Irrfan surprises Dia with a lip kiss!

Irrfan Khan is not one of those heroes who romances with so many heroines in his films. Majority of his films had him in powerful character roles, which earned him a lot accolades. But perhaps the actor longs for the sugar daddy romance of our films and its gestures like hugging, kissing etc on screen even if he's not required to. Yes you heard right! And so keen was he to taste it that in spite of directions to kiss Dia Mirza on the cheek he coolly kissed her on the lips much to the horror of the actress! Ugh!

A source said that they were shooting a vital sequence in South Africa for Acid Factory. It was a scene where Dia introduces Irrfan to Fardeen Khan and Irrfan was supposed to give a peck on her cheeks to tell Fardeen that he's not supposed to encroach in his territory as he doubts both of having an affair. However, surprising everyone, Irrfan kissed Dia on the lips. Dia was visibly upset with the actor's act, as it was not part of the script. She didn't make a fuss about it on the sets but later called up Sanjay Gupta and made her displeasure apparent. That's it? Sigh!

Though she made her annoyance apparent to Sanjay Gupta, she was in no mood to be pro-Irrfan when asked about the incident. She said that she indeed was surprised but didn't pay much heed to it knowing Irrfan's geniuses. (Irrfan is a genius in kissing...hey that's a news!) She maintained that it was hardly a kiss, which everyone's making out of it (oh really?) She asserted that she didn't feel violated or bad about it (So you enjoyed it right?). She doesn't see it as Irrfan's intentions to cross the line. He just did it to establish the chemistry between them in the scene. So why did you call up daddy Gupta for condolences?

When asked, Sanjay accepted that Dia did call him up to tell him about the incident. He too echoed Dia's views (as if reading from some dialogue sheet circulated between Dia and him). He said that perhaps (?) Irrfan wanted to make the scene to be more believable and if people see the rushes of the scene, they would know Khan succeeded in it. And since Dia is cool about it he didn't feel like interfering. Hmmm...point taken, Gupta?

Irrfan we don't see any need for you to come clean on the issue as your wronged co-star and director have given you a clean chit. However, we must say, that was a great way to kiss an actress...all in the name of being believable! Cht Cht!
