‘Saajan’ (1991)

A tragic love triangle, Saajan stars Salman as the debonair Akash, who gives up his love for his best friend Aman (Sanjay Dutt). The actor's portrayal of the free-spirited but devoted friend is memorable for its emotional complexity, and the film remains a classic romantic drama.

‘Hum Aapke Hain Koun.!’ (1994)

Salman plays Prem, the affable younger brother in a sprawling family, who falls for his bhabhi’s sister, Nisha (Madhuri Dixit). His endearing innocence and chemistry with Madhuri made this family saga a record-breaking blockbuster and a cultural phenomenon.

‘Judwaa’ (1997)

In ‘Judwaa,’ a comedy film, Salman played a dual role of twin brothers Raja and Prem who are separated. His witty lines, different personalities, and dynamic screen presence made Judwaa a comedy riot and proved him to be a versatile actor.

‘Karan Arjun’ (1995)

Salman co-starred with Shah Rukh Khan in this movie, where two brothers reincarnated to fight for revenge for their past existence. His bold and aggressive version of Karan (later named Ajay) gave the added punch to the action-oriented drama, and fans loved it.

‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam’ (1999)

As Sameer, Salman gives a sincere performance as a doting lover in a love triangle. His vulnerability and chemistry with Aishwarya Rai raised this Sanjay Leela Bhansali musical to a classic romance.
