Comedian-actor Vir Das has strongly reacted to journalist Simi Chandoke's claim about his kissing scene with Kangana Ranaut in Revolver Rani. Chandoke alleged that the actress did not stop kissing Das even after the scene had ended, leaving him with an injured lip. Recalling the incident, she had said, "Bichare ka lip kaatke khoon-khoon kar diya usko."
Vir Das Shuts Down Viral Kangana Ranaut Kiss Scene Claim
Days later, Vir dismissed the journalist's account as "pure fiction" and shut down the claim. Taking to his X (formerly Twitter) handle, he wrote on Sunday, June 28,"Right. Just so we are clear. This story is pure fiction. Kangana was a complete professional and I still maintain, a truly gifted artist. This is unfair slander to her."

Furthermore, Vir revealed that the journalist had called him a "terrorist" a few years later over his comedy. However, he clarified that during the filming of Revolver Rani, there were "no problems at all" on set.
What Journalist Simi Chandoke Said
Appearing on Siddharth Kannan's podcast, journalist Simi Chandoke shared, "When she was shooting, Vir Das ko apne podcast pe laayi. Shayad woh ro padega, thinking of that traumatic time he went through. When she was shooting for Revolver Rani, the scene required her to kiss him deeply. Woh bhul gayi. Scene khatam ho gaya, continued... Bichare ka lip kaatke khoon-khoon kar diya usko."
As of now, Kangana Ranaut has not reacted to the journalist's viral claims.
