Lust Stories 2 actor Neena Gupta, in a candid revelation, opened up about her sleepless night after filming her very first on-screen kissing scene. Neena is set to captivate audiences in Netflix’s tantalizing anthology, Lust Stories 2.
Reflecting on her experience, Neena recalled shooting the lip-lock in Dilip Dhawan’s Dillagi and the aftermath that followed. In an interview with Instant Bollywood, she shared, “Many years ago, I participated in a TV serial with Dilip Dhawan, which featured the first-ever lip-to-lip kissing scene on Indian television. I couldn’t sleep all night. Although he was good-looking, it wasn’t like we were close friends. We were acquaintances. Physically and mentally, I wasn’t prepared, and I felt incredibly tense. However, I convinced myself to go through with it.”
Neena Gupta further explained, “Just as some people struggle with comedy or shedding tears on camera, this was a challenge for me. I pushed myself to overcome it. After the scene ended, I immediately rinsed my mouth with Dettol. It was incredibly difficult to kiss someone I barely knew.”
