Normally, when two big stars have a public fall-out, building bridges becomes difficult. It takes years sometimes (SRK-Salman fight) and in some cases ceasefire is never called. But Piku stars Amitabh Bachchan and Deepika Padukone’s problem happened and got sorted in a matter of few months. While Big B was missing from Dippy’s success party for Piku, it raised a lot of eyebrows. Especially, when Bachchan Sr admitted in an interview that he had not been invited to the success bash of the film he not only acted in, but also produced. Deepika’s defense was there had a been a slip-up and that the senior actor had not been left out of the guest list on purpose. A few months passed, and Sony Motion Pictures had a party. Naturally, Big B and Deepika were both there. All eyes were on the senior actor as he walked in, and his screen daughter was already in the same room. A guest from the party says, ‘It was big of Deepika to make the first move. He was talking to someone and his back was turned to her. She walked up to him, tapped his shoulder and said, ‘hello’. He turned around, saw her and while everyone waited with bated breath to see what would happen, he graciously said ‘hello’ and gave her a warm hug.” And that is how it happened.
