Vinod Khanna's Unforgettable Scene with Madhuri Dixit: A Controversial Moment


In today's cinema, kissing scenes are commonplace, but this was not the case years ago. When Madhuri Dixit performed a lip-lock with the legendary actor Vinod Khanna in her second film, it sparked significant controversy. During the filming of this scene, Khanna became so overwhelmed that he accidentally bit Madhuri's lips.


The Film That Created a Stir

Madhuri began her acting career at the tender age of 16 with the film 'Abodh'. Her second project was alongside Vinod Khanna in the film 'Dayavan', which was released in 1988. This film made a significant impact at the box office upon its release.


The Incident with Madhuri's Lips

In 'Dayavan', Madhuri portrayed the role of Khanna's wife, and the film featured several intimate scenes, including an extended lip-lock that captivated audiences. However, few are aware that during the filming of this scene, Khanna lost control and ended up biting Madhuri's lips.


Controversy Surrounding the Kissing Scene

Interestingly, Madhuri was paid a hefty sum of 1 crore rupees for her role in this film. The director, Feroz Khan, anticipated that the kissing scene would stir up controversy, which is why Madhuri was offered such a high fee to limit the number of scenes. Upon its release, the film became a blockbuster, but the kissing scene between Madhuri and Vinod Khanna led to considerable debate. Reports suggest that after the controversy escalated, Feroz Khan received notices to cut the scene, but he chose to keep it intact.
