The Dhoom 2 kissing scene between Aishwarya Rai and Hrithik Roshan remains one of Bollywood’s most iconic yet controversial moments. It was bold, glamorous, and pivotal for the movie, but it also stirred discussions in the media and among fans. At the time, there were rumors about Aishwarya’s then-future in-laws, the Bachchan family, expressing discontent over the scene. Amidst the buzz, Hrithik Roshan gave a candid and humorous take on his wife Sussanne Khan’s perspective.
Hrithik revealed that Sussanne, instead of objecting to the on-screen kiss, set a high bar for him. Her only condition was that if Hrithik were to kiss on-screen, it had to be the best bloody kiss in the world. This playful challenge added an extra layer of pressure for the actor.
When asked about her reaction after watching the scene, Hrithik shared that she was genuinely proud of his performance. He confessed to feeling “performance anxiety” not over the act itself, but about meeting the high expectations set by his wife.
Hrithik also joked about the trust and faith he had built in their relationship, acknowledging Sussanne’s unwavering support and level-headedness.
