Sanjay Leela Bhansali is a multi-talented personality. He is a writer, director, producer, and music composer. The filmmaker has composed songs for his movies like Guzaarish, Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela, Bajirao Mastani, Padmaavat, and Malaal, and all the songs were chartbusters.
Bhansali has also composed music for his upcoming film Gangubai Kathiawadi. But, before we get to hear the songs of the Alia Bhatt starrer, we will get to listen to Bhansali’s music in a Ghazal album titled Sukoon.
According to Bollywood Hungama, the music album will be out in the first week of September on Saregama. The filmmaker worked on Sukoon during the lockdown.
While talking about it, Bhansali told the portal, “Of late, I’ve been composing music for my own films. But this is my first independent album. I am keen to know the listeners’ reaction.”
Well, it will surely be interesting to listen to songs of Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s first independent music album.
Meanwhile, the filmmaker is currently busy with the post-production of Gangubai Kathiawadi and the pre-production of his series Heeramandi.
A few days ago, Heeramandi was officially announced. Bhansali Productions had tweeted, “An epic experience awaits you... A visual spectacle that will leave you breathless. We are thrilled to bring #SanjayLeelaBhansali's #Heeramandi on @NetflixIndia .”
The series will stream on Netflix.
Talking about Gangubai Kathiawadi, the film was slated to release in July this year but was postponed due to the second wave of Covid-19 in India. The new release date of the film is not yet announced.
The singer jokingly texted Clairo saying, "Let's f**k her up," sparking an online frenzy
Why Charli XCX jokingly declared war on Peppa Pig after one viral comment
Highlights
What started as a playful celebrity game has turned into one of the internet's most unexpected viral moments, with Charli XCX jokingly threatening to "f**k up" Peppa Pig after the beloved cartoon character appeared to dismiss singer Clairo.
The exchange quickly spread across social media, drawing reactions from fans and fellow musicians, while turning an unlikely clash between a pop star and a fictional children's character into a trending talking point.
Peppa Pig's viral remark sparked the joke
The playful exchange began during Peppa Pig's appearance in Pitchfork's Over/Under game, where the animated character rated a selection of music artists.
While expressing admiration for acts including PinkPantheress and The Beatles, Peppa responded to Clairo by saying, "I don't know her," a line widely recognised as a reference to Mariah Carey's famous response when asked about Jennifer Lopez.
The remark, accompanied by a knowing glance at the camera, quickly gained traction online.
Charli XCX rushed to Clairo's defence
After seeing the clip, Charli XCX privately messaged Clairo, writing, "Let's f**k her up," alongside a screenshot of the viral post.
Clairo later shared the exchange on social media, prompting thousands of reactions from fans, many of whom responded with pig and bacon-themed jokes.
PinkPantheress, whom Peppa had praised in the original video, also joined the conversation, posting a message supporting Clairo.
As the exchange continued, Clairo responded to the growing attention with humour, replying to posts before eventually telling followers, "ok that's enoughhhhh lolllllllllll."
Some fans joked that the viral moment was the perfect opportunity for the singer to announce new music, though Clairo replied that she did not have anything ready to share.
Her most recent album, Charm, was released in 2024, with its accompanying tour concluding in 2025.
Charli XCX keeps her focus on new music
While the online joke continued to gather momentum, Charli XCX did not publicly add to the exchange.
Instead, the singer has been focusing on promoting her upcoming album, Music, Fashion, Film, which is scheduled for release on July 24.
Although fans speculated that one of the track titles could be a playful nod to the viral exchange, there has been no indication that the album references the light-hearted social media moment.
