Priyanka Chopra refused to kiss Annu Kapoor

In a podcast, Annu Kapoor revealed that when he worked with Priyanka Chopra in 7 Khoon Maaf, she was a shy person. Hence, Vishal Bhardwaj told him that they are removing scenes where their characters will be kissing. Annu told Vishal that if PeeCee is uncomfortable, they should remove the scene. He told ANI, "But he said, ‘Why should I remove the scene? It’s important’. I’m a serious man; I don’t enjoy joking around on set. I got over with the combined shots. When it came to my solo shots, even assistants were impressed how I managed to perform them."

Further in this entertainment news, Annu Kapoor shared that it was obvious to him that Priyanka Chopra refused to kiss him on screen in the movie. He believes that she wouldn't have any objection if he had been the hero. " Here I am, no personality, no looks; that’s why she had a problem. This made her very upset; I don’t know why."

Back then, in 2011, the matter became a topic of discussion. At that time, Priyanka Chopra said in a media statement that if Annu Kapoor wants to do intimate scenes and pass such cheap comments, he should do those kind of films. PeeCee stated that such scenes were never a part of their film. " I don’t think he knew that his comments would upset me. But his statements have really upset me. It was very wrong of him to speak the way he did," the actress stated.
