Shabana Azmi on Javed Akhtar's reaction

Shabana Azmi also said that Javed Akhtar was not bothered at all by the kiss. But, was bothered to see the actress' behaviour while watching the film. "Oh he was not bothered. But what bothered him was my rowdy behaviour. Throughout the film I was applauding, whistling, cheering and shouting. He was like, 'I don't know this woman sitting next to me.' I went insane with excitement," Shabana Azmi told a website.

"I never thought it would create such a fuss! People are laughing and cheering when we do the kiss. While shooting it was never an issue. It is true that I haven't kissed much on screen before. But who wouldn't want to kiss a man as handsome as Dharmendra?" Shabana added.
