Ash, Salman patch up ?

December 07, 2006, Rediff.com

The impossible may have happened!

Looks like Aishwarya Rai and former boyfriend Salman Khan have patched up. Or at least come to a truce.

It all took place at the premiere of Baabul on December 6, when the film's cast, Salman, Amitabh Bachchan and Rani Mukerji, made a grand entry.

Ash -- who has made it a major point to avoid Sallu, films with him and all engagements the actor was attending, after they broke up four years ago -- surprise, surprise, looking very glam in black, came sweeping into the premiere.

The media nearly fell out of their chairs.

A source tells us there was a significant exchange of glances between Salman and Ash. Amitabh was standing by, probably as the broker of peace.

Salman was seen chatting with Amitabh and Abhishek Bachchan. Salman obviously gets along better with Abhishek than he did with Ash's previous beau, Vivek Oberoi!

Meanwhile, John Abraham, who also stars in Baabul, arrived at the premiere only after Salman made an exit. No doubt, there is no patch up on that front.

‘Baabul’ movie images: A sneak peak!

Baabul: A triumph of perseverance

Baabul is all about happiness over traditions. One should respect traditions, but not shut the doors to life because of it. The movie is from the makes of 'Baghban'


Amitabh Bachchan as Balraj Kapoor

Despite his domineering presence, Balraj Kapoor is humility personified. He is a loving husband, a friendly father and an ideal father-in-law. For him nothing is above the true happiness of heart.


Hema Malini as Shobhna Kapoor

Shobhna is the better half of Balraj Kapoor. Though she may snub her husband and son at times, her heart is full of love for them both.


John Abraham as Rajat

Rajat is a close friend of Malvika. Like her, he also has interest in arts. His passion is for music. And his love is only expressed through his songs


Salman Khan as Avinash Kapoor

Avinash is a bundle of energy. The only son of Balraj and Shobhna, he is buoyant, vivacious and love-struck. He persists at winning the love of the woman he desires, and he succeeds also.


Rani Mukherjee as Malvika Talwar

Beautiful Malvika has a penchant for painting. She has a very clean heart that makes clear distinction between love and friendship. And when she loves, she commits for her lifetime.
