Filmfare rates Salman's chemistry with his leading ladies over the yrs

Rani Mukerji and Salman Khan
Chemistry meter - 8/10

Rani Mukerji and Salman Khan made dancing amidst snow-capped mountains, singing in the rain and finding the perfect ending for their love story at the airport look possible in real life. Watching them in popcorn entertainers was a delight to audiences.

Preity Zinta and Salman Khan
Chemistry meter - 9/10

If Rani and Salman made for a perfect Betty and Archie story, Preity was the Veronica in this equation. Preity Zinta-Salman Khan-Rani Mukerji's trio was so much fun to watch that they did two back to back films, Har Dil Joh Pyaar Karega and Chori Chori Chupke Chupke. Almost always a part of love triangles, the magic somewhat worked in films like Jaan-E-Mann and Dil Ne Jise Apna Kaha. Salman and Preity still remain good friends and have often done special numbers for each other's films. Remember Happenin' from Main Aur Mrs Khanna, anyone?

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Salman Khan
Chemistry meter: 10/10

Sanjay Leela Bhansali is the only lucky one to direct the duo on screen. Aishwarya Rai and Salman Khan scorched the screen and how! Watch Aankhon ki gustakhiyaan to know what this Jodi was all abou. It could put Mills & Boons to shame.

Katrina Kaif and Salman Khan
Chemistry meter - 10/10

Whether his off screen romances translated well on screen or he looks good with everyone, is anyone's guess. But where Katrina Kaif is concerned, she and Salman made even a vanilla romance look saucy. We loved them in rom-coms and action-packed dramas but how we wish they'd do a hardcore romantic flick someday.

Priyanka Chopra and Salman Khan
Chemistry meter - 7/10

In a film with six on-screen couples, if there was only one pair that became the talk of the town, it was Salman and Priyanka. Nikhil Advani's Salaam-e-Ishq showed us a side of their chemistry that cannot be forgotten. Even in David Dhawan's comedy, Mujhse Shaadi Karoge, the two brought out a fine balance between comedy and romance.

Kareena Kapoor Khan and Salman Khan
Chemistry meter - 8/10

It was a while before the audiences took to their pairing, as their first two films together - Kyon Ki and Main Aurr Mrs Khanna were box-office duds. But the box-office numbers of their next two outings, Bodyguard and Bajrangi Bhaijaan speak for themselves and have gone down in history. Bodyguard and Bajrangi Bhaijaan broke several records. Whether it's a soothing number like Teri meri from Bodyguard or a zany item number like Fevicol se from Dabangg 2, they know just how set the screen on fire.

Sonakshi Sinha and Salman Khan
Chemistry meter: 8/10

Bhai's fans are very particular about who he's romancing on celluloid. So when he teamed up with the 20-something Sonakshi Sinha in 2011, people were not so sure about this pairing. But once the film hit the screens, people knew they are tailor-made for the Bollywood masala genre. The then newbie, Sonakshi matched up to the superstar's standard and their pairing got a stamp of approval for good.
