Pakistan actor Fawad Khan says no to intimacy with Alia Bhatt

Risingbd Desk: Pakistani film and television actor Fawad Khan has reportedly asked the makers of his next film to tone down certain intimate scenes with Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt.

According to a Mumbai Mirror report, Khan and Bhatt are expected to get steamy in Karan Johar’s upcoming Bollywood film ‘Kapoor & Sons’.

However, a source has told the publication that keeping his countrymen`s sensibilities in mind, Fawad Khan has asked the makers to tone down the intimate scene between him and Alia Bhatt.

"Fawad is not comfortable with the idea of getting physical in reel life. Even in his TV shows, Humsafar and Zindagi Gulzar Hai, which are romantic family dramas, there`s no kissing or touching involved. The sex is implied. Both his leading ladies get pregnant, though they only drink chai. Fawad is extremely sensitive to the sensibilities of his conservative countrymen and has told Shakun and Karan to water down the scene, to rely on allusion rather than actual action. And during his next visit to Mumbai they will sit down and work together on the scene to ensure that it does not spark off any controversy later," quoting a source the report says.

The film also stars Sidharth Malhotra and Rishi Kapoor.
