He also told, "I did get messages about the kissing scene. And, when I was told that there was going to be such a scene, I said âCaptain mazboot ho toh team accha khelti hai. Yeh toh mere daayein haath ka khel hai. Jab mujhe mauka milta hai, main chakka maarta hoon (This is a cakewalk for me. Whenever I get a chance, I hit the ball out of the park). Aur agar mauka mila hai toh gawauga nahin. (If I get a chance, I will never let it go.)"
