It may be an unplanned phenomenon but a hit jodi is treated like an asset in Bollywood.
From Raj Kapoor-Nargis to Shah Rukh Khan-Kajol, the affection showered on these legendary pairs is well-known.
While his own parents -- Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh -- are regarded as one of the best romantic couples on screen and off it, who do you think son Ranbir looks great with?
In his six-year long career, the Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani sensation has worked with a bevy of beauties. Here's your chance to pick your favorite girl for RK Jr.

Deepika Padukone
Ranbir and Deepika's chemistry sizzled in the first film they did together, Bachna Ae Haseeno, also triggering a real-life romance.
Even though the latter didn't last, the duo has demonstrated incredible maturity, wherein they could look over the past and enjoy a beautiful friendship and a healthy working relationship.
It's hard to believe they ever had any rocking history going by their level of comfort in Karan Johar's soon-to-release, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani.
Katrina Kaif

Whether or not they're true, we'd love to see more of Prem and Jenny together.
Sonam Kapoor

The duo looked rather grand together and the film was meant to do spectacular things to their career but fell flat on its face.
Their personal equation too has gone sour after the actress said some uncomplimentary things about RK in an episode of Koffee With Karan.
Nargis Fakhri

But are they good enough for you to want to see them together in another movie?
Bipasha Basu

As the high-maintenance girlfriend he doesn't want to commit to, Bips has delicious fun during payback and he plays the willing putty with equal indulgence.
Minissha Lamba

And while Deepika walks away with Ranbir in the end, it's his supremely cute camaraderie with a wide-eyed, hopeless romantic Minissha Lamba during his teenage phase that is both endearing and heartbreaking.
Priyanka Chopra

Interestingly, notice how, in both these films, RK takes good care of a troubled Priyanka?
Ileana D'Cruz

And it plays very well against Ranbir's tremendous energy.
Together the duo hit all the right notes in Anurag Basu's Barfi!
Konkona Sen Sharma

In Ayan Mukerji's directorial debut, Konkona Sen Sharma plays slightly elder romantic interest to Ranbir and the duo despite their conflicting temperaments share a warm friendship and home, where he makes her bread and jam layered cake on her birthday and she teaches him how to make a perfect omelette.
Shazahn Padamsee

Did she succeed?
Madhuri Dixit

Despite the 16-year age difference, they make a crackling twosome, wouldn't you say?
Moreover, it's so cool to see the senior girls letting their hair down for a change.
