Well, they have all kissed and made up and it's Om Shanti Om on all fronts again. With a little help from Yash Chopra, Shah Rukh Khan and Farah Khan were finally able to melt Manoj Kumar's heart and the veteran has forgiven all.
As we all know that Kumar was very hurt by the spoof on him in Om Shanti Om and he demanded an apology. Shah Rukh and Farah apologized to him at a press conference and also promised to come over to his house and personally do the same. For some reason or the other, SRK was unable to keep his date with Manoj Kumar last weekend and the veteran again expressed his anguish and disappointment. So finally, on Tuesday night, it seems that Yash Chopra landed at Manoj Kumar's doorstep with SRK, wife Gauri and Farah in tow. According to veteran actor, they did not discuss anything that was bygone. He was magnanimous enough to say that everybody makes mistakes, and that he holds no grudge against anyone anymore. The conversation apparently revolved around SRK's parents who were freedom fighters and Manoj Kumar's mother-in-law, who was a freedom fighter herself. SRK and Gauri clicked photographs with the actor and his wife and it was like a family reunion. The veteran has hit out at sections in the press who have alleged that he was trying to cash in on the success of Om Shanti Om and gain some publicity. He said, that publicity did not matter to him at his age but respect from people was more important. He claimed that he had earned it and was glad to know that SRK belonged to a generation which still believed in respecting its elders. Well, on that point, we agree with you. So, like we said, all's well that ends well. Peace prevails.
