We always talk about how actors give multiple hits with one director and we call them the hit actor-director jodi. But well, not to forget that there are many actresses who have given multiple hit films with a single director.
So, today, let’s look at the list of top successful actress-director duos of Bollywood…
Deepika Padukone – Sanjay Leela Bhansali
When we talk about hit actress-director duo, the first one that comes to our mind is the jodi of Deepika Padukone and Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The two have worked together in three films, Ram Leela, Bajirao Mastani and Padmaavat. All three films were blockbusters at the box office.
Katrina Kaif – Ali Abbas Zafar
Ali Abbas Zafar and Katrina Kaif are very good friends. Katrina starred in Ali’s first film Mere Brother Ki Dulhan and then in Tiger Zinda Hai and Bharat. The two are all set to team up for the fourth time for a superhero movie. Well, Ali surely knows how to get the best of Katrina.
Bipasha Basu – Vikram Bhatt
Bipasha Basu has worked with Vikram Bhatt in five films, Raaz, Aetbaar, Footpath, Raaz 3D, and Creature 3D. While Creature 3D didn’t do well at the box office, we are sure fans of Bipasha and Bhatt are waiting that the two collaborate soon.
Kareena Kapoor Khan – Rohit Shetty
Kareena Kapoor Khan and Rohit Shetty have worked together in films like Golmaal Returns, Golmaal 3 and Singham Returns. All the three films were blockbusters and we are sure it would be great if Rohit and Kareena soon team up once again.

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.
