Actor Neena Gupta stole the limelight with her character in `Lust Stories 2`. A few seconds on screen in the trailer was enough for the senior actor to become a favourite among the audience. Ahead of the release of the Netflix anthology, Neena Gupta opened up about her first on-screen kiss and said she did not exactly have a great time filming it.
Recalling her first kiss on-screen, Neena Gupta told Instant Bollywood, "As an actor you have to do all kinds of scenes, sometimes you have to step in mud, sometimes you have to stand in the sun for several hours. Many years ago, I did a serial with Dilip Dhawan. It had the first-ever lip-to-lip kissing scene on Indian TV. I couldn’t sleep all night. It wasn’t like he was a friend, we were acquaintances. He was good-looking, but that doesn’t really matter in these situations, because physically and mentally, I wasn’t ready. I was so tense, but I convinced myself to go through with it."
