Bipasha Basu hugs Vidya Balan to break the ice

The three-year-old cold war between Bipasha Basu and Vidya Balan has ended, thanks to Bipasha. The two actresses who would often bump into each other at social dos refused to acknowledge each other.

This happened recently at the party of All The Best at a suburban five-star hotel.

The buzz is that the two actresses have not been seeing eye-to-eye ever since rumours of John Abraham's onscreen and off-screen chemistry with Vidya during Nikhil Advani's Salaam-e-Ishq (2007) started doing the rounds. Apparently, the whispers regarding the two started when they shot a romantic scene under a dupatta. It is said that despite Advani calling for a cut, John and Vidya continued to remain inside the dupatta for at least a minute before coming out of it.

There were reports that Bipasha had persuaded John not to work with Vidya after Salaam-E-Ishq. This time however, Bipasha let bygones be bygones.When Vidya entered the party, Bipasha was already present. While chatting with everyone, the cast and crew of the film reminded Vidya that she was the original choice for Bipasha's role in All The Best.

During the course of the conversation, Bipasha, who was also in the group, broke the ice by approaching Vidya. A source says, "Bipasha just went up to Vidya and hugged her."

Vidya, who didn't expect such warmth from Bipasha, was shocked.

The source adds, "Before it could all sink in, Bipasha was already talking to her with a big smile on her face. Later, John too spoke to Vidya."

Bipasha did not deny that she met Vidya at the party. However, she maintains, "I never had any problem with Vidya. Many ridiculous stories are printed every day in the media. I don't change my attitude towards people according to them."

However, Vidya chose to remain mum about the issue.
