This Bollywood film had over 20 kissing scenes, became biggest box-office flop, lead actress got no film after that, name is…, not Murder, Shuddh Desi Romance, Befikre
This Bollywood film had over 20 kissing scenes, became biggest box-office flop, lead actress got no film after that, name is..., not Murder, Shuddh Desi Romance, Befikre From bold romantic scenes to evolved visual effects (VFX), Bollywood movies have seen massive changes in recent years. There were times when both filmmaker and actors were hesitant to shot full kissing scenes. However, today things have taken a shift and several films like Murder, Shudh Desi Romance , have out and out shown bold scenes. Emraan Hashmi, has attained the title of 'serial kisser' in Bollywood, due to his maximum lip-locks on-screen. But, surprisingly, this actor breaks his long-time record of having most kissing scenes in Bollywood. He is none other Neil Nitin Mukesh, for his 2013 movie 3G, alongside Sonal Chauhan. Directed by Shantanu Ray Chhibber and Sheershak Anand, the film had staggering 30 kissing scenes. Despite making headlines for its bold content, the film failed to make an impact at the box office. Made in a budget of Rs 13 crore, the net gross of the film was just Rs 5.48 crore, while the worldwide gross stands at Rs 7.45 crore. 3G broke Murder's previous record of most kissing scenes, but still couldn't capture audience's attention. With the lowest IMDb rating of 3.6, the film received heavy backlash from viewers and critics alike. 3G became one of the most lowest-rated films of all time. It was criticised not just for its weak storyline but also for its content. After 3G failed at the box office, lead actress, Sonal Chauhan left Bollywood, but continued working in other regional films. Sonal made a Bollywood comeback three years later with JP Dutta's Paltan. No other Bollywood film could break the record of 3G. The closest ones like Shuddh Desi Romance (2013), starring Sushant Singh Rajput, Parineeti Chopra and Vaani Chopra had 27 kisses. While, Ranveer Singh and Vaani Kapoor starrer Befikre (2016) featured 25. But, none could break the record of 3G.

Sonal Chauhan praises Anushka Sharma for bringing out Virat Kohli's spiritual side: 'She's a calming effect in his life'
Sonal Chauhan , who is known for her role in Jannat alongside Emraan Hashmi, recently made a rare appearance at Mumbai's Wankhede Stadium during the IPL match between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK). Now, in a recent interview, she has praised Anushka Sharma for the positive influence she has had on Virat Kohli 's spiritual journey. Virat Kohli, who was once known for his aggressive on-field persona and single-minded focus on fitness and ambition, has embraced spirituality in a big way over the past few years. He has been visiting ashrams, meeting spiritual gurus like Neem Karoli Baba and Premanand Maharaj, attending kirtans, and has openly spoken about his faith in Lord Hanuman. Many fans believe this transformation is largely because of his wife Anushka Sharma. Sonal Chauhan lauds Anushka Sharma's positive influence on Virat Kohli During a conversation with Filmygyan, Sonal was asked what she would say if she suddenly bumped into Virat Kohli. She smiled and said, 'I would say, Jai Shri Ram and Har Har Mahadev, since he's right now being very religious. I've seen a lot of his reels where he's exploring that spiritual side of his.' Sonal Chauhan on Virat and Anushka's bond When asked about Virat's earlier statement where he once said, "Do I look like the puja-paath types?" and his transformation now, Sonal credited Anushka Sharma for it. She said, 'I think it's the right woman. The right woman in his life is definitely bringing out the spiritual side in him. When you're surrounded with the right people, positive people, it reflects on your personality. I think she's a calming effect in his life." Sonal Chauhan's IPL Appearance Sparks Nostalgia After marrying Anushka in 2017, Virat's spiritual side has only grown. The couple has often been seen visiting spiritual places, including ashrams in Vrindavan, and taking blessings from gurus. They have even been spotted at kirtans, along with their children Vamika and Akaay. Virat's devotion to Lord Hanuman is a significant part of his journey, with the cricketer often drawing strength and inspiration from his faith. Meanwhile, Anushka has taken a step back from her acting career, with her last lead role being in Zero (2018), while Virat continues to be a dominant force in world cricket. The couple's journey together continues to inspire millions of fans, both for their professional achievements and their shared spiritual growth.

When Sonal Chauhan REACTED to reports of 30 kissing scenes with Neil Nitin Mukesh in 3G: 'If someone tells me they want to put intimate scenes...'
Long before viral moments from stadiums made her trend again, actress Sonal Chauhan grabbed headlines for a very different reason. During the promotions of her 2013 film 3G, rumours swirled that the psychological thriller featured as many as 30 kissing scenes between her and co-star Neil Nitin Mukesh . From Jannat to 3G Sonal, who had shot to fame with her 2008 debut Jannat opposite Emraan Hashmi , was returning to the big screen with this horror-thriller directed by Shantanu Ray Chhibber and Sheershak Anand. While the film's trailer did hint at some steamy moments, Sonal was quick to set the record straight. Setting the Record Straight Dismissing the exaggerated reports, she clarified that 3G didn't include numerous intimate scenes as claimed. According to her, the film stayed true to its psychological thriller theme, and any romantic moments—including a single kiss in a love song—were placed naturally within the storyline. Only If It Serves the Story Sonal shared that she is open to doing intimate scenes, but only if they are necessary for the storyline. She clarified that she wouldn't agree to such scenes just for publicity or promotional purposes. Conviction and Realism Matter Sonal explained that in her film, there's a romantic song that naturally ends with a kiss, which fits the story. She believes that today's audiences are smart and expect realism. For her, it's important that an actor feels convinced about a scene, and everything should be done with honesty and purpose. 3G follows the story of a couple, played by Neil Nitin Mukesh and Sonal Chauhan, who face unexpected and eerie events during their vacation in Fiji. The trouble begins when Neil's character buys a second-hand 3G-enabled phone. One mysterious call one night sets off a chilling chain of events that alters their lives completely.
