Emraan Hashmi, formerly dubbed the ‘serial kisser’ of Bollywood, recently discussed his transition away from filming kissing scenes. In an interview, he also touched upon his wife’s perspective on the matter, revealing her initial concerns despite his efforts to alter his image. Hashmi expressed frustration over producers continuing to exploit his established persona despite his attempts to tone it down.

During a conversation with Bollywood Hungama, Emraan Hashmi was questioned about his decision to cease filming ‘kiss scenes’ in movies.

“It’s the voice of my wife and I listen to that. I haven’t added any kissing scenes in my films. In fact, from the beginning I wanted to tone it down in films, but an image of mine was created and a lot of producers took advantage of that.” Emraan said.

“It became a staple thing to please the audience. When I see my films, I honestly feel that in some places those scenes weren’t required, but it was an awakening for an audience also. It was a lead for cinema, but I received the flak.” he added.
