The actor explained to his director how the culture is much more conservative and sex happens with clothes. The director was confused until Khan gave her the example of how he and Tabu indulged in some clothed "violent" sex in The Namesake. Lynch was unconvinced. Khan then went on to explain his character furthermore. He claimed that his character, an orthodox Brahmin, who had a sneaky mother-in-law would hardly take a risk, "Given the circumstances, my character and his wife would hardly be expected to take off their clothes. And that convinced Jennifer."
Most happy with the outcome was co-star Divya Dutta who was hoping Khan would be able to convince Lynch, "She was waiting with bated breath to see if I could manage to convince Jennifer. Once everything was sorted out, our lovemaking scene lasted for about an hour."
