Sridevi-Yash Chopra
Her godfather was Yash Chopra. She got fame by doing Chandni and Lamhe. Her 'mere haathon mein nau nau churiya hai' from Chandni is still a theme song for wedding ceremonies. Yash Chopra wrote almost all scripts thinking Sridevi in mind. Darr, Dil To Pagal Hai, even Hema Malini's role was supposed to be played by Sridevi in Veer-Zaara.
Madhuri Dixit-Subhash Ghai
She is known for her dance numbers from 90's hits Khalnayak and Ram Lakhan both of the films directed by Subhash Ghai. Her 'choli ke peeche' was the first raunchy item song of bollywood. Ghai wanted Madhuri for Pardes.
Kajol-Karan Johar
Karan Johar once said he writes every script having SRK-Kajol in mind. Kajol never got super stardom but she got fame by doing Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. She rejected Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna but did Kjo's next My Name is Khan where her role was more of a substantial supporting lead.
Aishwarya Rai-Sanjay Leela Bhansali
It is said that Aishwarya has more chemistry with Sanjay Leela Bhansali than her co-stars in his films. Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam made her an overnight superstar in India and Devdas made her an overnight international superstar. Both films were directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. They returned back with Guzaarish. Although the film was commercially a flop but got rave reviews from critics. He wanted to make Bajirao-Mastani with Aishwarya but she rejected.
Kareena Kapoor-Karan Johar
This combo fails to give successful films apart from K3G. All of their films apart from K3G and a below average Ek Main Aur Ek Tu were disasters.
Rani Mukherjee-Aditya Chopra
Rani was considered resident heroine of YRF camp for few years. It was Aditya Chopra who gave her a role in Yash Chopra's Veer-Zaara. She also dis numerous YRF films. Recently she is doing his 'Mardani'.
Aishwarya Rai-Mani Ratnam
Aishwarya was launched in film industry by Mani Ratnam. His political drama film Iruvar which is considered a cult classic in Tamil cinema is the first film of Aishwarya. She was supposed to do Mani's Roja and Bombay but she said in interview that she was busy in pageant that time. So she couldn't do those films. Mani Ratnam did Guru with her again which was a superhit and his only successful Hindi film so far. He also did his immediate next film Raavan (Hindi) and Raavanan (Tamil) with her. While Tamil film Raavanan was a hit and got generally positive reviews the Hindi version of the film Raavan was trashed by critics and it was a flop. Mani Ratnam is again making a film with Aishwarya in Tamil and Telugu with South superstars Mahesh Babu and Nagarjuna.
