First one to kiss on-screen?
She does not leave any chance to grab attention, and she did so when she made a statement, “I was the first actress in India to kiss on screen and wear a bikini.” But if we dig the past, then veteran actress Devika Rani was the first one to start with the trend. In 'Karma', the film which release in 1993, Devika Rani pulled off a four minute long kissing scene. Apart from that, it was Sharmila Tagore who rocked the bikini on silver screen back in the year 1967, in the film 'An Evening In Paris.'

When I go back to India which is so regressive for women, it’s depressing. I became a fallen woman and a superstar at the same time because there is a moral code... I did everything that I was not supposed to do. It can’t be symbolic... We (have) got to kiss on screen!”
