From SRK-PeeCee to Jackie-Zeenat: 5 controversial celeb clicks that became big sensations in Bollywood

Bollywood stars keep on doing something purposely or incidentally that attract attention. From their affairs, tiffs, fights and cold wars, whenever these celebrities are clicked in uncomfortable, suspicious or compromising situations a storm takes place among their fandoms. While today, due to social media platforms, such clicks and news reach very fast and the controversies die down as quickly as they rise.

Decades earlier it took some time for the controversial clicks to reach the masses and when they did they were discussed for months together in gossip columns keeping the stars and celebrities in the limelight for a very long time.

Jackie Shroff- Zeenat Aman lip kiss

During the 80s and 90s lip kiss was not a common thing in Bollywood. Rather romance was limited to a bit of necking and tight hugs with more romantic songs demanding a kiss on the cheeks. That is why a storm was triggered when Jackie Shroff and Zeenat Aman’s photograph kissing each other on the lips was put on the cover page of Stardust.

It was quite a bold kiss considering the fact that even in the movies such kisses were very rare during those days.

Pooja Bhatt, Mahesh Bhatt lip kiss

This was yet another or rather one of the most controversial clicks from the 90s when Stardust carried the duo of father and daughter- Pooja Bhatt and Mahesh Bhatt kissing each other on the lip on its cover page. To date, Mahesh Bhatt is slammed for his actions and this click keeps on coming up whenever there is a mention of Mahesh Bhatt and his controversies.

But two clicks of PeeCee and SRK has outlived the time and continues to surface whenever gossip mills revisit their tales of their rumoured affair.

One is when Shah Rukh Khan kept on walking holding Priyanka Chopra’s hand amid tight security giving a vibe that the two were a couple and another one is the Don co-stars sharing a moment right in front of Gauri.

But there have been many instances where Junior Bachchan has been seen bonding with the Umrao Jaan actress. One particular click that once grabbed huge attention was when Rekha lovingly talked with the Dasvi actor in the presence of Amitabh Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

This click in particular had many Bollywood fans wondering exactly what Karisma Kapoor and Akshay Khanna were intending to do as it did look quite vulgar. Although the expressions of these two stars are casual and it seems all in fun. What appears to be a vulgar click may be because it was photographed or presented in a wrong way but even then it caused quite a controversy when it first came in a leading magazine.
