Legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan and his wife Jaya Bachchan and Son Abhishek Bachchan
Bollywood’s top actress Deepika Padukone continued with her winning streak, legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan and his wife Jaya Bachchan acknowledged actress Rekha in public after three decades and Ranveer Singh snubbed reporters when asked about his love life on the red carpet. Welcome to 2014 Screen Awards, held in Mumbai on Tuesday evening.
It was a big night for Padukone who took home two Best Actor trophies (popular and jury) for her blockbusters Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela and Chennai Express. However, all eyes were on the Bachchan couple who did the unexpected: greet actress Rekha (allegedly Bachchan’s object of affection in his youth) in public. The namaste gesture officially ends their 33-year cold war. Bachchan and his alleged lover in the 1970s had studiously avoided each other at public functionsm while Jaya had made it clear over the years that her conflict with Rekha would remain unresolved. Their last film as a trio was 1981 Silsila — the tale of a married man (Bachchan) and his illicit affair with a woman (Rekha).
Ending feuds diplomatically weren’t the only highlight of this star-studded evening. Padukone’s Ram-Leela co-star and rumoured squeeze Singh lost his cool on the red carpet, with the usually unflappable and exhuberant Singh asking reporters “not to ruin his evening” by asking personal questions about his love life.
While Singh didn’t cut a relaxed figure, Shah Rukh Khan was his cool self as he took home the Best Actor (popular) for his funny act in 2013 blockbuster Chennai Express. The night also belonged to Farhan Akhtar who won the Best Actor (jury) gong for his act in biopic Bhaag Milkha Bhaag.
