Talking about her experience of shooting the kissing scene, she expressed how she never thought people would laugh and cheer for the older characters and their reunion. While she hasn’t kissed much on-screen before, she went on to question, “Who wouldn’t want to kiss a man as handsome as Dharmendra?” ALSO READ: Kangana Ranaut Comes Out In Support Of Shabana Azmi After She Questioned People Demanding A Ban On ‘The Kerala Story’
The actress, who essays the role of Jamini, Alia Bhatt’s grandmother, also opened up about her husband Javed Akhtar’s reaction to her on-screen kiss. She told the media publication that while he wasn’t bothered seeing his wife kiss on-screen, her “rowdy behaviour” is what bothered him. “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,” she said.
Talking about the romantic-drama, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani follows the journey of Rocky Randhawa and Rani Chatterjee, who hail from contrasting family backgrounds. In order to get married they come up with a plan to stay with each others’ families so that they can get to know each other better. The movie marks the directorial comeback of Karan Johar and stars Jaya Bachchan, Dharmendra, Shabana Azmi and many more in pivotal roles.
