Meenakshi Seshadri recalls doing a kissing scene with Sunny Deol in Dacait, which never made it to screens.

Meenakshi Seshadri has worked with Sunny Deol in many films like Ghatak, Damini, Ghayal and more. However, she first worked with the superstar in the film Dacait, where they had a kissing scene. Recalling the same, the actress revealed why it was ‘nerve-wracking’. 

In an interview with Zoom, Meenakshi Seshadri opened on doing kissing scene in Dacait with Sunny Deol, which never made it on screen and said, “My first movie with Sunny Deol was Dacait I played a village girl wearing dark make-up. We had a romantic scene where we were both on a boat before the song and we had a kissing scene. It was nerve-wracking because I am a little conservative. After my first film Painter Babu, where I wore pretty revealing clothes, I didn’t feel like repeating that. A kiss was pretty extreme. The shot never was seen by the audience because the censor board cut it.” 

She further added, “But why I am saying this is because…Sunny is a gentleman. He was so relaxed and easy to work with and made the scene smooth. That’s the reason why in all the other movies Ghayal, Ghatak, and Damini that I did with him, we had a very good equation and understanding with each other.” 

Meenakshi Seshadri made her Bollywood debut in 1983 with the movie Painter Babu. She then went on to star in several hits and blockbusters including g Hero, Aandhi-Toofan, Meri Jung, Swati, Dilwaala, Inaam Dus Hazaar, Parivaar, Shahenshah, Mahaadev, Awaargi, Jurm and Damini among others.
