Shah Rukh Khan has always maintained that he won’t kiss on-screen, a rule he has stuck by through several films – but suddenly broke in Jab Tak Hai Jaan, when he kissed Katrina Kaif for a scene. Naturally, there’s been a lot of curiosity as to how he decided to do the scene, so at the HT Leadership Summit, moderator Vir Sanghvi posed the question to him. Here’s what SRK said.

According to DNA:
“I had a couple of rules actually – that I won’t ride a horse and I won’t kiss. Both are cumbersome. I don’t know how to do both on screen. I will be very honest. Adi, Yash ji and Katrina, and I say this with all humility and thankfulness to them, that they knew I was awkward, I had issues and I am a very easy actor to work with. They are like my family and they said, ‘You don’t have to do this’ and then they got together and they forced me and then even paid me for it. So… when heroines say that ‘I wore a bikini because the story demanded me to’, I did the kiss because the story demanded it. Believe me or don’t believe it.”
I have to say, all things considered, the scene wasn’t much of a big deal at all. What do you think?
