Bachchans stay away because of SRK?

For once, the Bachchans were conspicuous by their absence at the Filmfare Awards function, and sources say, the presence of Shah Rukh Khan as one of the anchors for the show is the reason for it.

Reportedly, Shah Rukh Khan’s remarks about the Bachchans’ good friend Amar Singh at the function last year had angered the Amar Singh's party members, who created a ruckus outside Shah Rukh’s house and he had to rush from his shooting early to pacify his terrified children. The actor tried to brush off the incident, saying he wondered why people who cannot take a joke come to the function. He said the function was for the film fraternity and people who attend understand the inside jokes.

This year it seems that when Amar Singh found out that SRK was hosting the function, he decided to skip it and apparently so did the Bachchans. The official version was that they were still in mourning, although the fact that just last week, the Big B's family attended the premiere of Jodhaa Akbar, and a few days later, Abhishek and Aishwarya were seen dancing at a function, robs that story of its credibility. The mourning story was just an excuse to say that if Shah Rukh is hosting, you won’t find the Bachchans watching.
