Deepika
Padukone
has
kissed
Saif
Ali
Khan
on
screen.
But
her
new
co-star
Neil
Nitin
Mukesh
was
a
first
time
kisser
on
camera
till
last
week
when
Neil
had
no
choice
but
to
succumb
to
a
torrid
kissing
sequence
with
Deepika.
Katrina
Kaif
and
Neil
Nitin
Mukesh
have
one
thing
in
common.
They
both
follow
a
no-kiss
clause.
Katrina
broke
her
self-imposed
bow
of
smooch-celibacy
in
New
York.
Now
the
conservative
Neil
Nitin
Mukesh
has
pulled
out
the
plug
on
his
no-kissing
clause.
For
Yashraj
Films
Lafangey
Parindey
Neil
was
virtually
forced
to
do
a
long
lingering
kissing
scene
with
Deepika
Padukone.
Director
Pradeep
Sarkar
and
Deepika
had
to
use
every
possible
power
of
persuasion
before
Neil
abandoned
his
chastity
vow.
Says
a
source
very
close
to
the
project,
“At
first,
Neil
was
totally
against
the
kiss
with
Deepika.
Barring
Katrina
in
New
York
with
whom
he
had
no
opportunity
for
a
kiss,
Neil
has
refused
to
kiss
in
all
his
films.
In
fact,
his
first
director
Sriram
Raghavan
threw
a
fit
when
Neil
refused
to
kiss
Rimi
Sen.
In
his
second
film
Tera
Kya
Hoga
Johnny
director
Sudhir
Mishra
insisted
Neil
to
kiss
Shahana
Goswami.
Neil
refused.
Even
in
Jail
where
there
was
a
love-making
scene
with
Mugda
Godse
Neil
refused
to
kiss".
Conservative
to
the
core
Neil
plunged
into
his
first
kiss
only
after
the
director
assured
him
that
the
romantic
relationship
needed
a
culmination.
Says
the
source,
“Pradeep
persuaded
Neil
and
he
finally
saw
his
director"s
point
of
view.
But
Neil
was
nervous.
Deepika
had
kissed
before
on
screen.
Not
Neil.
He
first
suggested
a
peck.
But
he
was
finally
persuaded
to
do
a
long
torrid
smooch
comparable
in
intensity
and
duration
with
Aamir
Khan
and
Karisma
Kapoor"s
kiss
in
Raja
Hindustani".
When
contracted
Neil
said,
“I
can"t
talk
about
this.
But
yes
we"ve
gone
completely
by
the
requirements
of
the
script.
And
Lafangey
Parindey
is
my
first
love
story".
