Emraan Hashmi opens up about the tag of ‘serial kisser’

In an interview with Indian Express, Emraan Hashmi revealed that he benefitted from the tag of a serial kisser for a very long time. And now, he wants to move on from it. Not only this, he also revealed that he gave this tag to himself as a joke but it has been attached to him now.

He called the ‘serial kisser’ tag an absurd name and said, “Then lies an eternal trap for all actors where if you are playing a commercial lead, you will be trapped by a certain archetype of a character or a hero. And here it was this, whatever you call it (serial kisser), it was an absurd name. It was actually given to myself as a joke but stuck with people for some reason. It stuck with the journalists and the audience and it’s not like I didn’t benefit from it. Films were doing really well at the box office.”

Emraan on ‘moving on’ from the tag

Further, he also added, “At one point I felt that it had played its part and I was ready to move on before it was rejected badly. You can’t serve the same dish to people time and again. You have to do something different.” He added that moving on from it was very important to him.
