Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, which hit the silver screens in 2023, was one of the talked-about movies of that year. It grabbed eyeballs for breaking stereotypical old age romance on the big screens. The movie showed a blooming yet old love story of Dharmendra and Shabana Azmi’s characters. The veteran actors also had a lip lock scene in the movie, which made headlines for all the good reasons. Dharmendra recently talked about the kissing scene with Azmi and stated that there is no age for romance.

In an interview with ANI, Dharmendra recalled a hilarious conversation with Ranveer Singh and said, “Maine Ranveer ko bola, Ranveer, Rocky aur Rani ki prem kahani me, tune to bohot kisses ki hain, or meri ek hi kiss ne hila dala logo ko. In a way, he (Dharmendra’s character in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani) was like Devdas, the Devdas who wandered in alcohol, with no memory of anything, and then he dies… It’s tragic, and it was a good story.”

Earlier, in an interview with News18, Dharmendra talked about the kissing scene in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. He then 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.”

“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,” the veteran actor added.
