When Emraan Hashmi revealed his wife and father had a problem with his kissing scenes: ‘But they know these choices are for…’

Emraan Hashmi known for movies like ‘Murder’, ‘Zeher’, ‘Jannat’ and many more is loved by fans for his genre of cinema and music. While one doesn’t get to see that era now, there’s a huge segment of the audience missing that era of cinema and music. Not to mention, most of his movies also included intimate scenes and he got the tag of ‘serial kisser’, but Emraan never really liked it. He admits to not liking the tag and once had recalled an incident when a fan reacted to him not kissing on screen. He had also revealed how his family reacts to his intimate scenes.

The actor had said in an old interview with Rediff, “I’ve realised that the serial kisser tag has become synonymous with me, and I’m not going to fight it.” He said that the audience had these expectations from him and his movies. He said, “I was watching Tum Mile and we got to the scene in which Soha (Ali Khan) and I are alone together. Now, in a typical Emraan film, I’m supposed to kiss the girl. Here I don’t, and I hear the person next to me go, ‘Emraan Hashmi, yeh film main bimaar ho gaya tha kya?’"


He added, “It’s become like Salman Khan not taking his shirt off in a film – the audience feels cheated." That fan reaction was huge for Emraan and spoke volumes about his connection with them. He added, “Every actor has these ‘things’ that are symbolic and have to be done to keep the audience happy. Also it’s a great thing. It’s much better and more fun than taking off your shirt!" He added that he’s aware that this kissing image is just a part of the whole package.

Further revealing how his wife reacts to it, Emraan had said, “As for how his family reacts to all the kissing talk? He said, “They understand that it puts food on the table. My wife and my father have problems with me getting intimate every time, but they know that these are the choices I made for longevity’s sake. They might not like it, but they understand it."
