Apparently, it was Drona's director and Abhishek's childhood friend, Goldie Behl who played peacemaker.
When contacted, Goldie said, “Karisma and Kareena are my cousins.

My mother Madhu Behl (fondly known as Bubbles) was a Kapoor before marriage. She is the daughter of veteran actor Kamal Kapoor.”

Incidentally, this is the first Bachchan premiere for which the Kapoor sisters have been invited since the marital alliance between the two families ended.

The Kapoors too are willing to respond warmly to this peacemaking gesture. Kareena openly said that she would like to work with Abhishek again after their debut film, Refugee and Main Prem Ki Diwani Hoon. But, Abhishek has always maintained a stoic silence.

He had refused to comment even when it was rumoured that Kareena was gently eased out of Abhishek's upcoming film, Dostana and replaced by Priyanka Chopra.

However, Abhishek too is ready to make peace. Expressing his approval of the Kapoor sisters' presence at the Drona premiere, Abhishek said, “I would love to work with Bebo (Kareena) again.

She was my first heroine and that makes her very special.” And if you thought an invitation to the Drona premiere is the only peacemaking effort between the Bachchans and Kapoors, there's more to it.

Karisma has been signed as a judge on the music reality show, Nach Baliye, which is produced by Wizcraft, who are extremely close to the Bachchans.

Wizcraft had organised the Bachchans recently concluded Unforgettable Tour. And it is highly unlikely that Karisma was considered by Wizcraft without the Bachchans' tacit approval.
