Panchayat Season 4 is finally here, and it’s stirring up conversations—not just for its political twists, but for a tender moment between Abhishek Tripathi (Jitendra Kumar) and Rinki (Sanvikaa). One particular scene involving an implied kiss had fans raising eyebrows—and actress Sanvikaa has now shared what really went down behind the scenes.
Sanvikaa Felt ‘Uncomfortable’ With the Original Scene
In a recent interview with Too Filmy, Sanvikaa revealed that the initial narration for the show didn’t include a kissing scene. “I wasn’t told about it at first,” she said. “Later, the director told me the makers wanted to add a kiss. I asked for two days to think it over.”
The original scene had both characters sitting in a car, where Rinki falls, and the kiss happens. But Sanvikaa had concerns—especially since Panchayat is widely watched by families across India. “I was honestly worried about how people would react. It just didn’t feel right for the vibe of the show.”

The Tank Scene Was a Last-Minute Change
Eventually, the team scrapped the car scene and came up with a more subtle version: the now-viral water tank scene. “They told me it would be shot aesthetically and wouldn’t look vulgar,” Sanvikaa explained. “But honestly, even during filming, it still felt a bit awkward.”
She also clarified that the final version wasn’t a literal kiss—it was more of a suggestive moment, something reminiscent of the old-school Bollywood style.
Jitendra Kumar Helped Ease the Awkwardness
Thankfully, co-star Jitendra Kumar helped make things easier on set. “He was very supportive and made sure I was comfortable,” she said. As for her family’s reaction? “We didn’t talk about it in detail, but I think they’ll understand. They know this is part of the job.”
Fans Have Mixed Reactions—But the Chemistry’s Real
Since the show dropped on Prime Video last week, the internet has had mixed opinions. While some fans loved the growing romantic tension between Abhishek and Rinki, others were taken aback by the unexpected shift in tone.
But one thing’s for sure: Sanvikaa and Jitendra’s chemistry is undeniable, and their story arc adds a refreshing emotional layer to the rural political drama.
