After weeks of its release on the streaming platform, the Family Man actor Shahab has revealed that some of his scenes with actress Samantha Ruth Prabhu were edited out in the final cut of the show. He said that the storyline had a romantic angle between Shahab’s character Sajid and Samantha’s Raaji. In an interview with Bollywood Hungama, Shahab said that some ‘suggestive scenes’ did not make it to the final cut because they weren’t relevant to the essence. “We did some suggestive scenes that suggested that they fall in love towards the end. But those scenes were not making sense for the creators, or maybe the platform. So, those scenes were edited out. There are so many scenes edited out, so it is not a big deal. That is the process,” he said. Shahab said: “It is not just the intimate scenes. It was the usual process – you have a lengthy show and there is the process of editing which comes later. It was not like a particular scene was edited out.” He added: “I think only those scenes were retained that were required and logical.”
