Meanwhile, Dharmendra further adds that he has beem hearing that he and Shabana have surprised the audience with the kissing scene, and at the same time they have even applauded it. He assumes that people weren’t expecting it and it came very suddenly which is why it created an impact. The last time he did a kissing scene was in Life In A Metro with Nafisa Ali and at that time too people had appreciated it.
He added that When Karan narrated the scene to him and Shabana, he did not get excited (laughs). They understood it and he realised that it was something that the film required and wasn’t forcefully put in and he said he will do it. Also, he believed there is no age for romance. Age is just a number and two people irrespective of age will show their love for each other by kissing. Shabana and he both did not feel any kind of awkwardness while doing it as it was very aesthetically shot.
