Barbara asked me to kiss on the lips, Hrithik Roshan There is a sequence in 'Kites' where the characters played by Hrithik and Barbara jump
from a building. Director Anurag Basu decided to include a kiss between the two before
they do the stunt. Though Hrithik gave Barbara a peck on her cheek, she asked for a
smooch. But there was a reason behind it. "We were both supposed to jump off from a
rooftop at an impossible height. Before we did so our director Anurag Basu suggested to
kiss Barbara, since we were doing something death-defying and dangerous and potentially
lethal. I reached out and kissed her on the cheeks," Hrithik is quoted as saying in a news
report.
However, Barbara thought a peck on the cheeks would not look good enough in the scene.
"Barbara turned around to ask why I had kissed her on the cheek. 'Given the same
situation with your real-life wife, Suzanne, would you kiss her on the cheek?' I was floored
by her logic," said Hrithik. Then Hrithik did what was right. He kissed her on the lips.
"And this time I kissed her the way real-life couples would in the situation. On the lips,"
said Hrithik. Hrithik added that the kissing scene was done so tastefully, that he could
watch it with his family and parents. "In fact, I'd be more than happy and completely
comfortable watching those kissing scenes with my wife, son and parents when the film is
released," Hrithik said. |
