SRK and Aamir have both done 2 movies each with Manisha. Your favorite is not any different and has a terrible track record with actresses. You mention him repeating Juhi but fail to mention how he refused to work with her after a spat on Ishq. SRK/Juhi became a more iconic pairing as a result of Aamir's stubbornness. Where is his friendship with Juhi?
Aamir never worked with Madhuri again after 1990. He was pissed she won the Filmfare for Dil and he lost.
Urmila became the face of Rangeela. Aamir was pissed he lost again and the film's legacy hinges on Urmila, not him. He never worked with her again.
Karishma also got more credit on Raja Hindustani as this was the film that made her an A-lister and was known for her makeover. Aamir was overshadowed by his heroine yet again.
You make it seem like Aamir's generosity is why he doesn't work with his top heroines again when the truth is very clearly that he won't work with heroines who overshadow him. SRK has no problem with this, hence why he gives his heroines top billing. Aamir dumps his heroines and uses mediocre actresses like Twinkle or Kareena who will never steal the film from him. Rani gets top heroine parts with SRK and with Aamir she gets useless side roles.
Aamir did work with Katrina twice. Dhoom 3, commercial success but critical flop that ended the Dhoom franchise, and Thugs of Hindustan, one of the biggest box office disasters of all time. The same reasoning you used on SRK to paint him as mercenary by dropping a flop heroine actually does apply here since Aamir hasn't used Katrina since.
Guddu you admit was a flop. Yet, SRK still worked with Manisha in Dil Se afterward so that also fails your point. After Dil Se, Manisha's career as a leading lady in mainstream movies didn't last much longer which is probably why they didn't work together again. Also SRK, in the interview posted in this thread, said Dil Se is a favorite of his.
