Crime And Confessions: Ankit Bathla Reveals What Made Him Say Yes To Kiss On-Screen For The First Time For Altbalaji’s Murder Mystery Anthology
Ankit Bathla is a part of the segment called Not in Mood for Love in the anthology series, which comprises five different stories. The story of the segment revolves around the post-Independence era.
TV actor Ankit Bathla who is currently seen in ALTBalaji’s murder mystery Crimes and Confessions made his confession! He confessed to how nervous he was while performing the kissing scene in the recently launched show. Furthermore, Ankit who has been part of several shows including Naagin 4 also revealed that this is the first time he has kissed on-screen which he had consciously refrained in all these years. However, he didn’t shy away from doing the same for Crimes and Confessions because of its need in the script.
When asked about his thoughts on kissing on-screen for the first time, Ankit quipped, “Firstly let’s be clear about one thing, it was my first on-screen kiss. And not first kiss!” He laughed and continued, “I was of course very nervous. I wanted to make it look really nice and make sure that it does not come across as cheesy at the same time. It is an intimate moment between two people who are in love. So I had to make sure that there is a fine line and I don’t cross it. Apart from that, it involved all the regular preparations that you do even when you go on a date, which is to make sure you have your mouth wash, perfume on, and you smell good. Also, a lot of credit goes to Ankita (my co-actor) because she is a terrific actor. It is very important for your co-actor to be that sensible and for the two of you to be clear about your comfort zones. And again, Sachin Khot has made every scene look so beautiful.”
