The wedding reception of Salman Khan's sister Arpita and Aayush Sharma brought an end to the bitter clash betweenphotographers and the Dabangg Khan. The lensmen were present in full force at Taj Lands End, where the reception was held on Friday.

Not only did they click the celeb guests who arrived for the celebration, but also Salman who hosted it. Says Rajneesh Kakade, Secretary, Bombay News Photographers' Association (BNPA), "The photographers got an invitation from Salman for the reception and we thought it was a good way to come together and lift the ban. It meant that Salman has no problem with us. We thought the actor had a problem with us because of the way his bodyguards behaved with us and consequently enforced the ban. But this gesture from Salman spoke otherwise. We also have no personal egos. A marriage reception is an auspicious occasion and our best wishes are with the couple."

It was at the launch party of the song Devil from the film Kick, in July, that a fight had ensued between the photographers and Salman's security guards. The cameramen wanted Salman to pose at a particular spot, which the star refused to do. It was then that the star's bodyguards and the lensmen got into a fight with the former supposedly manhandling them. Soon after the photographers issued a ban on the Kick actor and refused to shoot his pictures.

Now that the standoff has ended, Rajneesh says, "Ek baar shoot kar liya toh ab hamesha karenge."
