Meera and Ashmit Patel in 'Nazar'

Are you making any effort on the personal front?
I will speak to President Pervez Musharraf when I go back. I want 'Nazar' to release there, as my people there really love me.

But 'Mughal-E-Azam' has already been given a go ahead?
See, 'Mughal-E-Azam' a great film. It is a classic and a citizen of UK is holding the rights, so it's easier.

You had said that you were receiving some threats with reference to the kissing scene you have done in 'Nazar'. Are you still receiving those?
Yes, but I don't understand why they are doing it without watching the film. Let's see what happens after the film releases.

Does the kissing issue have to do with the fact that Ashmit Patel is a Hindu?
Yes, it is something like that.

So, do you regret kissing him in the film?
No, I don't. It is not even a kiss. It is just a romantic scene with a small peck on the lips. I don't think I have done anything wrong.

Don't films in Pakistan have kisses?
Of course there are kisses and there are kisses in every film. But in my case, things were different and there were many other reasons as well.
