Rajeev Khandelwal-Kritika Kamra deny controversy was deliberate

Mumbai: A few days ago, the leaked footage from Sony’s show 'Reporters' promo went viral with fans of the two stars (along with some media persons) mistaking it as an actual incident and this created a raging war on social media.

Now while the promo has already gone on air, the whole kiss and slap is seen to be part of the scene where Rajeev endorses Kritika’s actions and says that this slap is an answer to all those who mistreat women. Rajeev says, “Truth needs to be told. How beautifully, how effectively and how honestly is what makes a journalist. It’s not just about deliverance, it’s about involvement. The promo is not bold visually. Its bold in attitude. It involves you. The beauty is it hits you right where it should and also conveys the show’s approach right in the beginning.”

Kritika Kamra said, “We don’t know where this whole controversy emerged from. We were equally surprised when we saw it on the internet! There has never been any fire between Rajeev and me. The kiss and slap were part of our script and the promo is getting a great response.”
