Amidst the controversy, let us take a look into the 5 top controversial kisses in the history of Indian cinema.
SRK and Katrina Kaif: The King of Romance broke his no-kissing policy for Katrina Kaif in Jab Tak Hain Jaan. The steamy kissing scene between SRK and Katrina raised quite a few eyebrows. However, SRK later clarified that he was extremely awkward, but then Yash Chopra, and Aditya Chopra forced him and even paid him for it.
Karisma Kapoor & Aamir Khan: The blockbuster movie ‘Raja Hindustani’ made headlines back in the 90s for the passionate kissing scene between Karisma and Aamir, which is still considered one of the longest on-screen lip-locks in Bollywood.
Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai: The infamous kissing scene between Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai in Dhoom 2 allegedly did not go well with the Bachchans. There were reports that Big B and Jaya Bachchan weren’t too happy with Aish for the kissing scene. Interestingly, Abhishek Bachchan was also a part of the movie.
Dharmendra and Shabana Azmi: Veteran actor Dharmendra and Shabana Azmi’s on-screen kiss in Karan Johar’s recently released film ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’ has been one of the most-discussed aspects in the film. However, Dharmendra and Shabana both admitted that they did not feel any kind of awkwardness while doing it as it was very aesthetically shot.
Madhuri Dixit and Vinod Khanna: The lip-lock between Madhuri and Vinod Khanna is still today considered one of the hottest kisses in the history of the film industry.
