Hindi film actors, especially those pushing 40, tend to look for young untried co-stars to take away from their fast-fading youth. However, Bollywood history shows the newcomers benefit just as much.
Salman Khan's pairing with the young Sneha Ullal in "Lucky" brings this tradition alive once again.
Way back in 1968, the 45-year-old Raj Kapoor had paired himself with the sensational debutante, Hema Malini, who was barely 17 in "Sapnon Ka Saudagar". The film launched Hema as one of Hindi cinema's most successful female stars.
In the 1960s, Shammi Kapoor launched a number of new girls in the romantic lead opposite himself. Barring Kalpana, who couldn't make any headway after "Professor", all the girls who made their debut with Kapoor - Asha Parekh in "Dil Deke Dekho", Saira Banu in "Junglee", Sharmila Tagore in "Kashmir Ki Kali" - became huge successes.
