Jannat Zubair Rahmani,16-Year-Old Asked to Kiss in TV Serial: Tu Aashiqui Actress Says 'Won't Get Intimate on Screen'
The 16-year-old female lead Jannat Zubair Rahmani refused to do intimate scenes.
Tu Aashiqui has been in the controversy lately because of the ‘kissing scenes’ into it. The 16-year-old female lead Jannat Zubair Rahmani refused to do intimate scenes. However, she, along with her parents denied doing the same even if she had to quit the soap. After the reports of finding a replacement for Jannat, it is now confirmed that she is continuing with the show on her own terms and conditions. The teen diva is underage and does not fit into doing intimate scenes, said her parents and hence demanded to the makers to consider the age. The actress herself now came out to tell her take on the whole fiasco.
Talking about the whole controversy, Jannat told TOI, “The makers have finally agreed to our terms and conditions and I am happy. They have agreed that I won’t be performing any intimate scenes in the future. I am relieved with the decision as a lot of things have happened in the last two weeks. All this while, I was okay with shooting a kiss on hand or forehead but there are certain things that don't suit my age and I am not comfortable doing.”
Everyone gets pressurized as nobody wants to mess up with the makers of the show, but I believe if you are not comfortable doing certain things, you should not bow down in front of anyone. For me, my dignity is most important and for that even if I have to leave a show or get less work, it doesn’t matter. I have seen many a time other actress keeps quiet thinking, if they speak, they will be thrown out of the show. But it is important to hold on to your ground and put your foot down, she added.
The Phulwa actress also added that she thought that her audience would be shocked to see her doing the intimate scenes on screen at this age. Now that the makers have accepted and finally remembered the age of the lead girl of their serial, we hope they make further scenes accordingly!
