Esha Deol shares her reaction to Dharmendra's on-screen kiss in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani; says, “Papa, by nature, is very romantic”

Veteran actors Dharmendra and Shabana Azmi's kissing scene in Karan Johar's latest film Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani has caught the audience by surprise. The scene, in which the two star-crossed lovers meet after years of separation, has struck a chord with the audience. Now Esha Deol, daughter of Dharmendra reacted to the scene.

Talking to Zoom, Esha said, “There is a barrier or age for love or kissing—who said so? He is the coolest! He is so handsome. Papa, by nature, is very romantic; he will do his shayari and everything. He has always been that way. Shabana Ji is fantastic, and I have a huge soft spot for Jaya Aunty. Karan Johar is amazing; it was shot beautifully, and they are all professional actors.”

Esha also addressed a query about whether she viewed the film from the perspective of being Dharmendra's daughter or as a member of the audience. She said, “No! A lot of portions I couldn't watch like an audience member because I am his daughter; there were a lot of emotional scenes, and it wasn't easy, but I wanted to watch the film.”

Earlier, in an interview with News18, Dharmendra spoke about the kissing scene and said, “I am hearing that Shabana, and I have surprised the audience with the kissing scene, and at the same time they have even applauded it. I think people weren't expecting it and it came very suddenly which is why it created an impact. The last time I did a kissing scene was in Life In A Metro with Nafisa Ali and at that time too people had appreciated it.”

The veteran actor further added, “When Karan narrated the scene to us, I did not get excited (laughs). We understood it and I realised that it was something that the film required and wasn't forcefully put in and I said I will do it. Also, I believe there is no age for romance. Age is just a number and two people irrespective of age will show their love for each other by kissing. Shabana and I both did not feel any kind of awkwardness while doing it as it was very aesthetically shot.”

For the unversed, Esha Deol is Dharmendra's daughter from his second marriage with the veteran actress Hema Malini. Prior to his marriage to Bollywood's Dream Girl, Dharmendra was united with Prakash Kaur, with whom he shares two sons, Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol.
