Dharmendra Opens Up About Kissing Scene With Shabana Azmi In RRKPK: 'There Is No Age For Romance'

Besides the romance and drama in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, what also caught audiences attention was a kiss between veteran actors Shabana Azmi and Dharmendra.

New Delhi: 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani' is currently in theatres. The film marks Karan Johar's return to the director's chair after a hiatus of 7 long years. The film stars Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt in lead roles. It also stars veteran stars like Dharmendra, Jaya Bachchan and Shabana Azmi in supporting roles. The film has majorly been receiving glowing reviews from audiences and critics alike.

Besides the romance and drama, what also caught audiences attention was a kiss between veteran actors Shabana Azmi and Dharmendra. In the scene in the film, Dharmendra sings 'Abhi Na Jao Chhod Kar' for Shabana Azmi's character and seals the reunion with a kiss.

In an interaction with News18, Dharmedra spoke about the kissing scene and said, "I am hearing that Shabana and I have surprised the audience with the kissing scene, and at the same time they have even applauded it. I think people weren’t expecting it and it came very suddenly which is why it created an impact. The last time I did a kissing scene was in Life In A Metro with Nafisa Ali and at that time too people had appreciated it."

"When Karan narrated the scene to us, I did not get excited (laughs). We understood it and I realised that it was something that the film required and wasn’t forcefully put in and I said I will do it. Also, I believe 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 I both did not feel any kind of awkwardness while doing it as it was very aesthetically shot," The 87-year-old added.

Dharmendra also praised Karan Johar for making a 'fantastic film' in the same interview and said, "It was my first collaboration with him and I thoroughly enjoyed it. All the actors have performed really well. Ranveer is terrific and Alia is such a natural actor. Shabana is great in the film and so is Jaya who I always refer to as my Guddi. The film has been released and I hope people go and watch the film in theaters and continue to shower their love."
