Dharmendra on kissing Shabana Azmi in 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani': 'My one kiss has made so much noise'

The legendary actor Dharmendra graced singer Kumar Sanu’s Durga Pandal recently and was all smiles for the media. Talking about the Bengali culture and his love for them, the star said, “I have worked in Bengali films and I love Bengalis. Festivals bring people closer and spread love.”

When asked about his kissing scene with Shabana Azmi in Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, he stated, “My grandson has kissed several times on screen. Mere ek kiss ka shor ho gaya hai (my single kiss ended up making so much noise).”

Shabana Azmi on the kissing scene

‘Why is this so surprising?’ Shabana Azmi asked too on her kissing scene with Dharmendra in ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani‘. While speaking to PTI, she said, “I think the maximum comments that I’m getting are like, ‘Oh wow, we would have never imagined you in this kind of role. You’re not prepared for it in any way at all… But I am like ‘why is this so surprising’… An actor who has a strong woman image, why is it not possible that she can also be a romantic person? It’s not like strong women don’t have any romantic bones in their body.”

She added, “I think it’s the deliciousness of it that has taken people by surprise and they just adore it. It’s the younger generation that’s really doing all the clapping and cheering.”

On Javed Akhtar’s reaction

“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?” Azmi told Zoom.

Talking about her husband’s reaction, she added, “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.”
