How Emraan Hashmi's ‘serial-kisser' tag broke him an expensive deal with wife Parveen Shahani
However, did you know that these kissing scenes ended up resulting in the actor paying a price to his wife, Parveen Shahani?
When Emraan Hashmi spilled tea on his curious barter deal with his wife Parveen
Previously, during the launch of his book titled The Kiss of Life, Emraan Hashmi confessed that he was supposed to buy his wife, Parveen Shahani, a bag each time there was a kissing scene in his movies.
The actor mentioned how his wife still sulked over him doing kissing scenes, and it was only buying her bags that could calm her down.
In his words, "Always buy her bags, for every kiss, for every film. She has got a cupboard full of bags, there's one cupboard dedicated to bags.'
How many bags did Emraan gift his wife for his kissing scenes?
In the same event, Emraan Hashmi was asked how many bags in total he had gifted to his wife over his kissing scenes so far, considering the numerous films that have featured such moments.
To clarify the matter, the Gangster actor highlighted that, according to his deal with his wife, he gives her a bag for the movie in which there are on-screen kisses, not the number of times they occur.
He added, 'As many times, but bag is only once. We've had a barter deal; that way, I told her that I'll be broke. Don't take money for everything, take money for the film and buy a bag with it."
Emraan Hashmi's work front
Coming to his work front, Emraan was last seen in the 2025-released film Ground Zero. Moving on, he has Pawan Kalyan starrer They Call Him OG, Adivi Sesh's G2, and Gunmaster G9 on the cards.
Additionally, he recently announced the sequel to his most popular film, Awarapan 2, which is also in the pipeline.

Emraan Hashmi confesses that his on-screen kissing scenes made his wife uncomfortable: 'Doesn't like it...'
Emraan Hashmi confesses that his on-screen kissing scenes made his wife uncomfortable 'doesn't like it..' In the glitzy and glamorous world of Bollywood, sometimes actors have to play bold parts on screen that may grab them a lot of attention but come with a lot of challenges personally. One such similar tale is of an actor who made a name for himself not just through his impeccable acting, but also by doing intimate scenes; he became the face of bold. Labelled the 'serial kisser' of Indian cinema, his acting was sometimes eclipsed by his kissing scenes. The actor that we are talking about is none other than Emraan Hashmi. With films like Murder, Jannat, Gangster, and Raaz, the 'serial kisser' tag followed him for years. While fans enjoyed his romantic on-screen persona, the reality at home was quite different. Emraan's Wife On His Kissing Scenes In an interview, Emraan revealed that his wife and even his father often felt uncomfortable with his repeated intimate scenes in films. 'My wife and my father are always uncomfortable whenever I do an intimate scene,' he said. 'They may not like it, but they understand that I make these choices for my long-term career.' Speaking jokingly, Emraan said, 'It's like Salman Khan not taking off his shirt in a film, the audience feels cheated.' He added that actors often have to do certain things to grab eyeballs of the audience and make them happy. 'Every actor has certain things they do to make the audience happy. This is one of those things. And honestly, it's more fun than taking off your shirt.' Emraan Hashmi on Being Typecast While his fans were entertained by this side of him, the actor confessed to feeling typecast. 'I've realised that the term 'serial kisser' has become synonymous with my name, and I'm not someone who fights it anymore,' Emraan said. Speaking of a funny incident from the 2009 film Tum Mile, in which he starred opposite Soha Ali Khan. 'There's a scene where it's just Soha and me on screen, and it's a typical Emraan Hashmi moment where I'm supposed to kiss the girl, but I didn't. And I heard someone sitting next to me in the theatre say, 'What happened to Emraan Hashmi in this film? Was he sick or something?'' Now Emraan is all geared up to work in more content-driven roles, but his honest confession sheds light on the pressures actors face, not just from the industry or fans, but also within their personal lives.

Emraan Hashmi's Wife Had 'Problems' With Intimate Scenes: 'They Might Not Like It...'
Last Updated: Emraan Hashmi also recalled what happened when he and Soha Ali Khan did not share a lip kiss in their 2009 movie Tum Mile. Emraan Hashmi's films like Murder, Jannat, Gangster, and Raaz: The Mystery Continues did not just make headlines for dark storylines but also for something else – Hashmi's intimate scenes and on-screen kiss with his co-stars. As a result, the actor received the tag of 'serial kisser' in the film industry. However, Emraan had once revealed that his wife had problems with his on-screen image. '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 while talking about the serial kisser label. The actor recalled what happened when he and Soha Ali Khan did not share a lip kiss in their 2009 movie Tum Mile and shared, '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? (Was Emraan Hashmi unwell in this film?).'" The actor then added, 'It's become like Salman Khan not taking his shirt off in a film — the audience feels cheated." Emraan further explained that even though the audience was happy, his wife had problems with his intimate scenes. '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 said. '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," the actor concluded. Meanwhile, Emraan Hashmi was recently seen in Karan Johar's web series, Showtime. He will soon be seen in two Telugu films, OG and G2. Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.
