Akanksha Puri says kiss with Jad Hadid made made her ‘feel awkward’, he says, ‘It meant nothing to me’

She said on Friday’s episode, “I wanted Jad to understand that as an Indian female artist, the kiss made me feel awkward… I expected him to come and speak with me, to clear out my headspace about the whole situation. Communication is important, and I needed that reassurance.”

While Akanksha said that she wanted to communicate with Jad after the kiss, the Lebanese model on the other hand has revealed that the kiss didn’t make him “feel anything”. Talking to fellow contestants Pooja Bhatt and Avinash Sachdev, he said, “I wanted to have a deeper conversation and then everything became shallow. Now she is trying to hug me, come close to me. I don’t have the guts to tell her but I don’t feel anything.”

While the Bigg Boss OTT 2 housemates shrugged off the task as “one-off”, the kiss has caused quite an uproar on social media. A section of viewers called the reality show “TRP hungry.”

While talking to contestant Jiya Shankar, Jad opened up about his evolving equation with Akanksha, whom he said was hitting on him. He said, “She (Akanksha) asked me to come close and she’s been giving me those signals. She is giving me signals that she wants, but I am off it. I lost interest completely. That kiss was for a game and meant nothing to me. I wanted it at the beginning. But now I am off it. She was shivering. She had guts.”
