By Gossips Tv : The recently aired scene featuring a lip-lock between Mishkat Varma (Adhiraj) and Pankhuri Gidwani in Sony TV’s Kavya – Ek Jazbaa, Ek Junoon which also stars Sumbul Touqeer Khan (Kavya) . has sparked a wave of controversy among Indian television audiences.
In a country where traditional values often dictate the content of mainstream television, such displays of affection are rarely shown, making this scene particularly provocative. Fans and critics alike have taken to social media to express their displeasure, arguing that the intimate moment was unnecessary and distasteful for a family-oriented show.
Many viewers, who have been following the show for its storyline and strong performances, feel betrayed by this sudden turn. The criticism stems from the belief that Indian television content has always maintained a conservative boundary, avoiding overt romantic or physical intimacy. Some fans have gone so far as to call the scene “cheap” and inappropriate for the tone of the show.
This incident has ignited a broader conversation about the changing landscape of Indian television and whether it should evolve to incorporate more progressive themes or remain rooted in its traditional portrayal of relationships. The backlash, however, indicates that viewers may not yet be ready for such shifts in content.
