Jitendra Kumar Recalls On-Screen Kiss with Ayushmann Khurrana: “He Made Me Feel Comfortable”

Actor Jitendra Kumar, best known for Panchayat, recently reflected on his intimate scene with Ayushmann Khurrana in Shubh Mangal Zyada Saavdhan, praising Khurrana for his professionalism. The film, which challenged societal norms around same-sex love, featured a bold kiss between the two leads—still a rarity in mainstream Bollywood.

In an old interview that has resurfaced, Jitendra shared how Ayushmann’s easygoing nature and supportive approach made the experience smooth, helping him feel at ease during a scene that could’ve been daunting.

The film played a significant role in shaping LGBTQ+ representation in Indian cinema. Jitendra’s candid reflection once again brings attention to the importance of comfort and trust between co-actors, especially when portraying sensitive narratives that push the boundaries of traditional storytelling.
