When Salman Khan openly said no to intimate scenes and horror films: 'No sex..., i get scared of...'
When Salman Khan openly said no to intimate scenes and horror films: 'No sex..., i get scared of...' In a career spanning over three decades, Salman Khan has dominated Bollywood with his commanding screen presence and widespread appeal. From wacky comedies like Judwa and Partner , to fully-romantic dramas like Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam , and of course his power-pact action films, all have truly solidified his status as a superstar. However, Salman has purposely stayed away from two genres: explicit films and horror. When Salman Khan openly talked about his 'no kiss, no horror' policy Earlier, in an interview with Rediff, the actor had candidly revealed that he wouldn't be comfortable in doing intimate scenes or horror films. 'No. I get scared of horror films,' He admitted that he never himself explored this genre. Summing up with his trademark honesty, the actor said, 'No sex yet, no horror yet.' Another widely discussed aspect of his on-screen persona is his 'no-kissing' rule. Unlike other stars of his generation, Khan has consistently refused to do kissing scenes on-screen, regardless the role demands or other narrative requirements. What Salman Khan said about his 'no-kiss' policy on The Kapil Sharma Show? His long-standing commitment even became a topic on The Kapil Sharma Show, when he appeared with his brothers Sohail Khan and Arbaaz Khan. Kapil teased him about his no-kiss policy to which Salman humorously responded, 'Dekho kiss toh main karta nahi screen pe toh mujhe toh koi farak padta nai.' While some claim that Khan broke his policy for Karisma Kapoor in Jeet (1996). However, some state that it was only a chin kiss and not a proper kissing sequence. Salman reportedly refused to film a kissing scene with Katrina Kaif for Tiger Zinda Hai (2017) Meanwhile, Salman Khan will next appear in Apoorva Lakhia's Battle of Galwan. The film is based on Galwan Valley clash, a deadly fight between Indian and Chinese soldiers in Ladakh on June 15, 2020. The actor is expected to play the role of Colonel B Santosh Babu, the martyred hero who led the 16 Bihar regiment during the battle.

Why Does Salman Khan Have A No-Kiss Policy For Films? Arbaaz Khan Said, 'Kar Lete Hain Off Screen'
Last Updated: Salman Khan even reportedly refused to kiss ex-girlfriend Katrina Kaif on screen. Bollywood superstar Salman Khan is known for many things—his blockbuster hits, philanthropic work, fitness regime, and his unique choices in cinema. One of the most talked-about aspects of his on-screen persona is his long-standing 'no-kiss" policy. Unlike many of his contemporaries in the film industry, Salman has consistently refused to perform kissing scenes on-screen, regardless of the storyline or the demands of the role. During Salman Khan's old appearance on The Kapil Sharma Show with Arbaaz and Sohail Khan, host Kapil Sharma poked fun at Salman's 'no-kissing" rule. Salman Khan, 'Dekho kiss toh main karta nahi screen pe toh mujhe toh koi farak padta nai." However, it was Arbaaz Khan's reaction that caught everyone's attention and left them in splits. Arbaaz Khan quipped, 'Woh itna kar lete hain off-screen ki zaroorat hi nahi padti!" Even Salman couldn't help but blush at his brother's remark. Some believe that Salman Khan broke his rule for Karisma Kapoor in Jeet. However, others argue that Salman only kissed the actress's chin, and that he has never budged from his policy. In 2017, Salman Khan was asked to film a kissing scene with Katrina Kaif for Tiger Zinda Hai. However, the actor reportedly refused. Deccan Chronicle had quoted a source as saying, 'Everyone felt that just this one time, just once, Salman would break his no-kissing code because the sequence is vital to the plot and also because, well, it's Katrina. But Salman refused outright. Director Ali Abbas Zafar tried his best to convince him. However, nothing worked. The scene has been dropped now." Meanwhile, Salman Khan's upcoming film Battle of Galwan has ignited massive buzz online with its powerful first look. Unveiled on Friday, the motion poster shows Salman in a bloodied, battle-worn avatar, clad in uniform, with an intense moustache and fierce patriotism radiating from his expression. The project is being widely hailed as his long-awaited comeback after the underwhelming response to his last film, Sikandar. Directed by Apoorva Lakhia, Battle of Galwan is based on true events. The release date and full cast details are still under wraps, but the first look has already struck an emotional chord. The Galwan Valley clash, which took place on June 15, 2020, was a deadly skirmish between Indian and Chinese troops in Ladakh. Colonel B Santosh Babu, who led the 16 Bihar regiment, is reportedly the real-life figure Salman portrays in the film. First Published:
