Nikita Dalvi RECALLS Arjun Rampal–Sussanne Khan's Kissing Incident | PINKVILLA

Overview

The subtitles feature Nikita Dalvi (from PINKVILLA) recalling two past celebrity news incidents involving Arjun Rampal and the women around him. Her account focuses on media ethics, PR pressure, and how particular stories were allegedly handled—or suppressed.

Pressure to remove “confirmed” stories (PR vs journalism)

Dalvi argues that once footage or evidence is captured, it should not automatically be removed just because PR teams pressure a channel.

She frames the situation as a recurring conflict between:

• Journalistic reporting backed by sources and footage
• PR campaigns demanding deletion or suppression

First incident: Meher allegedly caught after filming a kissing moment

Dalvi claims that at an Abhishek Kapoor party / birthday party, she had footage showing Arjun Rampal and Sussanne Khan behaving intimately—described as a lip-to-lip kiss—while Meher Jaisia (Arjun’s then-wife) was nearby.

She adds that:

• Meher allegedly came out crying from Abhishek Kapoor’s home
• Dalvi believes the incident/behavior was likely the reason Meher left
• She says she published or reran the story

Aftermath and PR backlash

Dalvi states that Arjun Rampal’s and Sussanne’s PR teams—and later Hrithik’s PR—pressured her channel to remove the footage/story.

She claims:

• The footage was not removed initially
• A second, stronger PR intervention later made removal more likely

Second incident: reportedly deleted footage after direct PR calls

Dalvi describes another situation in which she allegedly filmed the couple after noticing them attending a screening event together without any overt media-facing behavior.

According to her:

• Camera footage captured an intimate moment at a location described as Khar subway
• After the incident, a call from Arjun’s PR requested that the footage be deleted
• She says she complied after channel owners were contacted/pressured
• As a result, the footage did not run

Claim of shifting celebrity relationships over time

Dalvi also offers commentary about how a wider actor friend group—including people she names such as:

• Arjun
• Meher
• Hrithik
• Shahrukh
• Gauri
• others

…reportedly broke down over time.

She suggests that even if individuals remain friendly, the relationship dynamics changed after such controversies.

Reflection on her own reporting experience

Dalvi reflects on earlier work where she was pressured, but says she had support from good bosses/editors, including moments where managers reportedly refused to kill stories.

She mentions one example involving a photo connected to Salman Khan’s rumored relationship (Iulia Vantur), describing it as not “that negative,” and implying it was ultimately handled differently.

Personal working habits and approach to sources

Dalvi shares that she prefers working at night, explaining that:

• It matched her routine from earlier media/TV work
• She believed it was an effective time to speak with security, bodyguards, and drivers outside celebrity events

She also says her sourcing grew organically over time through relationships built around those who operate near celebrities.
