In a recent interaction with HT City, Rajkummar Rao revealed that he would never slap a girl onscreen when asked about that one thing he would never do in a movie. The Newton actor said, “Actually, it would be very hard for me to slap a girl in a scene.
I wouldn’t be able to do it.” He was immediately asked whether he would have been able to pull off a film like Kabir Singh. To this, Rao said, “Yeah, maybe I would have had a lot of discussions with my director about this scene. Unless it’s like something which you cannot CANNOT live without, you know your character just cannot live without, it’s like breathing that has to be there… I would get into a big debate with my director.” He referred to the scene wherein Shahid Kapoor’s Kabir slaps Kiara Advani’s Preeti in a fit of rage.
