Rivalry with John Abraham? In an old conversation with Siddharth Kanan, Dino explained that there was never any tension between them, and the talk of a feud only emerged after his breakup with Bipasha Basu, when John began dating her. The media, Dino noted, played a big role in fueling that narrative. In reality, the duo has always shared a friendly rapport and continue to stay in touch—he even mentioned texting John recently to plan a bike ride or a coffee meet-up. Reflecting on their parallel journeys from modeling to acting, Dino expressed admiration for John's growth and professionalism, adding that both of them helped break the stereotype that models can't act. The truth about the Bipasha timeline Morea also shed light on the timeline of events, clarifying that there was no overlap between his relationship with Bipasha Basu and her later romance with Abraham. According to him, he and Bipasha had broken up almost a year before she began dating John, and by then, he had already moved on with someone else. Despite this, public perception painted a different picture, with many assuming John had come between them.

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.
