While shooting for a tough and dangerous action sequence for the movie Kites, Latino sensation Barbara Mori made her co-star Hrithik Roshan shed his inhibitions to express love in one of its natural manifestations, the kiss.Hrithik confirmed this with matter-of-fact directness and said, “We were both supposed to jump off from a rooftop at an impossible height. Before we did so director Anurag Basu suggested that I kiss Barbara since we were doing something death-defying and dangerous.I kissed her on her cheek at which she turned around to ask, ‘Given the same situation with your wife Suzanne, would you kiss her on the cheek?’ I was floored by her logic. The scene was re-shot and I kissed her the way real-life couples would in the situation.” An amused Hrithik added, “Is kissing such a big deal? Hasn’t our cinema grown up? There are kissing scenes in Kites but nothing to make me squirm. I’d be more than happy watching those scenes with my wife, son and parents.” Emphasising the need to look at lip-locking in Bollywood rationally Hrithik argued, “Kites is a story about people in love. How do people in love express their feelings? Barbara made me realise how silly we look on screen shying away from expressing love naturally."
