Kartik Aaryan’s third on screen liplock in Satyaprem Ki Katha is his first truly relaxed romantic kiss

The silken looks and smooth smooches in the song ‘Naseeb Se’ in the forthcoming film Satyaprem Ki Katha are being much talked about. It shows that Kartik Aaryan is finally at ease doing a romantic kiss on screen. Earlier Kartik felt awkward doing kissing sequences on camera, and it showed.

Said a source in the know, “When Kartik had to smooch Subhash Ghai’s heroine Mishti in Kaanchi, he was most reluctant. He didn’t know his co-star Mishti at all. Smooching a stranger, even for a film, seemed odd to the conservative actor from Gwalior. Since Kartik was new to the industry, he obediently did what the director asked him to. Even in Imtiaz Ali’s Love Aaj Kal where he was comfortable with his co-star Sara Ali Khan, Kartik was not fully comfortable doing the multiple liplocks, though he covered up his discomfort well.”

The intimate scenes in Satyaprem Ki Katha strike an authentic note as Kartik has learnt to be comfortable with on-screen intimacy.

A source close to the actor revealed, “Like Shah Rukh and Salman, Kartik feels romance can be shown without physical intimacy. But in Satyaprem Ki Katha, physical proximity is an essential part of the romance. Kartik and Kiara Advani did extensive workshops together before coming to this level of comfort in their onscreen intimacy.”
