# Madhuri Dixit's Shocking Revelation: The Dayavan Kiss That Left Her in Tears and Changed Her Career **Imagine stepping into Bollywood as a wide-eyed newcomer, only to face a kiss that turns into a nightmare—bleeding lips, endless tears, and a decision that shaped your boundaries forever.** That's the raw story Madhuri Dixit shared decades later about her intimate scenes with Vinod Khanna in the 1988 blockbuster *Dayavan*.[1][2]
Back in 1988, Madhuri was just 20, a rising star still finding her footing, while Vinod Khanna was a Hindi cinema titan with hits like *Qurbani* and *Amar Akbar Anthony* under his belt.[1][2] The film, directed by Feroz Khan, exploded into controversy thanks to the song **Aaj Phir Tumpe Pyaar Aaya Hai**—a steamy sequence packed with an intense kissing scene that pushed boundaries for the era.[1][3] What started as a scripted moment spiraled out of control. Reports reveal Vinod Khanna allegedly lost himself in the kiss, ignoring the director's "cut," continuing for a full five minutes, and even biting Madhuri's lip until it bled.[1][2] Devastated, the young actress broke down in tears on set. Vinod later apologized, but the damage was done—Madhuri never worked with him again.[1][2] In a recent Radio Nasha interview, Madhuri revisited the trauma with candid honesty: **"I was very embarrassed... I decided this is not something that's to be done."** She admitted not fully grasping how explicit the scene would be when she signed on, and even today, watching it shocks her. It became a pivotal **learning lesson**, hardening her resolve against such scenes in the future.[1] The fallout was fierce. Madhuri demanded the sequence's removal, sending a legal notice to Feroz Khan, who refused—reportedly paying her an extra Rs 1 crore to keep it in.[1][2] *Dayavan* became a blockbuster, but at what cost? The bold visuals drew crowds, yet cemented Madhuri's regret, as she confessed in interviews years later.[3] This glimpse into Bollywood's gritty underbelly shows how far the industry has come—or hasn't—in protecting newcomers. Madhuri's story is a testament to resilience, turning vulnerability into strength. **What do you think—should bold scenes like this have no place in cinema today?
