When a disheartened Rani Mukerji opened up on her soured relationship with Abhishek Bachchan

Relationships in Bollywood change at the blink of an eye and nothing is constant in this glamorous world. Good friends today may turn strangers tomorrow and that’s what probably happened between Rani Mukerji and Abhishek Bachchan.

Both the stars have entertained the audience with their impeccable chemistry in films like ‘Yuva’, ‘Bunty Aur Babli’, ‘Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna’, ‘Laaga Chunari Mein Daag’ and more. Whispers were being heard in the industry that their crackling chemistry is the result of their off-screen chemistry. Apparently the two were ‘closest’ friends in B-Town, but as said nothing is constant in this industry, their bond too fiddled off.

But we did not have an idea that grapes had turned so sour that there was no going back. We stumbled upon an old interview of Rani with a leading magazine wherein she spoke about her relationship with Junior B.

She surely seemed disheartened with Abhi’s act of not inviting her to his marriage. When asked about the same she was quoted, “Only Abhishek can throw light on that. The truth is that if a person chooses not to invite you to their wedding, you realise where you stand with the person. You may be deluded and think you are friends but maybe the friendship was only restricted to being co-stars on the sets.”

She added, “It doesn’t matter. It became very clear and evident that we were only co-actors and not friends. Moreover inviting someone to a wedding is a personal choice. Tomorrow when I decide to get married, I will choose the handful of people I want to invite. A lot has been blown out of proportion. Poor guy has been married for many years, we should all move on. I will always have fond memories of working with him.”

Well, as of now, both are settled and enjoying their personal space.
