Actress Saanvika, who became a popular name with her portrayal of Rinki in Panchayat, recently shared that she was initially expected to do a kissing scene with Jitendra in season 4.

Speaking to Just Too Filmy, Sanvikaa revealed that she had no idea about the kissing sequence during the narration. “In the beginning, no one said anything when the narration was done. But then, director Akshat talked to me. He said that in this season, we want to have a kissing scene and revealed that they have inserted a scene where Sachiv Ji and Rinki will kiss. Earlier, the scene was different. Both of them are in the car, she falls down, and then they kiss.” She said.

Sanvikaa shared that she needed two days time to decide whether she was comfortable with the scene or not. “So I said, give me two days to think whether I am comfortable doing it or not. Then I thought that Panchayat has all kinds of audiences, but mostly family people.” Saanvika told.

She added, “I was worried about how people would react, and I was also not comfortable. So I refused at that time. But when we were shooting, they removed that scene, but they inserted the tanki scene. They said that we will not show it in a bad way, and shoot it in an aesthetic way. But when we were shooting, it felt awkward. But Jeetu (Jitendra Kumar) is a very nice person. He makes you feel comfortable. Till now, there has been no talk with the family about this. But they understand me a lot, they will deal with it.”
