A good romance on-screen makes our hearts fuzzy and light as we swim in the delight of watching a Prince Charming rescue a pretty Princess from her tinsel castle. But what if you take away the smooth edges of a romance and introduce thriller elements like mystery, murder and action? The result would be an unusual romance that both thrills and charms you. Such is the case with Disney+ Hotstar’s upcoming romantic thriller, Aashiqana. With a captivating cast, riveting plot and a romance that trumps all obstacles, series director Gul Khan brings this Hotstar Special that races your adrenaline while tickling your romantic bones. 

Actor Zayn Ibad Khan and Khushi Dubey play the lead roles of Yash and Chikki in the project. The show recently had a viral sequence in which Yash and Chikki share a kiss. The beauty of the sequence was Chikki approaching Yash and initiating a kiss. The sequence was beautifully shot and was quite well-received by the viewers.

India Forums got in touch with actress Khushi Dubey and asked her about her thoughts on sequence and weather she was skeptical performing the sequence.

Khushi quipped, “Well, even if a slightest boldness is added, one gets apprehensive and I was no exception. I was a little skeptical when I learned about the kissing sequence but Gul ma’am and our DOP Atif sir spoke to me and made me understand things and I realized that the scene is shot in a cuter space. Zayn and I heard the entire narration and quite liked it and made sure to perform it in a way that has been perceived by the makers”.

While I mentioned about being skeptical initially, I wasn’t even a bit uncomfortable performing the scene as Zayn is a very supportive actor and he always makes sure to make me feel comfortable, onscreen as well as offscreen.

Talking about shooting the sequence with actor Zayn Ibad Khan, Dubey added, “While I mentioned about being skeptical initially, I wasn’t even a bit uncomfortable performing the scene as Zayn is a very supportive actor and he always makes sure to make me feel comfortable, onscreen as well as offscreen”.

When asked about the feedback on the scene, Khushi added, “Although our project has a TV format, it is streaming on an OTT platform (Disney + Hotstar) and there’re a lot of young viewers who watch the content on OTT platforms and considering it is OTT, we managed to push the envelope and deliver a sequence like this. The scene was loved by the viewers. However, since it was Chikki’s dream sequence, the fans want Chikki’s dreams to transform into reality (laughs). I hope the viewers liked the scene”.
