Kanika Mann Wanted To 'Avoid' Kiss Scene With Arjun Bijlani: 'Main Comfortable Nahi Thi'
Roohaniyat has two seasons. While the first season was released on Prime Video in March 2022, the second season premiered in July of the same year. Kanika Mann has revealed that she cried while shooting a kissing scene with Arjun Bijlani for their web series, Roohaniyat. In a recent interview, the actress opened up about her intimate scenes with Arjun, who is 11 years elder to him. Kanika mentioned that she wasn't comfortable doing a kiss scene and therefore started crying on the sets of Roohaniyat. When Arjun saw her reacting this way, he walked off, thinking it was him who made her uncomfortable. 'I cried while doing that scene. I was not comfortable. There are multiple people on sets. Yes, they reduce the number of people on sets while filming such scenes but even then, it was weird and I started crying. I told them, 'let's avoid this'. Arjun felt off. He thought he made me feel uncomfortable. He left the sets. I apologised to him. He is my senior. He made me learn a lot. I respect him so much. I apologised to him and we did that scene, comfortably," Kanika told Filmygyan. Roohaniyat has two seasons. While the first season was released on Prime Video in March 2022, the second season premiered in July of the same year. Previously, Kanika talked about the show in a statement and said, 'When I read the script of Roohaniyat, it had me hooked from the very start. Prisha is an unpredictable girl who believes in the concept of true love and soulmates. I could relate to that character being a hopeless romantic myself. I hope the audience enjoys the series and appreciates our work." Her co-star, Arjun Bijlani, also added, 'Shooting for this series has been an amazing experience. This show is all about finding answers to whether love forever exists. This is not your usual love story. It has twists and turns that no one expects. I can't wait to see the audience reaction to the trailer." First Published: July 30, 2025, 16:38 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
