Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla’s Hum Hai Rahi Pyar Ke turned 30 on July 5. From the stellar performances to the energizing songs, the Mahesh Bhatt directorial holds a special place in our hearts even today. If you remember, actress Navneet Nishan also played an important role in Hum Hai Rahi Pyar Ke. She portrays the character of Maya, the daughter of a prominent businessman who wants to marry Rahul Malhotra, Aamir Khan. With the film crossing three decades this month, Navneet Nishan got nostalgic recalling an incident from the sets of the romantic drama.
Navneet Nishan kissed Aamir Khan 7-8 times
Talking to Hindustan Times, Navneet Nishan shared her experience of kissing Aamir Khan on the cheeks, not once, but several times, to execute the perfect shot on the sets of Hum Hai Rahi Pyar Ke. The 57-year-old revealed that the particular romantic scene shot between her and Aamir was unfortunately removed from the film later.
Hum Hai Rahi Pyar Ke deleted scene
The now-deleted scene featured Navneet Singh’s Nisha kissing Aamir Khan’s Rahul, leaving a lipstick stain on his cheek. Aamir, known as Bollywood’s Mr. Perfectionist, felt the need to shoot the kissing sequence multiple times for the sake of the film’s continuity. For this, the Dangal actor made Navneet kiss him “7-8 times”.

Taking a trip down memory lane, Navneet Nishan said, “There was a cute scene that was edited out, unfortunately. After our engagement, I go to Amir’s house to pick him up and peck him on the cheek. There was a lipstick mark on his cheek when I kissed him. And later Aamir being Aamir said “It has to be in continuity”. And so throughout the day he made me kiss him on the cheek at least 7-8 times.”
Navneet Nishan was nervous during the shooting of Hum Hai Rahi Pyar Ke
After the shoot was over, Navneet Nishan boasted that she had been kissing one of Bollywood’s leading superstars with her friends, and for “a whole day”. “Meri toh lotto nikal gayi,” she said jokingly. Talking about being a part of such a star-studded film, Navneet said she was initially nervous to share screen space with Aamir Khan and Juhi Chawla, under the direction of Mahesh Bhatt. “I was absolutely nobody. And here are these huge stars,” she said, calling it a pleasant and enriching experience.
