Mumbai: As Bollywood increasingly adopts bold scenes and on-screen kisses similar to Hollywood, such sequences sometimes spark controversy and legal issues. A recent report by Indian media highlighted a controversy involving Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, following a kiss scene with Hrithik Roshan in the film Dhoom 2.
The brief two-second kiss scene in Dhoom 2 triggered a massive uproar in India. The scene led to public criticism and even legal notices, putting Aishwarya in a difficult position.
Reacting to the backlash, Aishwarya expressed her surprise at the intense response. She said, “I am just an actress doing my job, but I had to answer for a two-second scene in a three-hour film.” She emphasized that the scene was purely in the context of her character and considered the reaction to be unnecessary.
The controversy arose when viewers criticized the kiss, claiming it was against Indian cultural values. However, Aishwarya later appeared in bold scenes in films like Shabd and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, but the Dhoom 2 kiss remains the most contentious moment of her career.
Additionally, Aishwarya has recently been in the news regarding rumors about her personal life. Speculation about her separation from husband Abhishek Bachchan has been circulating on social media and Indian news. However, Abhishek has dismissed these rumors, stating that there are no issues in their marriage. Aishwarya has remained silent on the matter and has not publicly commented on the speculation.
