Mumbai,India: February 4, 2010 - IR Summary/TOI -

 In all her films, up to now Katrina Kaif has kissed only once, in Kabir Khan’s New York. She said that she wasn’t comfortable doing it, so she has decided never do another kissing sequence again.

Katrina has now decided to make it authorized. She won’t do a kissing scene, even if the producer-director uses the oldest trick to convince her: the script demanded it.

A close friend of Katrina says, “Katrina has said no to kissing scenes in all her films barring New York. And believe me, the directors are very eager to see her kiss her co-stars. Katrina cleverly keeps escaping all the so-called must-kiss scenes. She is a very conservative girl at heart. In fact, when reports claimed that she was going to wear a bikini in Dostana 2, a la Priyanka Chopra in the first Dostana, Katrina protested aggressively and made it clear to producer Karan Johar and director Tarun Mansukhani: no exposure, no kissing.”

Katrina says, “I don’t deny I’ve done scenes in the past where I did things that I wasn’t comfortable with. But now I won’t. I just don’t feel comfortable doing kissing scenes, or for that matter, wearing a bikini on screen.”

In both, Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani and Raajneeti, there was apparently a request for a kiss with Ranbir Kapoor.

Katrina said a polite but firm no.

Says a source, “All the close scenes in Raajneeti are between Ranbir and his American girlfriend played by Sarah Thompson. They have lasting lovemaking and kissing shots. In the Indian portion of Ranbir’s story, there’s no intimacy with Katrina. She persuaded the director that the character of the dignified politician would not go down well with the audience doing intimate scenes.”

Katrina is quite firm as she says, “It’s true. I’m not at all at ease doing kissing scenes. Call me a prude or old-fashioned. I just don’t feel like doing kissing scenes.
