Actor Viren Barman Faces Backlash for On-Screen Hug with Kriti Sanon
A video of a movie scene from the Bollywood film Tere Ishk Mein has gone viral on social media, sparking controversy and "repercussions" for actor Viren Barman. In the scene, Barman's character is seen embracing Kriti Sanon's character, which has led to accusations of an on-screen romantic connection being misinterpreted as real-life intimacy.
According to sources close to the production, the hug was a scripted part of the scene and not a deviation from the original plan. The scene is intended to showcase the emotional bond between the two characters, and the actors' actions were guided by the director's instructions.
Despite this, the video has sparked a heated debate on social media, with many viewers expressing shock and discomfort at the apparent closeness between the two actors. Some have even taken to calling for a boycott of the film, citing the perceived impropriety of the scene.
Barman's management team has released a statement defending the actor and emphasizing that the scene was a scripted part of the film. The team has also assured that Barman and Sanon have a professional working relationship and that the controversy surrounding the scene is "unwarranted."
The controversy has raised questions about the boundaries between on-screen and off-screen relationships in the film industry. While the incident may be a minor blip on the radar for some, it serves as a reminder of the scrutiny that actors face in the public eye.
The film's director, Rohit Khanna, has also weighed in on the controversy, stating that the scene was intended to be a poignant moment in the film and not a reflection of any real-life relationship between the actors.
