However, speaking along the same lines, the user expressed how Karan Johar has attempted to normalise adultery in real-life relationships through the character track of both Dharmendra and Shabana Azmi. The user wrote:

“Karan Johar and his obsession with infidelity is sickening! Please don’t watch #RockyAurRaniKiiPremKahaani if you’re triggered by adultery. This movie has not only glorified but also JUSTIFIED infidelity! Cheating is never okay, no matter how unhappy you are in your relationship.”

According to these movies, one person has to cheat on their partner in order to find true love’. Yet another netizen expressed, ‘Let’s normalise that adulatory exists along with fidelity. Films like KKHH and K3G give unrealistic views on love and family values'.

When Shabana Azmi reacted to her kissing scene with Dharmendra in RARKPK

Another point of highlight that has been making the film, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani hit all the headlines was due to the passionate kissing scene between Shabana Azmi and Dharmendra. While the audience felt that the scene was totally unexpected, others also began to criticise the veteran actors for doing such a scene at their age.

“I never thought it would create such a fuss! People are laughing and cheering when we do the kiss. While shooting it was never an issue. It is true that I haven’t kissed much on screen before. But who wouldn’t want to kiss a man as handsome as Dharmendra?”
