Television is no more about saas-bahu and rona dhona. It is all about breaking barriers and taboos. Naagins, daayans and other content that was not considered suitable for the audience, is finding its way onto the television screens in the name of experimenting and surprisingly, it is being welcomed. Such was the case with kissing scenes on television.

Both the actors shot to instant fame as Randhir and Sanyukta with Channel V’s youth show Sadda Haq. With some really amazing chemistry on-screen, the duo had not one, but three kisses on the show- one was a hate kiss, the second was when Randhir wanted to prove to Sanyukta that they still had chemistry between them and the third one was what their fans wanted, a kiss of pure love.
Karan Kundrra and Saanvi Talwar in Yeh Kahaan Aa Gaye Hum
The lip lock between leads Karan Kundraa and Saanvi Talwar turned into a controversy when the latter slapped Karan. It so happened that the scene required Karan to kiss her, and Saanvi was to slap him as reciprocation. However, Karan began kissing Saanvi before his cue and this led to the actress slapping him hard, accidentally. However, Karan did not take this kindly and slapped Saanvi back. While the duo did sort out their differences subsequently, this controversy sure gave all the attention to the show.

Sony TV’s Reporters, though did not fail to strike a strong chord with the viewers, its promo where Rajeev Khandelwal grabs Kritika Kamra and kisses her, created quite the stir.

The former then goes back to the audience and explains his point.
Roopal Tyagi and Ankit Gera in Sapne Suhane Ladakpan Ke
Another show that took inspiration from Bade Acche Lagte Hai was Zee TV’s Sapne Suhane Ladakpan Ke. The show that revolved around the relationship between two cousin sisters, showcased a lip-lock between its lead actors between Ankit Gera and Roopal Tyagi. The scene happens when Mayank (Ankit Gera) comes to a very vulnerable Gunjan (Roopal Tyagi) and tries to make her feel better, tells her that she is the most-good looking girl and kisses her.
Madhura Naik and Asma Badar in MTV Big F
