The Kapil Sharma Show: Taapsee Pannu laughs as Tahir Raj Bhasin answers if they ‘sanitized lips’ for Looop Lapeta kiss scene

Anointing the kiss as ‘an exchange of oxygen’, Kapil asked Taapsee and Tahir if they ‘sanitized their lips’ before they kissed for the camera, owing to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. “Aapne apne hothon ko sanitise kiya ya ek doosre ka RT-PCR dekh ke hi (Did you sanitize your lips or was looking at each other’s RT-PCR report enough)…?” Kapil asked.

Tahir answered back, “Taapsee ko oxygen dene ke liye mere ko koi RT-PCR inki dekhne ki zaroorat nahi hai, bhai. Kabhi bhi bula lo mereka (I don’t need to check Taapsee’s RT-PCR report before kissing her, call me anytime).” His reply left Taapsee in splits. Archana Puran Singh was also heard laughing behind the frame.

Looop Lapeta is adapted from the German empirical thriller Run Lola Run and is helmed by debutant director Aakash Bhatia. The Indian version of the time-looping film revolves around Savi, who is portrayed by Taapsee, trying to save the life of her boyfriend Satya, played by Tahir, when he loses cash belonging to a mobster in a gambling bid. The film is slated to be released on Netflix.
