Yash and Roohi, six-months-old, did not broker peace, however. Filmfare reports that Kajol herself offered the olive branch - she texted KJo an invite to her birthday party over the weekend, and he showed up. As Filmfare tells it, they hugged and made up, with minimum fuss and drama.
While the reunion may have lacked drama, on Twitter, Kuch Kuch definitely Hota Hai. There was joy, and even speculation about a new Kajol-KJo film:
I already knew Kajol and Karan Johar will patch up. Kajol needs a friend in her life.

There was also a bit of hate:
I really do not feel good about Kajol and Karan patching up.. because it may never be the same again.. Karan has changed, a lot, I am afraid

There were also some tweets suggesting Kajol is in search of a hit.

Just days ago, Kajol was asked by the media what chance there was she and Karan Johar would work together again. Her answer was this, as reported by news agencies: "Let me put it this way, I am not answering any questions on that particular point. If any of my other friends want to offer me a film I'll definitely do it."
She was relatively restrained, when you consider everything KJo wrote about her in his book, An Unsuitable Boy. Here's an example: "I wouldn't like to give her a piece of myself to her at all because she's killed every bit of emotion I had for her for 25 years. I don't think she deserves me. I feel nothing for her anymore."
Kajol and Karan Johar were friends for 25 years before fissures developed, and made films like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham together. KJo blamed Kajol's husband Ajay Devgn for their fraught relationship and boiling point was reached last year when Ajay publicly accused KJo of paying for favourable reviews of his film Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, which was clashing with Ajay's film Shivaay.
