The
shocking
revelation
by
Tamil
actress
Rekha
about
the
unplanned
kiss
by
Ulaganayagan
Kamal
Haasan
in
K.
Balachander's
1986
film
Punnagai
Mannan,
has
become
a
topic
of
debate
on
social
media.
Netizens
are
demanding
Kamal
Haasan
to
apologise
for
kissing
the
actress
in
a
scene
without
her
consent
when
she
was
just
16.
Speaking
about
the
kiss,
Rekha
told
The
News
Minute,
"I've
said
this
a
hundred
times.
They
shot
the
scene
without
me
knowing
about
it.
People
ask
me
the
same
question
and
I'm
fed
up
of
answering
it." She
said
that
the
kiss
added
some
extra
emotions
to
the
film.
Talking
about
the
entire
incident
of
the
unplanned
kissing
scene,
Rekha
said,
"The
kiss
didn't
look
ugly
or
aggressive
on-screen.
There
was
a
need
for
it,
but
I
was
a
very
young
girl
and
I
didn't
know
about
it.
He
(director
K
Balachander)
said,
'Kamal,
close
your
eyes!
You
remember
what
I
told
you,
right?' and
Kamal
said
that
he
did.
Then
we
had
to
jump
when
he
said
1,
2,
3...
we
kissed
and
then
jumped.
It
was
only
when
I
watched
it
in
theatres
that
I
realised
it
had
such
a
huge
impact."
"They
continued
after
that
shot
also,
we
had
a
location
shift.
Suresh
Krissna
and
Vasanth
were
the
associate
directors,
and
I
told
them
I
wasn't
informed
about
the
kiss
and
that
I
wouldn't
have
agreed
to
it.
But
they
told
me
to
think
of
it
as
a
big
king
kissing
a
small
child.
They
told
me
it
wouldn't
be
passed
by
the
Censor.
I
asked
them
what
the
Censor
was!,"
she
added.
What
was
even
more
shocking
was
that
Kamal
Haasan
was
aware
of
this
unplanned
kiss.
"Only
he
and
the
unit
that
was
there
can
confirm
what
I've
said.
Balachander
sir
is
no
more.
Only
those
who
were
there
at
the
shoot
know
that
the
kiss
happened
without
my
consent,"
said
Rekha.
According
to
TNM,
Kamal
Haasan
and
Balachander
didn't
apologise
to
her
after
the
kissing
scene.
"Why
would
they
apologise?
The
film
was
a
superhit!
I
got
many
films
after
that,
too,
with
Ramarajan
and
Ilaiyaraaja,
like
'Namma
Ooru
Pattukaran'.
We
were
all
so
busy
in
those
days,
going
from
one
schedule
to
another," Rekha
said.
Well,
social
media
users
are
demanding
Kamal
Haasan
to
apologise
to
Rekha
for
kissing
her
without
consent.
Kamal
Haasan
is
yet
to
comment
on
Rekha's
revelations.
