News Topical, Digital Desk : Whenever kissing or intimate scenes are discussed in the film industry, they often spark controversy. With the rise of OTT platforms, there's no hesitation in filming such scenes these days. However, there was a time when kissing scenes were considered a taboo. 

Today, we're going to tell you about a controversial 5-minute-long kissing scene from a film released 55 years ago, in which the actor continued to kiss the actress without her knowledge. Let's find out which two actors were involved in that scene. 

Bollywood's controversial kissing scene

In the heyday of Hindi cinema, whenever two actors were shown close to each other during romantic scenes, a flower or a pair of swans would appear. However, even during that era, there were some films that openly depicted kissing scenes. This list includes the film Anjaana Safar, which was shot 55 years ago. Actress Rekha and actor Biswajit Chatterjee played lead roles in this movie.

It's common to rehearse a scene before filming, but that wasn't the case with this movie's kissing scene. This controversial kissing scene is mentioned in Rekha's biopic.

As soon as director Raja Nawade said action for this kissing scene, Biswajeet started kissing Rekha on her lips. After 5 minutes, when he said cut, the actor stopped and after the scene, Rekha started crying. 

There was no planning for the scene.

It is also said that Rekha was not informed or planned in advance about this kissing scene. This is why this liplock scene, filmed between Rekha and Biswajit Chatterjee, remains one of Bollywood's most controversial kissing scenes. It should be noted that "Anjaana Safar" was held up for 10 years before being approved by the censor board. Later, after its title was changed, it was released.
