Actor Neil Nitin Mukesh rejected all on-screen kiss scenes starting from his first movie Johnny Gaddaar (2007) opposite Rimi Sen, Aa Dekhen Zara (2009) with Bipasha Basu, later with Tera Kya Hoga Johnny (2009) opposite Shahana Goswami, followed with Jail (2009) opposite Mugda Godse and New York (2009) opposite Katrina Kaif. Director Pradeep Sarkar and actress Deepika Padukone had to pressure Neil to broke his self-imposed bow of kiss-celibacy and Lafangey Parindey (2010) turned out to be Neil's first "on screen kiss" movie, which was much improvised by co-actor Deepika than him.
