As a prelude to the Valentine's Day, which is just two days ahead, the world over is celebrating the Kiss Day today. And since there is no one in the world who doesn't love the touch and the caress of the lips, we decided to get on the bandwagon as well and decided to do a special feature on this occasion with a Bollywood tadka. But since we get to see the usual best and worst kisses, we decided to change things and look out some kisses in recent movies that surprised us, as we never expected those liplocks to happen!
Like for example, in the recent PadMan (tread with caution...SPOILERS ahead), there is a kiss between Sonam Kapoor and Akshay Kumar that came out of nowhere. But since it was a cheat kiss, we decided to exclude from our list. So without much ado, here are five onscreen kisses in recent movies that jolted us.
Shah Rukh Khan - Anushka Sharma
Movie: Jab Harry Met Sejal
Shah Rukh Khan has usually shied away from kissing scenes, though he made an exception for Jab Tak Hai Jaan, where he locked lips thrice with Katrina Kaif. And when we thought that this would be the last time we would see him do so, SRK surprised us again by kissing Anushka Sharma in the climax of the tepid Jab Harry Met Sejal.
Varun Sharma - Richa Chadha
Movie: Fukrey Returns
Did anyone expect Choocha to get lucky with Bholi Punjaban? Not us, though! But Fukrey Returns sprung a surprise at us when it gave a happy ending to his love story as they sealed the deal with a kiss.
Ileana D'Cruz - Vidyut Jammwal
Movie: Baadshaho
We also knew that there was a scorching kissing scene between Ajay Devgn and Ileana thanks to the trailers. But it was a shocker to see Ileana lock lips with Vidyut in the movie, for what was one of the best twists in this Milan Luthria heist thriller. Imagine even Bollywood's serial kisser, Emraan Hashmi, got upstaged!
Varun Dhawan - Upasna Singh
Movie: Judwaa 2
Now, thanks to the promos, we know that there are enough kissing scenes between Varun Dhawan and both his leading ladies, Jacqueline Fernandez and Taapsee Pannu. But did anyone see that kiss between Varun and Upasna Singh, who plays Taapsee's mom, coming? You can either call it hilarious or cringe-worthy, but it was damn hell of a surprise!
Prabhas - Anushka Shetty
Movie: Baahubali 2
Trust SS Rajamouli to add a kissing scene between his lead stars in what was India's biggest movie, that was bound to attract a lot of family audiences, and get away with it!
