Axe the ex effect in Bollywood

Former flames Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor have proved that ex flames can work together. Both have moved on and have no awkward moments or they would have not done a film together. Considering Dippy's outspokenness about RK on Karan Johar's chat show, both hold no grudge against each other either.

Buzz is that Kareena Kapoor will team up with Hrithik Roshan in Karan Malhotra's upcoming film despite the B-Town gossip about the reasons the two stars have not done a film together for the last few years. Here's looking at some more ex-flames we would want to bury their differences and scorch the silver screen together again...

John Abraham -Bipasha Basu
They may have parted ways and Johnny boy even allegedly got her dropped from doing an item number in one of his films. But the strikingly fit couple could at least get together for an action flick.

Aishwarya Rai-Salman Khan
Ash would have nothing to do with Sallu now. But imagine seeing them recreate the Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam chemistry yet again? Reason enough!

Kareena Kapoor-Shahid Kapoor
By the time their film Jab We Met released, they had parted ways. This was the only film of the duo that proved to be successful. Considering that Bebo had changed herself for him including turning veg, she could be professional enough to act with him again. With Kareena apparently agreeing to do a film with Hrithik, she is at least showing the way.

Akshay Kumar- Priyanka Chopra
From Aitraaz to Andaaz to Mujhse Shaadi Karogi and Waqt - The Race Against Time ... the Khiladi and PC's run at the box office was rumoured to have stopped after Akki's wife Twinkle took a serious note of their alleged link-up. They never worked together again. But what about being professional now?

Govinda-Rani Mukerji
They did a string of films together like Hadh Kar Di Aapne, Pyar Deewana Hota Hai and Chalo Ishq Ladaaye. Rani would prefer to forget this chapter in her life now. But both made for some real fun moments on the big screen. Rani was rumoured to be drawn to Govinda's easygoing manners and ability to make everyone laugh.
