Ruskin Bond Recalls His Kiss With Priyanka Chopra
India’s favourite storyteller, Ruskin Bond, who will soon be receiving life time achievement award for writing, can’t stop gushing about his celluloid adventure – a guest appearance in Vishal Bhardwaj’s thrilling black comedy ‘Saat Khoon Maaf’ (2011).
Talking to a daily about his brush with cinema, Bond recounted his acting skills in a lighter vein, “In one scene, I had to kiss Priyanka (Chopra) on the cheek in a fatherly fashion. In the first take I knocked off her glasses, after 12 takes the director asked me if I was doing it deliberately. I don’t think I created an impression, as you see I haven’t got any more acting offers since then,” he said. Source
