I always wondered how actresses feel comfortable doing kissing scenes for their films with the co-actors. Well, it’s their job but they too must have some experiences to share, right? Ahead of the Netflix anthology series Lust Stories, actress Neena Gupta has shared one such experience that will make you say ‘Oh God’! In a recent interview, the actress recalled a funny incident about her first kiss for a TV show, and what she did after that.
Actresses doing bold scenes or getting physically intimate onscreen is still something that many viewers refuse to accept and term it with words like cheap or disgusting. Neena Gupta shared her experience from the time when she was doing a show back in the 90s. Of course, at that time, nobody was ready to see a kissing scene onscreen. In the interview, Neena Gupta expressed her hesitance about the first-ever-kissing scene for the show and how she talked herself out of it. The Lust Stories 2 star further added that she convinced herself for the scene thinking that an actor has to do many things for the camera and that was one of them.
However, Neena Gupta got so anxious after doing the kissing scene that she rinsed her mouth with Dettol which is an antiseptic liquid. The actress added that her co-actor was just an acquaintance and therefore the process of the kissing scene was more difficult for her. The incident was from the time when she was shooting for the TV show Dillagi with actor Dilip Dhawan, as per the interview with Inside Bollywood.
