Talking about the kiss, Shabana Azmi told Zoom, “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?”

When asked about Javed's reaction to it, she said, “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.”

Karan Johar on the kiss scene

Earlier, Karan also confirmed that filming the kiss scene was no big deal on the sets. He told Film Companion in an interview, “Shabana ji is a trooper. She is a master actor, she is a ‘baap’ actor as they say. There was no debate, no question. Dharam ji was like, ‘haan theek hai karna hai, fine (its okay, it is to be done, fine)’. Two great veterans, performing with absolute aplomb, no questions asked. It was glorious to see them.”

Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani stars Ranveer Singh as Rocky Randhawa, Alia Bhatt as Rani Chatterjee and Jaya Bachchan is in the role of Dharmendra's wife Dhanalakshmi Randhawa. The film opened well in theatres and has collected ₹60 crore in five days of its release.
