Bollywood’s ‘Mr. Perfectionist’ Aamir Khan and legendary actress Sridevi are both immortal names in the history of Indian cinema. Aamir is famous for his hard work, passion and choice of stories, while Sridevi was a unique combination of acting skills and stunning beauty. Although both are superstars in their own right, surprisingly, these two stars have never worked together in a film.

Aamir Khan himself was responsible for this, and the reason was quite strange – his height.

Height ‘uncomfortable’
According to a report published in the Indian media, Aamir Khan did not want to pair with Sridevi because he considered himself ‘much shorter’ compared to Sridevi. When Sridevi was ruling Bollywood at the peak of her career, Aamir felt that their pair would not suit each other on screen. Aamir himself once said, “I didn’t get along with Sridevi. I was much shorter than her. If we were to see each other on screen, Sridevi would look much older than me.”

Although this height ‘conflict’ prevented Aamir from working with Sridevi, he greatly admired her talent. He considered her a great actress and had deep respect for her. However, professionally, he never decided to share the screen with Sridevi.

A photoshoot together
Although they were not seen together in the film, Aamir and Sridevi worked together in a photoshoot for a magazine. Those pictures raised a question in the minds of fans – if these two legends had worked together in the film, what extraordinary gift would the audience have received?

A new generation of couples
Although Aamir and Sridevi did not work together, their successors have filled this ‘imperfection’. Recently, Sridevi’s daughter Khushi Kapoor was seen opposite Aamir Khan’s son Junaid Khan. This new pairing has created excitement among the audience and has given a new dimension to the unfinished story of Aamir-Sridevi.

Sridevi’s mysterious death
When it comes to Sridevi, there is no way to avoid remembering her untimely demise. She was found dead in a bathtub in a hotel in Dubai on February 24, 2018. Exactly how she died, what happened that night – the answer to this remains a mystery. Sridevi’s passing is an irreparable loss to Indian cinema, and she will forever remain an icon in the minds of her fans.

Aamir-Sridevi: An Elusive Dream
Fans still wonder what could have happened if Aamir Khan’s perfectionism and Sridevi’s unparalleled talent had come together on screen. If it weren’t for this small ‘excuse’ of height, perhaps Bollywood could have witnessed a remarkable pair. However, the contributions that Aamir and Sridevi have made in their respective fields will never fade.
