No kissing for TV actors!

Shreyashi Srivastava, TNN 18 September 2009, 12:00am IST

The furore over Sach Ka Saamna had just settled when another controversy erupted in tellyland.

&& A picture of the controversial audition

A Balaji audition held asked aspirants to dress minimally and kiss! There may have been outrage, but no official complaint has been filed, says Dharmesh Tiwari, President, Cine and Television Artists' Association (CINTAA). Hence there will be no action. Censor Board member Nandini Sardesai, who feels strongly about the issue, says, "I find it in poor taste. Kissing passionately can hardly be the yardstick for judging acting skills. It is very demeaning to both males and females. It is very derogatory to the human spirit." But what do actors from tellyland have to say? Well, while some preferred not to comment, a few others adopted the diplomatic route and of course a handful spoke their mind...

Sara Khan:

This is not done! What about Indian culture? There will be no difference between India and other countries. People should reveal their talent and not their bodies.

is doing certain things.

Ekta should get a life, do anything for publicity and attention, this kissing audition totally disgusting...........

Is Ekta making an adult movie nor a movie based on prostitution.. but even if she does that, kissing and dressing minimally, is not something with which ones acting skills can be measured...

This lady is a real pervert...

They need a good actor...not a good kisser!
I bet who's going to watch the movie/show...offcourse no family would like to watch it together, atleast i won't even dare to. And which channel is going to take this show anyway? all the indian channels are basically family channels & stuff. Even star one wouldn't take it. If its a show, then mark my words guys...if sach ka samna almost got banned, then this show will definitely get banned for showing a kiss scene on TV. If it's a movie, i think that would be ok as that's bollywood. but tv would be a wrong thing.
Wow, they even put up the kissing pic of those 2 auditioned actors -_-
did they even take their permisiion before posting it? cuz incase these 2 ppl from the pic dont get selected, they will have to face the ppl, specially if its india, for sure.

omgsh.. when i saw the audition clips (there's a video on I-F..in the video section) i was so appalled! =///.
