Sanvikaa and Jitendra Kumar's chemistry has emerged as a talking point for Panchayat, the popular rural drama that is gaining popularity with viewers. However, behind the scenes of Season 4 of Panchayat, the actor who plays Rinki made a personal choice that altered a crucial scene in the story. Sanvikaa declined a kissing scene with co-star Jitendra. Yes, you read that right!

Sanvikaa revealed in an interview with Just Too Filmy that she was initially informed about a kiss between her character Rinki and Jitendra Kumar’s Sachiv ji. "In the beginning, no one said anything when the narration was done. But then director Akshat talked to me. He told that in this season we have inserted a scene where Sachiv ji and Rinki will kiss. Earlier the scene was different. Both of them are in the car, she falls down and then they kiss," she said.

Sanvikaa, however, turned it down due to personal discomfort and concern over the show’s family audience. The makers, respecting her decision, revised the script and replaced the scene with another sequence. She added, "So I said give me two days to think whether I am comfortable doing it or not. Then I thought that Panchayat has all kinds of audiences, but mostly family people. I was worried about how they would react, and I was also not comfortable. So I refused at that time. But when we were shooting, they removed that scene, but they inserted the tank scene."

Sanvikaa added, "They said that we will not shoot it in a vulgar way. But when we were shooting, it felt awkward. I became very uncomfortable, but Jeetu (Jitendra Kumar) is a very nice person. He makes you feel comfortable."
