The 1933 film Karma, featuring real-life couple Devika Rani and Himanshu Rai, has long been written about as the first-ever Bollywood film to have an on screen kiss and held the title of being "Bollywood's longest kiss ever."
In a report, it has emerged it is not true.
Rai and Rani went on to set up Bombay Talkies, India's first professional film studio, in 1934.
Kishwar Desai, author of The Longest Kiss: The Life and Times of Devika Rani, has finally addressed That Kiss in her book. "The myth is that it's over four minutes long but that is not true," Ms Desai says. "The kiss is obviously not the longest ever in a Bollywood film. To begin with it was not one kiss, it was a series of kisses."
