On-screen kissing has lost its value says Emraan Hashmi

Emraan Hashmi, who is looked as the crusader of bringing in some boldness in Hindi film industry through his steamy scenes and kissing scenes, now feels that on-screen ‘Kissing’ has lost its importance in the present age because every other movie contains affectionate scenes.

“Kissing scenes lost value long back. I didn’t think it had shock value when I started off but obviously it did. I didn�۪t think about it too much but people around were more conservative than me”, Hashmi told Absolute India.

The actor also expressed desire to play more emotional characters as he is playing in his upcoming flick ‘Hamari Adhuri Kahani’. “I think when mature film comes my way I am spoilt by choice, I want to play more emotional roles. Something in this film has touched me and I want to do more such film that evoke that emotion. I feel the industry will see me in a different light post ‘Hamari Adhuri Kahaani'”, he concluded.

The film, ‘Hamari Adhuri Kahani’ has been directed by Mohit Suri and also stars Vidya Balan and Rajkummar Rao. The movie is scheduled for a 12th June release.
