Ranbir Kapoor planted a make-believe kiss on his Barfi! director's lips recently. Veena Malik cosied up along with her Daal Mein Kuch Kaala Hai director Hemant Madhukar. Rani Mukherji and Vidya Balan also faked a liplock during Nobody Killed Jessica promotions. While all this happens, we wonder how film promotions are becoming bolder with each passing day.
Here's listing probably the most sensational fake kisses during movie promotions:
Ranbir Kapoor and Anurag Basu: Ranbir Kapoor shocked media on the promotion of Barfi! by kissing director Anurag Basu. When Ranbir Kapoor is asked how comfortable he was while kissing his Barfi! co-star Ileana D'Souza, the actor grabbed director Anurag Basu and faked a liplock.
Ranbir said that as an actor, one has to do one’s job ... if you happen to believe within the scene, it's important to do it.
Veena Malik and Hemant Madhukar: Veena Malik's intimate pictures with filmmaker Hemant Madhukar got leaked on the web. While the Pakistani actor got embroiled in another controversy, it was not difficult to guess that it was a publicity stunt for his or her upcoming film Mumbai 125km.
Sara Khan and Pooja Bose: Sara publish the photograph of her liplock with actor Pooja Bose as her BlackBerry display picture. But within hours, she took it off. It was reportedly for the promotion of TV serial Tujh Sang Preet Lagai Sajna.
When contacted, Sara denied it outright, saying, “It’s not me within the photograph.”
Sushmita Sen and Randeep Hooda: Actor Randeep Hooda was majorly upset after the production house in their film Karma, Confessions and Holi released pictures of him kissing Sushmita Sen.
"I'm disgusted by the producers. Surely they have more to draw the general public to the theatres than a kiss between two actors? By flashing one scene, they're just being cheap and undignified of their promotion. Is also they want a less cheesy publicity machinery," Randeep had told IANS.
Veena Malik and Bobby Darling: At a surprise celebration thrown for her in Mumbai, actor Veena Malik managed to surprise others as she locked lips with actor Bobby Darling. Veena was photographed on the party on Sunday, being kissed by Bobby, her co-star in her film, Daal Mein Kucch Kaala Hai. “Veena and that i share an excellent relationship. I REALLY LIKE her. We greet one another like this each time. Why do people have an issue with our way of greeting each other?” says Bobby.
Rani Mukherji and Vidya Balan: To elucidate rumours about their catfight, Rani Mukherji and Vidya Balan did a ridicule kiss for the media.
Rani: So what concerning the rumours that we had problems?
Vidya: Well lovers' tiff happen, I AM GETTING upset, you placate me, you get upset, and that i placate you typically. flowers work.
Ranbir Kapoor and Nargis Fakhri: Ranbir Kapoor and Nargis Fakhri locked lips on the rockstar concert.
"The actors seemed so lost in one another during their performance that it was almost as though they did not care they were at a live concert. The liplock followed," an eyewitness said.
Veena Malik and Shakti Kapoor: Shakti Kapoor kissed his co-star Veena Malik on her cheek on the music launch in their upcoming Bollywood film Daal Mein Kuch Kaala Hai! in Mumbai.
