Panchayat 4: There could have been a kissing scene between Rinki and Sachiv Ji but here's what happened
Fans have been loving their budding romance. But, Sanvikaa, who plays Rinki, recently revealed that she declined a kissing scene with Jitendra Kumar in Panchayat 4.
Sanvikaa was made aware of the kissing scene before Jitendra Kumar
Talking to Just Too Filmy, Sanvikaa revealed that she was the first one who was made aware of the kissing scene between Rinki and Sachiv Ji in Panchayat 4. She stated that during the narration, no one said anything. Later, when the director of the show, Akshat, spoke to the actress, he revealed that they had inserted a kissing scene between the two characters.
Elaborating on this further, the actress quipped that the kissing scene was different earlier. Sachiv Ji and Rinki would have been in a car when she fell, and then they kissed, she revealed. Sanvikaa did not decline the request instantly; she admitted taking 2 days to think and analyse the impact this scene would have on the audience, and also took into consideration her comfort level.
The actress recalled thinking that Panchayat has a diverse audience, but mostly family people. 'I was worried about how he would react, and I was also not comfortable. So, I refused at that time. But when we were shooting, they removed that scene, but they inserted the tank scene,' she stated.

Panchayat 5 update
Sanvikaa also dropped a major update about Panchayat 5. She revealed that they will soon begin shooting for the same, and it is expected to drop sometime next year.

Neena Gupta Says She Never Hated Viv Richards: 'Bura Lagta Toh Bachcha Usse Paida Karungi?'
Neena Gupta opens up on raising Masaba, her bond with Vivian Richards, and why she never chose hate. In 1989, when Neena Gupta found out she was expecting a child, she was overjoyed — but she also knew the road ahead wouldn't be easy. Choosing to have the baby as a single woman was a courageous decision, made more complex by the fact that the father was West Indies cricket legend Vivian Richards, and they weren't married. In a past conversation while promoting her series Masaba Masaba, the veteran actress reflected on her past relationships, single motherhood, and her daughter Masaba Gupta's bond with her father, Vivian Richards. When asked if she ever held resentment towards people from her past, Neena was clear. 'I believe once you love somebody, how can you hate? You cannot live, you cannot be together. I don't hate my ex-boyfriends. I don't hate my ex-husband. Why should I hate?" Neena Gupta On Her Relationship With Vivian Richards The actress was also asked about her bond with former cricketer Vivian Richards. Neena dismissed the idea of hate entirely. She said, 'Agar koi mereko itna bura lagta hai toh main bachcha usse paida karungi kyun? Mai pagal hun kya?" In her memoir Sach Kahun Toh, Neena recounted feeling an initial rush of happiness upon learning she was pregnant. Still, she wanted to talk to Vivian before making a final decision. When he said he supported her, she felt relieved. 'Vivian and I had an affair and I got pregnant. He had already returned home when I found out," she wrote. She continued, 'Some people advised me to get an abortion. Others cautioned against the perils of being a single parent. I listened to everyone patiently. They were all very concerned, I know. But once I was back home and alone, I asked myself: What do you think? How does this make you feel? The answer was: I was giddy with joy," she wrote. For years, Neena Gupta has openly spoken about raising Masaba single-handedly. She balanced career pressures with motherhood, carving out opportunities for herself to secure a stable future for her daughter. At a time when being a single mother in Bollywood was far from easy, she pushed through with strength and resilience. Neena Gupta Movies Even today, Neena continues to impress audiences. She recently appeared in Metro… In Dino and received wide praise for her portrayal of Manju Devi in the hit web series Panchayat.
