Shabana Azmi Says Tabu Teases Her About Viral Kiss Scene With Dharmendra: 'She Says Aapki Age Ki...'

Shabana Azmi revealed her niece, actress Tabu teased her for the kiss scene in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. For the unversed, Shabana and Dharmendra had everyone talking when they shared a kiss on the big screen. The veteran actors played star crossed lovers in Karan Johar’s Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. Their on-screen chemistry had everyone talking and their kiss did drop some jaws as well.

In a new interview, Shabana revealed that Tabu is naughty and couldn’t stop teasing her. “Tabu jo meri niece hai, itni shaitaan hai. Wo kehti hai ‘Aapne hilake rakh diya industry ko. Ab sab aapki age ki ladkiyaan keh rahi hai ke kiss hogi toh hum karenge (Tabu is so naughty, she teases me that I created a huge stir within the industry. Now all the actresses of your age are saying we would do the film if there’s a kiss in it),'” she told Zoom TV.

Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani released last year. The film was headlined by Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt. The film marked Dharmendra’s comeback on the big screen after a long break. He was paired with Jaya Bachchan and Shabana Azmi. Last year, Shabana revealed Javed Akhtar’s reaction to the kiss as well.

Speaking with Zoom, Shabana said, “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?”

Shabana further said that Javed Akhtar was not “bothered” about her kiss with Dharmendra. “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.”
