Annu Kapoor says Priyanka Chopra refused kiss scene in 7 Khoon Maaf
Veteran actor Annu Kapoor has revisited the controversy over an intimate scene with Priyanka Chopra Jonas in Vishal Bhardwaj's 2011 film 7 Khoon Maaf. In an old interview with journalist Shubhankar Mishra, Kapoor said his earlier remarks were 'blown out of proportion' and suggested the controversy may have been a publicity stunt.
Kapoor recalled that during the filming of Aitraaz, he called Priyanka 'beti' and knew her father. When Bhardwaj wanted the intimate scene for 7 Khoon Maaf, Kapoor said he sensed Priyanka's discomfort and asked the director to cut the scene. Bhardwaj initially resisted, saying the scene was important to the story, but later Priyanka's team conveyed she was not comfortable. Kapoor said he did not hold her decision against her and called her a 'star' who had every right to refuse.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The Times of India report frames the story primarily through Annu Kapoor's account, treating the incident as a resolved misunderstanding rather than a controversy. It highlights Kapoor's respectful language toward Priyanka and his dismissal of the furore as exaggerated. The outlet does not independently verify or challenge Kapoor's narrative, nor does it include Priyanka's past dismissal of the issue as 'irritating and unnecessary' beyond a brief mention. The coverage is straight reporting of one actor's reminiscence, with no editorial stance. Readers should note that the story relies entirely on Kapoor's version and offers no fresh comment from Priyanka or Bhardwaj.
