Shuddhi has finally has found its lead pair! This long delayed project had all the top actors and actresses names attached to it, but now it’s official that Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt will essay the main roles. But before the movie releases, let’s rank the couples who were considered to play the leads, because it’s fun!

6) Aamir Khan – Deepika Padukone

It was rumoured that Aamir Khan was offered the role after Hrithik Roshan dropped out of it and Deepika Padukone was always rumoured to be attached to the movie after Kareena Kapoor‘s exit. While I know both of them are fantastic actors, I’m not really sold on Deepika and Aamir as a pair yet.

5) Shah Rukh Khan – Deepika Padukone

They look lovely together, but in my heart Shah Rukh Khan belongs to Kajol, at least on-screen!

4) Ranveer Singh – Deepika Padukone

Go watch Ang Lagale from Ram-Leela again to see how hot they look together!

3) Varun Dhawan – Alia Bhatt

I think Varun and Alia look adorable together (much more than Alia and Sidharth Malhotra), that’s why I’m rather happy with this conscious coupling!

2) Hrithik Roshan – Kareena Kapoor

It’s been years since they’ve done a movie together! Shuddhi gave us hope, but even this chance slipped out of our hands.

1) Salman Khan – Deepika Padukone

I really think Deepika and Salman Khan have a lot of untapped chemistry! Did you see them at this year’s Filmfare Awards? Know what I mean right? If not Shuddhi, these two really need to do another movie together, ASAP!

What do you think?
