Item girl Rakhi Sawant has reportedly buried the hatchet with ex-beau Abhishek Awasthi and apologised to his mother for her mistakes on the reality show "Zara Nachke Dikha".

A source said that Rakhi became emotional and made a public apology to Abhishek's mother who was present on the sets for the mother's special episode shoot. Rakhi even hugged her.

Abhishek's mother too became emotional on seeing Rakhi and Abhishek dancing together and confessed that Rakhi always was and will continue to be like her daughter and that she wants them to reunite.

Abhishek and Rakhi are sharing a public platform for the first time after their much-publicised breakup. Earlier, they were seen as a couple on "Nach Baliye".
