00:00 Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani hit theatres recently and is making waves at the box office.
00:06 However, what grabbed everyone's attention was the lip lock between veteran actors Dharmendra
00:11 and Shabana Azmi.
00:13 The kiss between the two has surprised the fans.
00:17 Although it is not that the kiss scene was forcefully put into the film to grab attention,
00:21 it was written earlier.
00:23 While talking to leading newspaper, the writer of the film Ishita Moitra revealed that Karan
00:28 made sure that the kiss would be done in a dignified way.
00:32 She said, "People couldn't believe a kiss was coming.
00:35 The kiss was always there in the script.
00:37 Karan made sure that the kiss would be done in a very dignified way.
00:40 I don't think any of them had any issues."
00:44 Even Dharmendra opened up about the kiss, telling Online Portal, "I am hearing that
00:48 Shabana and I have surprised the audience with kissing scene.
00:52 And at the same time, they have even applauded it.
00:54 I think people weren't expecting it and it came very suddenly, which is why it created
00:59 an impact.
01:00 The last time I did a kiss scene was in A Life in a Metro with Nafisa Ali.
01:05 And at that time too, people had appreciated it.
01:07 When Karan narrated the scene to us, I did not get excited.
01:11 We understood it and I realized that it was something that the film required and wasn't
01:16 forcefully put in.
01:17 And I said I will do it.
01:18 Also, I believe there is no age for romance.
01:21 Age is just a number and two people, irrespective of age, will show their love for each other
01:26 by kissing.
01:27 Shabana and I both did not feel any kind of awkwardness while doing it as it was very
01:32 aesthetically short," he added.
01:35 Rocky aur Rani ki Prem Kahani also starred Alia Bhatt, Jaya Bachchan and Ranveer Singh
01:39 in lead roles.
