The ‘dates’ they’re a-flying. And now the soothsayers say our movie industry’s most ‘beautiful relationship’ will be solemnized into a super-glam shaadi on the 19th of March this year. Aishwarya and Abhishek themselves are merely smiling enigmatically and not letting their ‘words’ confuse a much-harried media further. And, the ‘give-away-nothing’ expression of dad-in-law-to-be, Amitabh Bachchan, gives nothing away.

While Jaya Bachchan smiles it away too...so the guessing goes on about India’s most glamorous couple. But think! Surely, besides Abhi and Ash, there were other couples with the mantle of glam on their perfectly sculpted personas? Who commanded as much newsprint, electronic coverage; with as much pizzazz as ‘Brangelina’ and ‘TomKat’? But of course, I didn’t have to look far to discover Bollywood’s hottest couples. Beginning with Ash and Abhi of course…

1. Abhishek Bachchan & Aishwarya Rai

She’s the most beautiful girl in the world. Also, hot, haute and cool at the same time. He’s Mr. Eligible himself. Tall, dark, handsome; with impeccable genes and upbringing. Ash is India’s answer to the world, Abhi wears the enviable Bachchan tag with his own initials. Separately they’re stunning, together they’re sensational.

2. John Abraham & Bipasha Basu

Bipasha is our answer to Ursula Andress’ ‘Venus rising from the sea’ act. John is one who can give Antonio Banderas a run for his bandana.

Together they’re the sexiest couple. The pictures speak for themselves.

3. Shah Rukh & Gauri Khan

He’s the badshah of all that he surveys. His stardom conquers foreign boundaries, beyond all the lands of tinsel. Even Penelope Cruz has expressed a desire to work with the man likened as ‘more popular’ than Brad Pitt by Time magazine. His wit and style are hypnotic. And as Mrs Khan, Gauri isn’t far behind. Making her own mark in the world of glitz with her personal style. They have more than a dash of panache together.

4. Hrithik & Suzanne Roshan

The man is the hottest hunk on the marquee. The lady has a pedigree herself. He’s the finest actor, dancer and looker, with a body several ‘cuts’ above the rest. She’s the finest interior designer on the scene.

Hrithik and Suzanne make dhoom together.

5. Shahid Kapur & Kareena Kapoor

She’s the sexiest, prettiest and the most blooming rose in the gardens of Eden. Her talent and her blue blood past compare. Kareena Kapoor is the kind of girl who figures in every man’s dream. Shahid is the cute, decent star next door. Together? Magic.

6. Ajay & Kajol Devgan

He’s brooding, intense and deep. And a fabulous actor to boot. She’s exuberant, intelligent and gorgeous; not to add, dynamite on screen. Together Ajay and Kajol make for an almost Hollywood flair.

7. Bobby & Tanya Deol

From the super looking, superstrong Deol genes comes the dashing Bobby. And Tanya, his lovely wife, makes him look even better with her immense creativity and style.

8. Arjun & Mehr Rampal

Two supermodels together. Two lovely, perfect people, Arjun and Mehr Rampal make heads turn - as expected - wherever they go.

9. Fardeen & Natasha Khan

He’s got the stylish Khan genes. She’s the daughter of one of our most endearing actresses ever. The son of Feroz Khan and the daughter of Mumtaz - Fardeen and Natasha, leave their own stamp of style everywhere.

10. Salman Khan, Sushmita Sen, Sanjay Dutt, Mallika Sherawat

Need I add? These guys look super whoever they’re paired with. Right?
