‘Ram and Sakshi’s love scene was subtle, not vulgar’

Yesteryear's actor Jeetendra defends the intimate scene in "Bade Acche Lagte Hain", which was termed too bold for small screen and raised eyebrows, saying the bedroom sequence picturised on Ram Kapoor and Sakshi Tanwar was not vulgar.

"Actually, I ACTUALLY liked that romance. People may need considered it an excessive amount of but I DISCOVERED it subtle.

If a husband and a wife meet after six months, then it's absolute to happen. But whatever happened was subtle.

There was nothing vulgar in it. I DISCOVERED it alright," the 69-year-old said on the Global Indian Film Television Honours.

The show is being produced by Jeetendra's daughter, Ekta Kapoor.

The episode was telecast March 12 and set tongues wagging in regards to the sudden display of intimacy on Indian television.

Ekta's actor brother Tusshar feels certain norms must be broken at the small screen.

"I do not believe people really like decent serials because people point fingers at decent serials to boot. I BELIEVE you will need to break certain norms then only people will appreciate decency.

Critics are never happy and whatever people like and appreciate is within limits," said the 35-year-old.
