The incident, which occurred during the shooting of Babumoshai Bandookbaaz, has reignited conversations around consent, professionalism and creative disagreements in the film industry.

At the time, Babumoshai Bandookbaaz was being filmed with Chitrangada Singh and Nawazuddin Siddiqui in lead roles. Reports suggest that during the shoot, the actress was asked to perform a highly intimate kissing sequence. However, she allegedly became uncomfortable with the manner in which the scene was being directed and filmed.

Sources claim Chitrangada raised objections to the sequence and expressed her concerns to the filmmakers. The disagreement reportedly escalated into a serious conflict between the actress and the film’s director.

Rather than compromise on what she believed were her professional boundaries, Chitrangada decided to leave the project altogether. Her sudden exit created a major buzz in Bollywood at the time and became one of the most talked-about controversies surrounding the film.

Following her departure, the makers recast the role and brought actress Bidita Bag on board to complete the project opposite Nawazuddin Siddiqui.

The controversy had generated widespread discussion within the entertainment industry, with many debating the importance of clear communication, consent and mutual understanding between actors and filmmakers while filming intimate scenes.

Now, years later, the issue has resurfaced after being discussed in a recent podcast, once again drawing attention to an incident that had made headlines across Bollywood.
