He said: “To be honest, I’ve addressed this over and over again. There’s no problem. Her not coming to my wedding is totally understandable. It was a period when she was promoting her film and, to be honest, we all know how it is when she’s promoting her film.
“She takes her craft seriously, so it’s very understandable. Not everybody you invite to your wedding is going to come. I mean, not everybody I invited came. So there’s no problem in that department. That’s somebody who has contributed immensely to my career. It’s not all our films that are being made. That’s what growth is about.”
