For those people who have deeply-held religious or moral convictions, getting into the acting profession can be a troubling experience. Even though you might be playing a character, it's ultimately still you who has to perform any physical activity required of you, and sometimes that can lead to compromising your morals. For Fawad Khan, he found he couldn't go through with it when he was asked to kiss his co-star Alia Bhatt in 'Kapoor & Sons.'
Khan considered his own chastity more important to him than the part - or his job - and so he point blank refused to do it. The director tried as hard as possible to film around the problem by shooting from an angle which obscured the kiss. Khan and Bhatt therefore performed a simulated kiss, in which no physical contact was made. Despite that, Bhatt says that Khan was still nervous every time she leaned forward in case she tried to plant one on him.
