About
the
much-discussed
patch
up
with
Shahrukh
Khan,
Farah
says
shyly,
"We
hugged
at
the
awards
function.
When
I
went
backstage
for
my
media
bytes
his
van
was
parked
right
there.
His
spot
boy
saw
me
and
opened
his
van's
door.
So
naturally
I
just
popped
my
head
in."
Even
earlier
at
another
awards
function
last
week
Shahrukh
had
invited
Farah
to
meet
her
backstage.
"That
time
I
couldn't.
This
time
I
did," says
Farah.
At
the
same
awards
function
Farah
took
her
renewed
friendship
with
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
(SLB)
to
another
level.
They
had
fallen
out
during
the
Friday
feud
over
Saawariya
and
Om
Shanti
Om.
But
had
begun
the
process
of
reconciliation
last
year.
At
the
awards
function
on
Tuesday,
SLB
and
Farah
got
a
chance
to
bond
under
very
peculiar
circumstances.
They
were
both
stranded
on
stage
waiting
for
their
awards
when,
like
two
shipwrecked
soldiers
deserted
on
an
island,
SLB
and
Farah
struck
up
a
muffled
conversation.
Laughs
Farah,
"It
was
really
funny.
Sanjay,
Akshay
Kumar
and
I
were
called
up
.Then
we
stood
there
for
a
good
twenty
minutes
while
a
long
audio-visual
was
shown.
Then
there
were
some
speeches.
Then
Akki
got
his
award
and
left
the
stage."
That
left
SLB
and
Farah
to
make
the
best
of
one
another's
company.
The
two
decided
to
have
lunch
together
later
this
week.
"Would
you
believe,
Sanjay
has
still
not
seen
my
children?"
Farah
cribs
good-naturedly.
One
wonders
whom
Farah
will
patch
up
with
next.
