In Panchayat 4, Saanvika AKA Rinki Refused To Kiss Jitendra Kumar: "Scene Was Removed"
Saanvika, who shot to fame with the Amazon Prime original Panchayat series, recently revealed she had turned down a kissing scene between her and Jitendra Kumar (Sachivji) in the fourth instalment of the series. Following her request, the script was changed and the scene was removed.
What's Happening
During a conversation with Just Too Filmy, Saanvika revealed she was not comfortable doing a kissing scene.
"In the beginning, no one said anything when the narration was done. But then director Akshat [Vijaywargiya] talked to me. He told that in this season we have inserted a scene where Sachiv ji and Rinki will kiss. Earlier the scene was different. Both of them are in the car, she falls down and then they kiss," she recalled.
Saanvika took a decision keeping the "family audience" of the popular show in mind.
"So I said give me two days to think whether I am comfortable doing it or not. Then I thought that 'Panchayat' has all kinds of audiences, 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," Saanvika said.
Saanvika plays Rinki (Pradhanji's daughter) in the series. The love story between Rinki and Sachivji, which was blossomed in the season one, gained a momentum in the season four as Sachivji finally confessed his love to her.
In A Nutshell
Panchayat, one of the most popular shows on Amazon Prime, has released its fourth season a week ago. The season opened to mixed reviews from critics and audience alike. Saanvika has revealed that she refused a kissing scene with Jitendra Kumar and the scene was changed following her disapproval.

Sanvikaa talks about gradual evolution of her ‘Panchayat' character
Actress Sanvikaa, who has been getting a lot of positive response to her work in the recently released season of the superhit streaming show 'Panchayat', has spoken up on the trajectory of character in the show through 4 seasons. The actress recently spoke, and shared that it was the conscious choice of the makers to gradually unravel the layers of her character, and not in one go. In the first season of the show, Sanvikaa's character is not seen until the last sequence of the season 1 finale episode. Her character has grown over a time period, and this time around she is more hands-on and fully involved with the narrative of the show. Talking about the same, Sanvikaa told IANS, 'I think the makers wanted it to be in such a way, where the character is slowly progressing. They never wanted to give it like in the first go itself. That's why conscious efforts have been made to show Rinky in bits and pieces only. And, with time we are discovering who Rinky is, what she stands for and how her relations with the family and with her love life and whatever she's dealing with in her life, that is being discovered in a very slow process'. She further mentioned, 'So, even now I think that we can see a little more of what Rinky is in the previous season. So, it has always been like a pre-planned thing that will happen in season four and like with after season four things will, you know, grow a little more'. When asked what's her mindspace like these days given a stellar response to the show, the actress said that with every season, whenever the actor got to know the announcement date, she used to be very anxious and nervous. Even this time when the first time the release date was announced, it was supposed to release on July 2, but the show released earlier. Since that day, the actress has been very anxious and with time it has been a mix of a lot of emotions, nervousness, excitement. She said, 'As an actor, you are always curious, you know how people will respond to the season, how people will respond to you or to your character'. 'So, definitely that thing was there and I think somewhere right now also though the season has released, but still like somewhere it's still there. But I'm really enjoying it because the response has been great and 'Panchayat' has a serious, amazing, loyal fan following. So, I'm really glad about it', she added.

It's essential, but I would never want to be a loner." Abhishek called himself a people person. "I have my moments when I need my solitude. It is very important and essential for an actor. But not for a longer time. I need someone to talk to." Abhishek Bachchan's Married Life Abhishek married Aishwarya in a grand ceremony in 2007. They welcomed their daughter Aaradhya in 2011.
