If there is no kissing scene or romantic scene in Bollywood movies, then the film seems incomplete. But there was a time when the scenes of romance between the hero and heroine were also filmed very carefully. In the 50s and 60s, there would hardly be any scene in which the hero-heroine was shown very close to each other. Showing romance and intimacy was a far cry. In today’s films, bold scenes are given, but do you know when, how and in which film the first kissing scene of Hindi cinema was filmed.
The first kissing scene was shot in this film: The first kissing scene of Bollywood was filmed in the year 1933 in the film ‘Karma’. The scene was shot between actress Devika Rani and actor Himanshu Roy.
It was Bollywood’s first kiss of 4 minutes: This kissing scene shown in the film Karma was the longest romantic scene of that era. In this, Devika had kissed Himanshu several times for a while. This scene lasted for about 4 minutes. This scene was not a love making scene, but the film actors faint and the actress kisses them to bring them to their senses. And this scene was recorded as the first kissing scene in the history of Bollywood.
How was the shoot: After this kissing scene of the film Karma, the producer and actor-actress of the film was criticized a lot and the film was also banned. At that time it was a big deal to perform a scene on screen, but actors Himanshu Rai and Devika Rani took a big step by doing so. Devika and Himanshu were husband and wife so they had no problem doing this scene.
Devika Rani was honored with Padma Shri: Dadasaheb Phalke Award was started in 1970. This is the biggest award of Indian cinema. Its first winner was Devika Rani. Apart from this, Devika Rani became the first woman in the film industry to be awarded the Padma Shri.
