Vinod Khanna's Comeback: Intimate Scene Gone Awry
27 Sep
Summary
- Vinod Khanna's career took an unexpected turn to follow spiritual guru Osho.
- An intimate scene with Dimple Kapadia allegedly continued after director's cut.
- The incident left Dimple Kapadia shocked and uncomfortable during filming.
Years before becoming a respected veteran, Vinod Khanna famously left Bollywood at his peak to follow spiritual leader Osho. After nearly five years away, his return to films generated significant buzz. One project marking this comeback was Mahesh Bhatt's 'Prem Dharm,' co-starring Dimple Kapadia. Reports from the time recall an unsettling incident during the filming of an intimate scene.
During a sequence involving an embrace and kiss, it is alleged that Vinod Khanna continued his actions for a few moments even after director Mahesh Bhatt called for 'cut.' Various accounts suggest Khanna might have been disoriented or overly immersed in the scene after his hiatus. Crew members reportedly intervened to halt the action.
This alleged continuation of the scene reportedly left Dimple Kapadia in a state of shock and discomfort, prompting her to retreat to her makeup room. Mahesh Bhatt is said to have later addressed the matter with Khanna, advising him to speak with Kapadia and offer an apology. Some reports indicate Khanna acknowledged losing control during the performance, though the precise details of the event remain subjects of differing recollections.
