Kissing on screen extremely scary: Kriti Kharbanda

Newbie Kriti Kharbanda, who is making her Bollywood debut with horror film ‘Raaz Reboot,’ says kissing on-screen was a tough task for her. Kriti has worked extensively in down South, but had inhibitions while filming the intimate scenes.

“My first kiss was with Emraan Hashmi and I was extremely scared. I was saying to myself ‘I don’t know how I am going to do this.’ It freaked me out and how.

“I was very uncomfortable about it because I was doing it with a stranger,” Kriti said. Directed by Vikram, Bhatt, ‘Raaz Reboot’ is the fourth film in the horror film franchise ‘Raaz’.

Kriti says when “Raaz Reboot” was offered to her, she was a bit apprehensive as the character in the film was in contrast to the roles she had done in the South.

“Initially I had a lot of inhibitions. I have been very active in South, especially in the past three years, and the image I have there is of a sweet-girl-next-door. But ‘Raaz’ was in a different space.

“In the film, I have an ex-lover, I also have a husband, I get possessed, and I have to kiss on-screen. It had ticked every box of how I am going to spook the living daylight of my audience,” she said.
