Bollywood has always used romance and intimacy to add emotion to its stories. In some films, however, behind-the-scenes moments during such scenes became a talking point of their own. From playful mistakes to awkward filming moments, these incidents show how challenging it can be to shoot intimate sequences on set.
Nargis Fakhri and Emraan Hashmi
In Azhar, Emraan Hashmi played cricketer Mohammad Azharuddin, while Nargis Fakhri portrayed Sangeeta Bijlani. One kissing scene between the two became especially memorable because, according to reports, Nargis kept kissing Emraan even after the director called cut. She reportedly joked around with him on set and even left her lipstick mark on his lips, making the crew laugh at the light-hearted moment.
Tiger Shroff and Jacqueline Fernandez
Tiger Shroff and Jacqueline Fernandez shared sizzling chemistry in A Flying Jatt, directed by Remo D’Souza. Their kissing scene reportedly did not go exactly as planned, since the director had asked them to move closer for the shot and then pull away. Instead, the two stayed in the moment longer than expected. Their chemistry was strong enough that the final take was used in the film.
Ruslaan Mumtaz and Chetana Pandey
Ruslaan Mumtaz and Chetana Pandey shared a romantic sequence in I Don’t Luv U. During the scene, reports suggested that Ruslaan accidentally unzipped Chetana’s dress while filming the intense kiss. He later apologized to her, and the incident became one of the most discussed behind-the-scenes moments from the film.
Sidharth Malhotra and Jacqueline Fernandez
Sidharth Malhotra and Jacqueline Fernandez created headlines with their bold chemistry in A Gentleman. The film included a kissing sequence and an intimate bed scene that also sparked dating rumours. According to reports, the two actors got so deeply involved in the performance that they did not immediately stop even after the directors called cut.
Vinod Khanna and Madhuri Dixit
The film Dayavan is still remembered for the intense chemistry between Vinod Khanna and Madhuri Dixit. Their kissing scene became one of the most talked-about moments in Indian cinema. Reports at the time claimed that Vinod Khanna accidentally bit Madhuri Dixit’s lips during the take, making the scene even more unforgettable for audiences.
Ranbir Kapoor and Evelyn Sharma
In Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Ranbir Kapoor and Evelyn Sharma shared a brief but memorable intimate sequence during a hiking scene. Reports say the two continued the shot even after director Ayan Mukerji shouted cut. The scene did not make it into the final film, but it remains an interesting behind-the-scenes detail from a much-loved movie.
