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."

Emraan Hashmi Says Wife Parveen Had "Problems" With His Intimate Scenes In Films: "These Things Keep The Audience Happy"
New Delhi: Emraan Hashmi, best known for his roles in films such as Murder, Zeher, Jannat, Gangster, Aksar and Raaz: The Mystery Continues, earned him a lasting label, the "serial kisser." What's Happening In an earlier interview with Rediff, Emraan Hashmi addressed the label and said, "I've realised that the serial kisser tag has become synonymous with me, and I'm not going to fight it." Sharing a story from his film Tum Mile, Emraan 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?'" While meant as a joke, the comment highlighted how closely the image had stuck. Emraan added, "It's become like Salman Khan not taking his shirt off in a film, the audience feels cheated." The actor said that he believes that every star has certain expectations tied to them, and in his case, the kiss is simply part of what the audience looks for. 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!" Emraan Hashmi On Family's Reaction Speaking about how his family views his on-screen image, Emraan 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."

Emraan Hashmi's Wife, Dad Had Issues With His Intimate Scenes: 'I Made These Choices For…'
Last Updated: Emraan Hashmi once opened up about the 'serial kisser' tag, fan reactions, and why kissing scenes became his thing. For over a decade, Emraan Hashmi owned a space in Bollywood that few dared to claim. From Murder and Zeher to Jannat, Gangster, Aksar, and Raaz: The Mystery Continues, his films weren't just known for chart-topping music and dark storylines – they also came with a now-iconic stamp: the kiss. Whether fans loved it, trolled it, or leaned into it as part of his identity, the 'serial kisser" tag stuck hard and fast. And Emraan knows it. 'I've realised that the serial kisser tag has become synonymous with me, and I'm not going to fight it," he said in a 2014 interview with Rediff, reflecting on a label that followed him from one role to the next, no matter how much his career evolved. The actor admitted that expectations from his audience have shaped how they react to even the smallest detours from his usual on-screen persona. Sharing a moment from his film Tum Mile, he recalled, '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?'" That fan reaction may have been light-hearted, but for Emraan, it spoke volumes. 'It's become like Salman Khan not taking his shirt off in a film – the audience feels cheated." He's well aware that every actor has a certain 'thing" that fans come looking for. And in his case, the kiss is just part of the package. '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!" But beyond the 'hot scenes' and sexy thrillers, Emraan has taken hits in other ways – like in Ghanchakkar, which completely subverted his action-hero image. Still, Emraan had no regrets. 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."
