You may call him the serial-kisser but Emraan Hashmi holds completely different views about his
onscreen persona. He says he is no master of kissing. In fact, he is still learning the art of
lip-locking.
Defending his silverscreen romps he says, "A sexual relation can be depicted by showing the
characters kissing and getting physically intimate. How else can you show it? I am a little amused by
all the attention generated by my lip-locks. I quite enjoy the tag and I am totally unapologetic about
it."
Though Emraan's grandmother and father don't like to see him kissing on-screen, his films are a hit
among the younger generation.
Recalling his first attempt at kissing, when he was in class nine, Emraan reveals it was very
embarrassing. "Our teeth clanked and we just could not kiss each other properly," he said.
Emraan is also set to marry his long-time girlfriend soon. So is his image responsible for the sudden
decision to tie the knot? "Not really. Marriage was on my mind always, and I was waiting for the right
time. I guess it's the right time now," he asserts.
