They say there’s no biz like showbiz. With more than 100 films releasing every year, debut films are the most risky proposal in Hindi Cinema. Even star sons are launched with much fanfare as a lot is at stake including the audience’s expectations and acceptance. While some grab people’s eyeball in their first attempt, others bite the dust. A hit film not only garners appreciation, but also opens a way for a new comer. When it comes to onscreen romance, there are a few actors who have nailed it in the first go and are still remembered for those remarkable blockbusters. Here’s a list of 10 reel couples who got it right in their debut movie.

Directed by Rakesh Roshan, ‘Kaho Naa…Pyaar Hai’ was an instant hit among the young generation who fell in love with Rohit (Hrithik Roshan) and Sonia’s (Ameesha Patel) characters. While Hrithik’s dual role as a simple teenager in the first half and a happy-go-lucky man in the second half left an impeccable impression among his female fans, Ameesha’s bubbly and innocent look made her a suitable female counterpart for any male. It is said that Hrithik even got over 30,000 marriage proposals after the release of the film. Apart from this, the film went on to earn a place in the Limca Book of Records for winning the highest number of awards.

Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt – ‘Student Of The Year’ (2012)

The respective kids of prominent directors David Dhawan & Mahesh Bhatt, Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt were able to make a fair fist in this movie which had a thin storyline.

SOTY was kind of a perfect launch-pad for these débutantes who seem to have their career running successfully so far.
