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.

‘It's become like Salman not removing his shirt': When Emraan Hashmi spoke about his wife being uncomfortable with his intimate scenes, embracing the ‘serial kisser' tag
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. 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? (Was Emraan Hashmi unwell in this film?).'' The actor added, 'It's become like Salman Khan not taking his shirt off in a film — the audience feels cheated.' About the expectations attached to an actor's image, he said, '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 not everyone in his life has been fully on board. '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.' Counselling psychologist Athul Raj tells 'Labels often start as strategy. A way to break in, to be seen, to stay relevant. But over time, they take on a life of their own. You're remembered for them, reduced to them, and eventually expected to keep performing them, even when they've stopped feeling true. When that label enters your home — when your partner flinches, your parent goes silent, or your child asks questions — it becomes harder to separate work from identity.' A post shared by Emraan Hashmi (@therealemraan) In families, he notes, especially in Indian homes, success isn't entirely yours. It's collective. A source of pride, but also pressure. That's when the inner split begins. Some learn to compartmentalise. Others change the work, hoping to make peace. 'As a psychologist, I often see the residue of this in clients. It's not just frustration or confusion. It's fatigue. A slow erosion of joy in the work, because the cost of being seen a certain way has started to outweigh the reward,' states Raj. In many Indian families, Raj mentions that careers are 'often tied to the family's pride and social standing. Choosing a different path can feel like defiance, even when it's simply self-direction.' One grounded way to handle this is to release the need for agreement. The goal isn't always validation; it's not to be misunderstood. You don't have to win anyone over. Speak simply, stay rooted, and remain emotionally present. Much of the tension comes from fear, not just of what you'll become, but how the world will treat you. If you can name that fear without taking it on, you stay connected without being consumed by it.
