Shabana on the kissing scene
Last year, in an interview with Zoom, talking about the kiss, Shabana Azmi had said, “I never thought it would create such a fuss! People are laughing and cheering when we do the kiss. While shooting it was never an issue. It is true that I haven’t kissed much on screen before. But who wouldn’t want to kiss a man as handsome as Dharmendra?”
Shabana had also shared husband-lyricist Javed Akhtar’s reaction to her onscreen kiss with Dharmendra. She said, “Oh he was not bothered. But what bothered him was my rowdy behaviour. Throughout the film I was applauding, whistling, cheering and shouting. He was like, ‘I don’t know this woman sitting next to me.’ I went insane with excitement.”
