Fawad Khan refused to kiss her in ‘Kapoor & Sons’, reveals Alia Bhatt

The audience in Pakistani entertainment industry are far more conservative and reserved than the Indian audience; and Pakistani artistes never deny this. Actor Fawad Khan, who enjoys almost as much fan following in India as in his own country, has carefully stayed away from doing intimate or bold sequences that might not go down well with people in Pakistan.

One such instance was when a particular scene in ‘Kapoor & Sons’ demanded him to kiss co-star Alia Bhatt, and he wanted to dodge it!

Alia, however, is a co-operating person to work with. She promised Fawad she would only cheat-kiss him. But it still would freak him out!

“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,” Alia told a leading daily.

Fawad, earlier, had also refused to kiss Sonam Kapoor in his Bollywood debut ‘Khubsoorat’ as he feared that dropping all inhibitions would have a negative impact on his popularity in Pakistan.
