Emraan Hashmi on the benefit of “serial kisser” tag

Since very early on in his career, Emraan Hashmi has been tagged as a “serial kisser” because he had a liplock in most of his films. The actor has recently opened up about how the label has benefitted him.

“A number of my films in which I was shown kissing did very well in the beginning of my career. So that tag naturally became a part of me. People like to label and box things up, and you just can’t hold that against them. And frankly, this was not something I was running away from. I will be honest. I have benefited a lot from it,” said the actor, according to Hindustan Times.

Hashmi also spoke about the tag now being one that he would like to be disassociated with, “When you evolve as an actor and try to explore new and varied avenues, the tag becomes sort of a deterrent for you. People tend to like you more in a particular kind of role. But for every actor, there is a saturation point. I think I have reached it now, and need to find new kind of roles”.

Hashmi’s next movie is ‘Baadshaho’ and is scheduled for release on 1st September.
