Nikita Sharma and Ayaz Ahmad have filmed a sex scene for their soap

Sources from the sets of Do Dil Ek Jaan say that for its actors Nikita Sharma and Ayaz Ahmad to film the scene, the makers took absolute care to make them feel at ease with each other and those around.

Says an insider, "There was limited crew at the scene. In the past, we had shot a smooch scene between them and unfortunately it was not involved in the final episode. However this time, we hope it will be accepted by the channel as well as the audience, as it's a pivotal scene."

Actor Ayaz says filming the intimate sex scenes felt quite natural to him and his co-star and he hopes it is to his audience's liking. He says, "I am not a hypocrite to differentiate between television, films and other platforms. My bonding with Nikita made it easier and made me feel comfortable."
