Just when I was beginning to believe that cock and
bull story of SRK-Big B rivalry ending I was told this: Shah Rukh Khan has
planned his annual vacation in such a way that he won’t be able to attend the
International Indian Film Academy (IIFA) Awards. And if one notices it has
almost become a ritual of sorts every year. Now the awards ceremony is said to
be the bastion of the Bachchans. And that’s reason enough for Shah Rukh Khan to
avoid it as diplomatically as possible. But when Amitabh Bachchan publicly
expressed his desire to invite SRK, everyone’s ears perked up!A little birdie
tells me that Big B has also kept his word and sent out an invite to SRK.
Needless to say our man has already found a suitable excuse.

Apparently SRK plans to vacation with his family in
London for some 10 days.I am also told that he will address a select section of
the media there before going to an undisclosed location after that. And what is
so unusual about this? Well SRK, I am given to believe, is free as a jaybird
right now (he’s to start shooting for My Name is Khan at the end of June).His
children too are enjoying their summer break.And while he could have well gone
on a break right now, our man has taken special permission to excuse them from
school whenever it starts.

Meanwhile Farah Khan – who has won an award for her
choreography – has also opted out of the function saying she needs to spend time
with her kids! Seems like this war is far from over…
