The scenes in question were shot in a special sequence of the show in Macau, where the cast of the show had gone. Unbeknownst to Sumit, his girlfriend flew down to Macau to surprise him. There, she saw a drenched Sumit locked in an intimate embrace with Rati while shooting for the scene.
"The scene required Rati to push Sumit into a canal and later have a drenched Sumit sharing an intimate moment with her. No one expected his girlfriend to show up when she did, much less have her witness the scene, " a source said.
"There is no denying that the chemistry between Rati and Sumit was explosive to say the least. But then, as a partner to an actor, one expects that she would understand that an actor is required to enact all sorts of scenes, " the source added.
The actor is ever since trying to mend things with his girlfriend.
