One might think Rahul Bose is some kisser as Mallika Sharawat passed out while shooting a kissing scene with the actor for their film, Pyar Ke Side Effects.

The film is a romantic comedy with a twist. In it Mallika Sherawat plays a girl who does the chasing as she woos her man, Rahul Bose, and proposes to him.

It has been reported that there is to be an underwater kissing scene between Mallika and Rahul as part of a song sequence.

Well, it was not as straightforward as it sounds. Although she is so often seen in a bikini and swimming costumes, the actress doesn't know how to swim a stroke.

The scene was even more difficult for Mallika in that the water was cold. So, when she began to shiver while shooting the scene, the director, Saket Chaudhary, struck upon what seemed like a good idea, he would warm her by giving her some brandy.

However, the combination of the cold of the water and the effects of the brandy did not sit well with Mallika, causing the actress to pass out, much to the worry of everyone.

After a few worrisome unconscious moments, Mallika came round to everyone's releif.

Pyar Ke Side Effects is slated for a September release with the tagline 'Watch love crash in this season'.
