Neena Gupta rinsed her mouth with Dettol after shooting first kissing scene on Indian TV

Mumbai, July 01, 2023. Actor Neena Gupta recalled how tense she was before and after filming her first on-screen kiss. Neena is set to star in the upcoming Netflix anthology film Lust Stories 2. In an interview, Neena revealed that she was so shaken after the experience that she rinsed her mouth with an antiseptic afterwards. This happened when she was working on the show Dillagi, in the early 1990s. Neena said that showing physical intimacy on screen was unheard of those days, and the move on the channel’s part to promote the episode by saying it included the first-ever on-camera kiss in the history of Indian TV backfired on them.

Lausanne, July 01, 2023. Olympic champion Neeraj Chopra clinched the prestigious Diamond League title for the second consecutive time by throwing his spear to 87.66m on Friday but the coveted 90m mark eluded the star Indian javelin thrower yet again. Coming back from a one-month injury lay-off, Chopra's title-winning performance at the Lausanne leg in challenging conditions was below his own top-10 efforts but he still stamped his authority in the prestigious One-day meet. The 25-year-old Chopra, who had skipped three top events due to a muscle strain he sustained last month, had won the season-opening Diamond League in Doha on May 5 with his fourth career-best throw of 88.67m.
