When Karan Johar showed Jaya Bachchan using a stool to help her husband, Amitabh Bachchan, wear his tie in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, it was a classic case of a tall husband with his not-so-tall wife. If only Bollywood actors had a similar height difference in real life!

Don’t let Hindi film heroes and heroines fool you with their on-screen taller-than-usual avatars. 

Just because Aamir Khan was made to look as tall as Katrina Kaif in Dhoom 3, doesn’t mean he is actually that tall! Or for that matter, Salman and Sushmita Sen in Maine Pyar Kyun Kiya.
