Untried, Untested, Unmissable – Potential New-Age Bollywood Pairings We’re Curious About!
Hindi film romances have always leaned on familiarity, be it familiar faces or familiar beats. But every now and then, a pairing comes along that feels slightly risky. Like it could go either way.
Untried, Untested, Unmissable – Potential New-Age Bollywood Pairings We’re Curious About!
Those have the highest chances of grabbing eyeballs. With a younger crop of actors finding their footing, these are the combinations that feel worth watching, even if some of them exist only in imagination for now.
Sahher Bambba & Ishaan Khatter
What makes this pairing interesting is that it isn’t immediately going to strike anyone. Sahher Bambba has a quietness that holds the frame while Ishaan Khatter brings an energy that is unputdownable. Put together, they could create a relationship that unfolds in half-finished conversations. Who is pitching a love story with them in mind?
Pratibha Ranta & Ahaan Panday
Pratibha Ranta feels rooted in a way that’s hard to fake on screen. She reacts honestly. Ahaan Panday, on the other hand, carries the promise and the pressure of a classic Hindi film lead. That contrast could work beautifully if handled right. This feels like a pairing that would benefit from letting emotion build slowly instead of rushing towards spectacle!

Sreeleela & Lakshya Lalwani
There’s no subtlety here and that’s exactly the appeal. Sreeleela brings s confidence and a kind of unfiltered screen joy, while Lakshya Lalwani has the physical presence of a chocolate-boy mainstream hero. Together, they feel suited for a big, unapologetic romantic drama where songs matter and emotion is worn on the sleeve.

Fatima Sana Shaikh & Siddhant Chaturvedi
This pairing stands out. Fatima Sana Shaikh has consistently shown strength and vulnerability in the same breath. Sidhant Chaturvedi, meanwhile, brings an edge that is razor sharp. Together, they could anchor a love story that feels messy, adult and slightly bruised. Bring it on, we say!
Sharvari Wagh & Meezaan Jafri
Neither actor overplays which already puts them ahead of the curve. Sharvari Wagh has a steady confidence while Meezaan Jafri brings an easy warmth. This is the kind of pairing that would shine in a film about everyday intimacy. A warm rom-com if you may!
Ananya Panday & Rohit Saraf
Ananya Panday’s recent choices suggest an actor trying to break out. Rohit Saraf, by contrast, has an instinctive emotionality that audiences respond to quickly. Put them together in the right script — something gentle and there’s room for both to surprise.

Naomika Saran & Vedang Raina
This pairing feels like a glimpse at what might come next. Vedang Raina has a stillness that draws the camera in, while Naomika Saran carries the freshness of someone not yet moulded into type. Together, they could speak to a newer, more self-aware romantic sensibility.
