According to reports, Fawad Khan refused to film a liplock scene with Alia Bhatt in Shakun Batra's hit, 'Kapoor & Sons'. Even though the smooch was part of the script, Fawad put his foot down and refused to go ahead with the scene.
Talking about Fawad's discomfiture while filming the scene, Alia in interview with Deccan Chronicle said, "
There was a kiss in the film with Fawad. When we did the scene, it was decided that we would cheat-kiss. Still, every time I would go near his face, he would flinch. I had to keep reassuring him I wouldn’t compromise his chastity."
However this is not the first time that Fawad has refused to lock lips onscreen. In his debut Bollywood film, 'Khoobsurat' Fawad had refused to lock lips with Sonam. Back then when quizzed about this Fawad had said, "I didn’t want to hurt the sentiments of my core audience; I think I need to respect their feelings. A lot of my audience would be quite offended if I suddenly started losing my inhibitions."
When asked if he would be comfortable kissing onscreen in future, Fawad had said, "You never know. I never say never. I’d rather walk the unpredictable path. Besides, I’d never like to throw in something titillating, just to spike and spice up a film. I kind of like the idea of virgin romance to just show the couple’s feelings through words and gestures, and then leave the rest to the audiences’ imagination."
