"Proposed Marriage To Me": Akanksha Puri Says She Doesn't "Regret" Kissing Jad Hadid
'Bigg Boss OTT 2': After her elimination, Akanksha Puri has revealed that Jad Hadid had even "proposed wedding" to her.
Akanksha Puri recently became the fourth contestant to be evicted from the ongoing 'Bigg Boss OTT 2'. However, everyone is still talking about the 30-second kiss she shared with fellow contestant Jad Hadid during a task. Host Salman Khan had called out the duo during the 'Weekend Ka Vaar' episode, saying he does not support this type of content. Salman Khan even apologised to the audience for the same. In the latest entertainment news, Akanksha Puri talked about the kiss, saying it was just a task for her.
“I did three tasks that day, which eventually helped my team win. For me, the kiss was supposed to be just a task. I would have even kissed Pooja Bhatt or Cyrus Broacha if needed. I don’t regret my actions as it wasn’t anything personal for me. There were no feelings involved,” she told the Indian Express.
After the kiss, Jad Hadid had termed Akanksha Puri as a "bad kisser." Talking about the same, the actress said: "Honestly, I was clear in my mind that this will be just a peck that we will hold for 30 seconds. He got carried away and started kissing me but I wasn’t using my lips as I had no feelings for him. That made him say that I was a bad kisser as I was not involved."
"But he is not my partner that I will kiss him nor was I instructed by my director to kiss a co-actor passionately. He didn’t understand that it was a simple task and complicated things for me and even him. It makes him sound stupid that we didn’t share a good kiss as that was never suppose to happen," she added.
For the unversed, Jad Hadid had confided in Pooja Bhatt, Falaq Naaz and Avinash Sachdev, saying he feels uncomfortable with Akanksha Puri getting close to him. He talked about how Akanksha sends him mixed signals, and hugs him tight.
“I felt really bad. I was hugging everyone for Eid and he made fun of that. I have never been very touchy with anyone in the house, as I do not like physical proximity. He was being so stupid to say that and didn’t even have the guts to tell me. Even Jiya called him out and said it was wrong of him to talk behind my back. He did apologise to me but that sounded fake to me just like him. I really don’t appreciate such people and what he did was definitely not right. After saying all this, he even went on to say that he wants to kiss me again," said Akanksha Puri.
“Initially I did like him and how nice he was to everyone. He proposed marriage to me and was even planning an Indian wedding. I was always clear that let’s see what happens as these things are organic. However, as I saw his real side, I was shocked and knew I don’t want such fake people in my life. My perception of him completely changed and I don’t even know who he really is in real life," she added.
