Hug & make up

By Rinky Kumar, Team iDiva
Scoops, scandals, hits 'n' misses make celebrities what they are. But what truly sets them apart from us mere mortals are cat fights. These so-called 'confrontations' between two 'stars' garner lot of publicity and reams of newsprint.

We present you a list of celebs who have been at loggerheads since a long time. We really hope, they hug and make up on this World Hug Day. After all, we are giving them adequate reasons to do so:

1) Shah Rukh and Salman Khan
The two Khans had an ugly spat on Katrina Kaif's birthday last year. It all started when Salman passed a snide remark on Shah Rukh's not-so-happening TV game show (read flop Kya Aap Paanchvi Pass Se Tez Hain). That's all SRK wanted. He reiterated by passing not-so pleasant comments about Ash, Salman's ex-girlfriend. The two Khans almost came to blows.

Here's why they should hug and make up:

a) After all, they were the first ones (along with Aamir Khan) who started the 'Khan'daan tradition in Bollywood. How can we forget, they gave us some hit entertaining films like Karan Arjun and Kuch Kuch Hota Hain.
b) According to reports, now that Aamir and Akshay Kumar have joined hands to fight SRK, it's high time the badshah and hunk (Salman, sillies!) make up. Don't they say, my enemy's enemy is my best friend?

2) Mahesh Bhupathi and Leander Paes
Their glorious pair made India proud by winning several Grand slam, Davis Cup and Olympic matches. But then one fine day, their egos clashed and the duo decided never to play again. Though they gave their doubles pairing a shot last year, but the magic was missing. We seriously hope these guys get together.

Here's why:

a) Honestly guys, you the world aware that India can produce some really good tennis stars. Your claim to fame is your pairing. How can you forget, you first became famous as Paes-Bhupathi. So you might as well garner some much-needed attention and prizes while the sun shines.
b) You are the perfect role models for aspiring tennis stars. Please set a good example. After all, won't you be happy if you are remembered as a formidable duo rather than a warring couple?

3) Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie
First Angelina Jolie stole Brad Pitt from Jennifer Aniston on the sets of Mr & Mrs Smith and denied it. Then, she went ahead and accepted it. (As if we didn't know that's what really happened!) Now, Jenny baby thought it was her time to get back, albeit mildly. So she described Angelina's behaviour as really 'uncool'. Phew, this seems to be straight out of a Saas Bahu soap opera or should we say, Mera Pati Sirf Mera Hain serial!

Here's why these women should call it a day:

a) Agreed, Jenny, you lost your man and Angelina just found hers. But the bone of contention here is Brad Pitt. He should be the one who should be blamed. Ok, now we really love his six packs and deep blue eyes. But man, what 'you' did was so 'uncool'.
b) Jenny and Angelina should get together, simply to be on their guard. If Brad can dump Jennifer for Angelina, he can surely dump Angie for someone else.

What say? We sincerely hope these stars read our article, heed our advice and be friends again!
