Recently, in an interview, Krishna Kaul opened up about his experience of kissing Ashwath Bhatt in Cartel. The actor told Spotboye that he was reluctant to do it, but it was a character's demand. Hence, he ended up doing it. He said, "When I was told that I needed to kiss a man, I was reluctant. I wasn't sure if that would go with the image of my character in Kumkum Bhagya. They came back to me to narrate the script. And when they did, I was bowled over by the script. My character was someone I've not played before, so it was more exciting for me. It still took me some time to realise that I need to kiss a man on a show. After talking to a few friends, I realised that 'Hey, it's a show and I am an actor. I can't deny these things. So I agreed to the show. When the day of that scene came, I was nervous. I still wasn't sure." 

"When we did the take, I was quite hesitant, and it came across on the screens. Soon we did a take or two, and I got comfortable. I was very chill then. Because then, after a point, I became the character and forgot that I was Krishna Kaul. Eventually, it was all a fun experience for me," added the actor.
