Dharmendra and Shabana Azmi, celebrated actors starring in Karan Johar’s latest film “Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani,” have garnered significant attention for their on-screen kissing scene. The movie has been praised not only for its entertainment value and emotional depth but also for the unexpected and impactful romantic moment shared by the veteran stars. Dharmendra recently shared insights about the scene in an interview with Network 18.
When Dharmendra was asked about the audience’s response to the surprising kissing scene, he commented, “It seems that the audience was taken aback by the kissing scene between Shabana and me, yet they have showered it with applause. The unexpected nature of the scene contributed to its impact. I recall a similar situation when I shared a kissing scene with Nafisa Ali in ‘Life In A Metro,’ and it received appreciation.”
