 The kissing scene  one of the most talked-about moments in Bollywood .

The kissing scene in Raja Hindustani (1996) was one of the most talked-about moments in Bollywood at the time. It featured Aamir Khan (Raja) and Karisma Kapoor (Aarti) sharing an intense and passionate kiss in the rain. The scene was notable not just because on-screen kisses were rare in mainstream Bollywood movies of the 90s, but also because of its emotional buildup and execution.

In the film, Aarti is a wealthy girl who falls in love with the simple yet honest taxi driver Raja. Despite societal differences, they marry against her family's wishes. The famous kissing scene occurs when Aarti, after facing hardships and misunderstandings, reunites with Raja in the rain. Overcome with love and longing, they share a deep kiss, making it one of the longest and most intense kissing scenes in Bollywood at that time.

Adding to the controversy, Karisma Kapoor later revealed in interviews that her mother, Babita, was present on set when the scene was being filmed. Given that such scenes were still considered bold in Bollywood, it was a nerve-wracking moment for her. However, she remained professional and completed the scene, which went on to become iconic. The film itself was a massive blockbuster, and the scene remains memorable in Bollywood history.
