Dharmendra plays the role of Ranveer Singh's grandfather in Karan Johar's recently released film 'Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani'. Amid losing memory, his character keeps taking the name Jamini, a lady he met just a couple of times during his youth. Jamini is played by Shabana Azmi, who plays Alia Bhatt's grandmother in the film. Alia and Ranveer's characters makes them meet which rekindles their love for each other. 

Shabana and Dharmendra also have a scene where they kiss each other on the lips as their family members look in astonishment, even Jaya Bachchan who plays Dharmendra's wife. Needless to say, the scene also left audience surprised as it is not common of senior actors to do intimate scenes including kissing on the lips. Dharmendra has now reacted to the kissing scene. "I am hearing that Shabana and I have surprised the audience with the kissing scene, and at the same time they have even applauded it. I think people weren’t expecting it and it came very suddenly which is why it created an impact. The last time I did a kissing scene was in Life In A Metro with Nafisa Ali and at that time too people had appreciated it," he told News18.
