Rajeev Khandelwal, who won millions of hearts for his romantic and intense portrayal as Sujal in Kahiin To Hoga, was uncomfortable playing a romantic scene with co-actress Priyanka Bassi aka Naina in Left Right Left.

Says a source in the production house, "It was a romantic sequence, where Rajeev and Priyanka were supposed to get cosy; the scene was to be shot in mud. When Rajeev heard about it, he was reluctant to do it. The director had a tough time persuading him. But even then, the scene could not be finished in a day. The director was unhappy about their poor chemistry on screen. He had to go for several retakes to get the seen right. "

When contacted Anshuman Singh, director of the show, said, "The scene was supposed to be shot in mud. Rajeev was not convinced initially; but when we told him that it was a significant scene in the plot, he agreed."

Anshuman further added, "Rajeev was unhappy in the beginning, because it was a muddy sequence and it is winter. It took two days to shoot the sequence, but the outcome was just perfect," he added.

But what about their poor on-screen chemistry? "The scene was important, so we couldn't do away with it. But as a director, I think, Rajeev's chemistry with Shveta Salve is far more appealing on screen than with Priyanka."

Priyanka Bassi, when contacted said, "The scene was shot at Filmcity. I was really scared to enact the scene since I was already stung by a scorpion a few days back. But Rajeev is a wonderful co-actor and was very supportive while performing the scene."
