Emraan Hashmi on his serial kisser tag
During an interview with The Indian Express, Emraan Hashmi discussed his acting career and how he handled the label of “serial-kisser.” He stated, “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.”
According to the Tiger 3 actor, the name stuck with audiences and journalists, and he benefited from it because his films did well at the box office. Emraan did, however, add that he moved on after realising that the audience had rejected the tag. “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.
