Reflecting on one specific incident, Madhoo revealed she was asked to perform a kissing scene without prior notice.Madhoo recalls horrible kissing sceneWithout naming the film or the co-star involved, she said, “It wasn’t the kind of kiss that we see in films today. It was more like a peck on the lips, but that made me feel really bad. That I was required to kiss wasn’t something that was conveyed to me before I began shooting. When I was told, they took me to the side and we had a conversation. They explained to me why it was important, and that’s why I did it. But it was the most horrible and non-convincing thing I had to do.”She further added, “The kiss didn’t even serve any purpose. I didn’t even have a conversation with the director to not include that scene in the film. I let it pass. I was too young in every way, and not just by age. Today, 22-year-olds and 24-year-olds are so clever and exposed. At 22, I was very naïve.”Madhoo’s upcoming filmMadhoo will next be seen in the Telugu-language fantasy film Kannappa, directed by Mukesh Kumar Singh and produced by Mohan Babu.
