Samantha explains her stance on lip-lock scene
- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,April 10 2018]
Samantha Akkineni doesn't like it when only married actresses are asked about doing, for example, liplocks.
Speaking to the media, she suggests that it's hypocritical to ask such questions only to married actresses, while married male actors too do such scenes. Obviously, she was asked about the pre-interval scene in 'Rangasthalam', where Rama Lakshmi plants a heartfelt kiss on Chitti Babu in an emotional moment. As anybody who has seen it will vouch, there is no trace of sexualization or vulgarity here.
Samantha was admittedly given the freedom by Sukumar to take her call. She loved the director's narration of the scene and felt that she should kiss her co-star (so the scene comes out well). That said, the star actress reveals, it was on Cherry's cheeks that she kissed. Rest of it is a mere photography trick.
