Bollywood star Emraan Hashmi has been labelled for the longest time as a ‘serial kisser’ in the celluloid. The actor never blamed the audience for the same. Rather, he admitted that it was a selling point for the producers and himself.  Emraan further stated that the ‘serial kisser’ image was set for almost 7-8 years which producers were selling. The actor also said that every star has their own patent thing to set their image. 

In an interview with Shubhankar Mishra, Emraan said “I think bahot saare artists ke sath ek patent cheez ho jaati hai, ek image set ho jaata hai, aur wo unka saath nahin chodhta hai (With many artists it becomes a patent thing, an image is set, and it doesn’t leave them).”

He further gave examples such as Shah Rukh known known for his open arm pose, Salman Khan takes off his shirt while dancing and Anil Kapoor says ‘Jhakaas’, and he has been identified as a serial kisser image.

“I don’t blame the audience. A large part of my career until 2009, 7-8 saal tak, woh image tha mera jo producers sell kar rahe the. Mai khud sell kar raha tha (A large part of my career till 2009, for 7-8 years, it was my image that the producers were selling. I was selling it myself),” the actor added. 

The second part of Emraan’s Showtime will be released on 12th July. The Disney Plus Hotstar web series stars Mahima Makwana, Rajeev Khandelwal, Mouni Roy, Shriya Saran, Naseeruddin Shah and Vishal Vashishtha in pivotal roles. Other than the web show, he will also be seen in the Telugu film OG. The movie features Pawan Kalyan, Priyanka Mohan, Arjun Das, Sriya Reddy and Shaan Kakkar in significant roles. Directed by Sujeeth, the movie is scheduled to be released in theatres in 2025.
