Kareena-Salman bury the hatchet

After Kareena Kapoor made the first move to kiss and make-up with former friend Salman Khan on Friday, the two couldn’t stop cracking jokes and laughing together on the sets of Main Aur Mrs Khanna
The long-drawn-out cold war between Kareena Kapoor and Salman Khan has come to an end. Much to everyone’s relief, the two stars finally broke the ice while shooting for Main Aur Mrs Khanna at Panchgani on Friday. Cracks in the Kareena-Salman friendship developed when Salman had differences with Shahid Kapur during the Rock Star concert in 2006. Since Kareena and Shahid were romantically involved, Kareena’s relationship with Salman too hit troubled waters.For most onlookers, it was a rare sight to see Kareena, Salman and Saif Ali Khan laughing together and sharing jokes on the film’s sets. Although Saif doesn’t star in the film, he was there to spend time with Kareena.Our source from the production unit said, “When they started shooting for Main Aur Mrs Khanna, Kareena and Salman only behaved like professionals. Anybody who saw them share icy vibes would never have been able to tell that the two were thick friends once upon a time. Even as their on-screen chemistry sizzled in Main Aur Mrs Khanna, they refused to interact off-screen.In fact, things were so bad that director Prem Soni would have to discuss scenes separately with both the stars. But during the Panchgani schedule, Kareena and Salman hit it off instantly.”It was Kareena who made the first move in order to break the ice. Commenting on what exactly happened, our source said, “There was a sensitive scene that required a lengthy discussion. Ideally it was Prem Soni who would have discussed the scene separately with both of them. But this time, things were different. Kareena suddenly walked up to Salman and began chatting about the intricacies of the scene with him. Initially, Salman was taken by surprise but gradually he was amused by what Kareena was saying.Then suddenly, they started laughing out loud. Saif’s presence further eased things as Saif and Salman share an excellent rapport. A delighted Prem Soni then started discussing the scenes with Kareena and Salman together. It was an emotional reunion especially because Kareena’s sister Karisma too is a close friend of Salman.”Our source added, “Despite a cold war with Salman, Kareena had agreed to play the lead in Main Aur Mrs Khanna because she liked the script. But Kareena is happy to bond with Salman once again.”We tried contacting Prem Soni but the director was unavailable for comment.
