Although Nisha Kothari is open to skin exposure, she seems averse to locking lips before the camera.
In this Friday’s release, The Killer , Nisha is acting in a film outside the banner of her mentor Ram Gopal Varma for the first time. In the film, presented by Mahesh Bhatt, Nisha plays a club dancer.
While the movie’s shooting was underway, Nisha’s co-star Emraan Hashmi , who enjoys the reputation of a ‘serial kisser’, played a prank on her that he would kiss her in a scene. Nisha was apprehensive because she has shunned kissing scenes in films.
Anyway, the kiss was not to be. It was just a joke by Emraan. But it raises one apt question: Why this ‘kiss-o-phobia’ on Nisha’s part?
She explains: “Right from day one the producers of the film knew that I won’t do kissing scenes as I am not comfortable doing such scenes irrespective of the banner and co-star. And there is no need of these scenes as the movie’s name is The Killer and not The Kisser”.
However, when quizzed if she will abstain from these kinds of scenes, she replied: “May be in my 10th movie I may consider a scene like this, provided there is a comfort level”.
Nisha has two more movies in hand, including Ram Gopal Varma’s Shiva (in which she is playing a journalist) and a comedy titled 'Go'.
