'There's No Age For Romance', Dharmendra On Kissing Shabana Azmi In Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani

Everyone is hailing Karan Johar's Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. He is back at what he does! Even Anurag Kashyap called the film the best so far from KJo. But the real stars of the film aren't Alia Bhatt and Ranveer Singh. Of course, they did a fabulous job. However, fans were surprised to see Dharmendra and Shabana Azmi's romantic chemistry in the movie, and they just cannot get over it.

What came as a surprise to fans was a kissing scene between Dharmendra and Shabana Azmi that everyone who has watched the movie is talking about.

Twitter

Was it difficult to shoot for the scene, the 87-year-old veteran actor said that there wasn't any kind of awkwardness.

The film is a hit majorly cuz of him tbh and the freshness of Dharmendra and Shabana Azmi bit. https://t.co/dgnoqYnwJ8

What was his reaction when Karan Johar told him about the kiss scene?

"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," he was quoted as saying by News18.

The Last 1 Hour, Damn... The Genius #KaranJohar ??
Hate him or love him, but nobody can make Family Drama movies like him.

The best part was also the bringing in of old songs, Shabana Azmi and Dharmendra s love.

There are several people who are also upset with the scene.

This is the reason people r detaching from Bullywood. They always show stuff against our culture & religion

Talking about that, the Sholay star said, "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."

Also, every scene with Dharmendra & Shabana shined. They showed why they are the veterans. The scene where they first meet is probably the best scene in the 1st half (which ofc KJo ruined later). They will make you cry where Jaya will make you laugh. https://t.co/9ye5vmsDBQ

Furthermore, he added, "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."

On Twitter as well, he clarified the buzz around his kiss scene.
