Hrithik has said that the movie “Kites” is not about sex and lust as a small segment of media telling in its reports.

Kites is a love story. It’s about people in love. And what do people in love do to express their mutual feelings?

Hrithik says, “Why are we even talking about kissing? Is that such a big deal? Hasn’t our cinema grown up? Yes, there’re kissing scenes in the film, but nothing to make me squirm.”

Barbara in a thick Spanish accent admitted, “When I came to India and saw few Hindi films I realized actors here don’t kiss onscreen. They just come close and hug! I then wondered how will the audience in India accept the film as Hrithik and I have kissed and made love in the film! I told Hrithik about it and he made me feel comfortable about it. I didn’t know him before I signed Kites but I googled and searched him on You Tube. Only when I reached India and saw the massive stardom and fan following he enjoys did I realize how big a star he is.”

Hrithik added, “A lot has been said about the kissing scene in Kites but let me tell you the film is not about sex, lust, passion, animal instincts. It is a beautiful sensual love story. As far the kiss is concerned, I was trying my best to make Barbara comfortable while she in return was trying to do the same.”
