Biswajeet answers if he kissed Rekha without consent during 1969 film: ‘Kissing is nothing’
In a recent interview, actor Biswajeet addressed a controversial incident from his 1969 film Do Shikari involving actress Rekha. The controversy arose when Yasser Usman's book, Rekha: The Untold Story, revealed that Biswajeet allegedly kissed Rekha without her consent during a scene in the film. Rekha, who was reportedly a teenager at the time, was furious when she discovered the kiss was uninvited.
She never addressed the issue herself but, as Biswajeet's daughter Pallavi Chatterjee noted, the situation would have been traumatizing for her due to Rekha's young age and the lack of consent. Biswajeet dismissed the controversy, stating that today's on-screen kissing scenes are commonplace and not considered a big deal. He did not clarify whether he sought Rekha's permission for the kiss.
When asked about their subsequent interactions, Biswajeet revealed that they collaborated again on his film Kahte Hain Mujhko Raja in 1976, with Rekha working alongside him.
