Saga made the revelation during an episode of the Nolly Icons podcast, where he discussed the realities of performing romantic roles on screen.

The actor challenged the popular belief that such scenes are enjoyable.

Saga explained that most actors approach them strictly as part of the job, rather than for pleasure.

“It is not easy to kiss another actor. It is weird,” he said. “It is not something we enjoy. People think we enjoy it, but we don’t. We are just doing it for the story most times.”

Saga added that despite appearing in several romantic productions, he has yet to experience what he considers a comfortable on-screen kiss.

He described the experience as intrusive and technically demanding.

He also recalled a demanding moment on set where he had to kiss multiple co-actors in a single day, highlighting the pressure actors face to deliver convincing performances.

According to Saga, performers deserve greater appreciation for such roles.

He noted that audiences often judge actors without understanding the professional demands behind the scenes.
