Emraan Hashmi, who has earned the tag of Bollywood’s ‘serial kisser’ for his bold acts and Casanova roles, says he has “contaminated” the tinsel town with his infamous lip locks. “I have contaminated the film industry. If not I, then someone else would have done those bold acts. Cinema has to evolve. I was the face of something that was bold, that raised eyebrows.
Some of the cultural dictators of the film industry said what he (Emraan) has done, this is not Bollywood, what kind of films are these, this is not our culture,” Emraan told reporters. “As far as audience wants to see it then how can it be wrong and as long as there is market for this. Sexuality, boldness, vulgarity…it depends on every person, everyone has a different perception,” he said.
Ask him if the ‘serial kisser’ tag has helped him or damaged his reputation, Emraan said, “I don’t know if it is still helping me or damaging my career right now. Something is working…because my films are working. Eventually no one gives a damn about what someone writes or thinks about the onscreen image. As long as your products like ‘Dirty Picture’, ‘Murder’ are good no one really thinks of the image.”
