LET'S TRY IT AGAIN: On the sets of Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara in Spain

Although Hrithik has played tonsil tennis with other heroines in the past, this was his first time with Katrina Kaif, so there was a level of discomfort from her side. Also, this is the first time they are working together, so she didn't have the easy on-screen chemistry she does with an Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan or even Ranbir Kapoor.

The duo had to work to get into the comfy zone. They spent a time of time together on the set before the intimate scene was shot. Perfectionist Hrithik wanted to get it right and was suggested rehearsing the smooch before the shoot. A source spills the details on the kiss.

"The scene happens when Hrithik is bidding her goodbye. As soon as he starts walking away, Kat realises she misses him already and rides her dirt bike towards him. She then gets off the bike and plants a wet one on his lips. The scene establishes that she realizes she has strong feelings for him and can't ignore her feelings anymore."

It's relevant
Before shooting the scene, Zoya sat with the actors and stressed on the relevance of the liplock in the scene. She made no bones about the fact that that they look great together, and she wanted to milk their chemistry on 36mm. The source adds, "Hrithik and Kat have done a photo shoot in the past. Apart from that, they haven't interacted a lot socially either, so breaking the ice wasn't easy, but you wouldn't believe that if you see the kissing scene."

On the day of the shoot the actors were heard agonising over how they have to get the scene right. In fact, they shot it several times before Zoya okayed it. "Both actors were professional and completely committed to getting it right, and they did," concludes the insider.
