Hindi cinema has a history of over 100 years, and during this time, Bollywood has seen significant changes. One of the major shifts has been the open portrayal of hot and kissing scenes in films. However, there was a time when such scenes were rarely seen in movies.

Today, we bring you the inside story of one of Bollywood’s most controversial kissing scenes, which might surprise you. This scene is considered the longest kissing scene in Hindi cinema. Let’s find out which two film stars were involved in this iconic moment.

Bollywood’s Longest Kissing Scene

With the rise of OTT platforms, kissing and intimate scenes are now openly shown in cinema. However, this was not always the case. You might be surprised to know that the kissing scene we’re discussing was from the 1933 film Karma.

Yes, this movie, released 92 years ago, featured this lengthy kissing scene, filmed between legendary actress Devika Rani and actor Himanshu Roy. According to IMDb, this is considered the longest kissing scene in Bollywood, lasting a full 4 minutes.

A Controversial Scene

This scene created a massive controversy at the time. Since it was released before India’s independence, the kissing scene led to a great uproar, and the movie was eventually banned nationwide. It’s worth noting that the film was a commercial failure at the box office.

Real-Life Couple: Himanshu and Devika

It’s said that Devika Rani and Himanshu Roy had no issues filming this kissing scene, as they were a married couple in real life. Their personal relationship made it easier for them to agree to shoot the romantic scene. However, neither of them anticipated that their kiss would earn the title of the longest kissing scene in Bollywood history.

A Modern Contrast

While kissing and intimate scenes are common in nearly every movie today, it’s surprising to note that even after three decades in the industry, actors like Salman Khan still avoid filming kissing scenes.
