Aftab Shivdasani was extremely nervous the day he had to do his very first kissing scene in his film Red opposite Celina Jaitley. He even stopped his girlfriend Yana Gupta from coming to the sets that day.

Eventually the lip-lock was shot but it turned out to be the nightmare for Celina as she ended with 'bleeding lips'.

Producer of the film, Sunil Chainani confirms the ‘bleeding lips' episode, saying, "We had to stop as it got a bit out of hand. After a few intense retakes the shot was still unsatisfactory, but suddenly Celina realised she had a cut on her lips. She required medical assistance so shooting had to be stopped and the kiss was re-shot the following day."

A very understanding Yana Gupta says, "I was supposed to drop in that day and I knew he was going to enact some hot scene. This was the very first time he was doing a kissing scene in any film and it's quite natural that he would be conscious about it and not want his girlfriend around."

She continues, "I'm happy he's done it. It's important to understand that this is an inseparable part of our profession and it would be only stupid to feel jealous; only people who are insecure about themselves and their relationship would feel threatened by a screen kiss.

You cant and don't build a relationship based only on all this anyway, so why give it so much importance?"

Yana is happy about the way Aftab's career is progressing, "Knowing Aftab, on an impulse he would have rejected doing the scene but it's good for him as he is changing his image and this film finally shows him in a different light.

He's shaved off his head, changed his look and is looking much different and is prepared for different roles. He is no more just the cute guy but a handsome man and this movie will put that across, and I definitely encourage him in every aspect." We hope she is not talking about his dud kiss.
