dream debut. Today she is the numero uno actress. Gender-equality was reiterated when Shah Rukh ordered her name to be placed above his in the credit titles of Chennai Express. Shah Rukh's ladies have never looked back since then.

Shilpa Shetty in Baazigar

Gawky, gangly and a far cry from the gorgeous babe that she is now, Shilpa got thrown off a building by Shah Rukh in her first film. While she plunged, her career took off.

Mahima Chowdhary in Pardes

Though she couldn't really scale the heights she was expected to, Mahima made a wow-like impact in Subhash Ghai's film and went to work with all top actors of the '90s. From Sanjay Dutt, Akshay Kumar, to Ajay Devgn and Suniel Shetty.

She had a promising career ahead, but she traded that for marriage to a richie rich builder husband Vicky Oberoi. She was being wooed by many makers, but she settled for marital bliss and decided to retire from Bollywood for good
