There are few things worse than a run-in with an ex flame — unless they decided to be 'good friends' after parting ways. So, when this leading producer met his long-lost love at a recent awards function, they sat next to each other throughout the event, exchanging benign smiles as well as furtive glances.

Insiders say this producer, who is now married, was in a relationship with the actress at one point of time and even wanted to settle down with her. "They were madly in love but circumstances led them to break up. However, they continue to be good friends.

At the awards show, they met, sat next to each other and even  left the venue together," says a source.
