Akanksha Puri Opens Up On Changing Her Mindset After The Kiss Incident

Bigg Boss OTT 2, contestant Akanksha Puri recently found herself at the center of attention after being tasked with a rather unconventional challenge. The task, assigned by fellow housemate Avinash Sachdev, involved Puri sharing a passionate kiss with contestant Jad , leading to a mixed reaction among viewers and social media users. During the task, Puri and Had, seemingly caught in the heat of the moment, engaged in a steamy lip-lock that lasted for a surprising 30 seconds.

Akanksha is the latest contestant to get evicted from the reality show, Bigg Boss OTT 2 house. Her eviction was announced by the Bollywood superstar and show’s host, Salman Khan during the Weekend Ka Vaar episode. She was nominated with co-contestants Abhishek and Jiya Shankar and in this exclusive interview with Pinkvilla, the actress said that Jiya deserved to be out of the house and not her. Apart from that, she addressed the most-discussed topic, her kiss with Jad Hadid and the controversies surrounding it.  Speaking about it, Akanksha Puri said,  took it too personally, he wanted it to be like a proper kiss between two lovers where you have to have that passion, you have to move your lips, your tongue, your this and that. I didn’t want to do that and that’s why I didn’t reciprocate the way he wanted me to, and that’s why he felt, ‘Oh my God, you are a bad kisser.’ Excuse me! It was not about kissing and neither did I have a director here, who gave me a brief that ‘Akanksha, it has to look in a certain manner.’ It was just a task that I had to finish in 30 seconds, which I did and I won.”

She called out Jad Hadid by further adding, “After the kiss, he went and said, ‘Oh my God, I wish to kiss you again, I love those lips.’ So, that’s all stupid and baseless. For me, it was just a task, where instead of Jad, I would have kissed some prop because it literally doesn’t matters to me. However, I am glad that it was Jad, who I had to kiss because I was comfortable with him. I did it and I am happy I kissed and I won.”
