The only thing that people are talking about Dev Anand's latest release Mr. Prime Minister is his onscreen smooch with an NRI actress in the film. And while Dev Anand is known for the skin-show in his films, what nobody might have noticed is that this is the first time that he is smooching onscreen. Also this might be the first time that an 82-year-old actor might be lip-locking with a 20 plus actress on the Indian screen.
So who's the girl in question? Here's introducing the miss behind Dev Anand's kiss.
Name: Khursheed Khurody.
Born in Mumbai, India in a Parsi family, brought up in England.
Studied Ph D from Harvard University.
Started as a model in Benadryl commercial.
Has worked with Shahrukh Khan and Saif Ali Khan in advertisements.
Debuted in movies with the critically acclaimed Black where she had a one bit role playing a pianist in Nandana Sen's wedding.
Current achievements: The first female to have smooched Dev Anand onscreen.
More on the kiss: Neither Dev Anand nor Khursheed were uncomfortable during the take. She got it correct in just two retakes. The kiss is justified as Anand plays Khursheed's husband in the film and since they meet after a long time, a kiss or two is bound to happen.
Forthcoming film: She has bagged a role in an English film starring Om Puri and Gulshan Grover, where she plays a foreign return Brahmin teacher.
