Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi has acknowledged that his wife, Parveen, has had concerns about the intimate scenes he's performed on screen throughout his career. However, he says such scenes have become a trademark part of his roles and are something audiences have come to expect.

In a past interview with Rediff, the actor—known for his roles in Murder, Zeher, Jannat, Gangster, and Raaz: The Mystery Continues—reflected on the long-standing "serial kisser" label associated with him. “I've realised that the serial kisser tag has become synonymous with me, and I'm not going to fight it,” he said.

Recalling a humorous moment during a screening of his film Tum Mile, Emraan shared, “There was a scene where Soha (Ali Khan) and I were alone, and I didn’t kiss her. Someone sitting next to me said, ‘Was Emraan Hashmi sick in this film?’” The remark, though made in jest, reinforced how strongly the image had stuck with his audience.

“It’s like Salman Khan not taking his shirt off—people feel something’s missing,” he added. According to Emraan, actors often carry symbolic traits that audiences come to expect. “Every actor has these signature things. For me, it's the kiss. It keeps the audience happy—and honestly, it’s more fun than taking off your shirt!”

When asked about how his family reacts to his on-screen image, the actor revealed that while they may not always be comfortable with it, they understand the professional choices he's made. “My wife and father do have issues with the intimacy in my films, but they know it’s part of the job and helps sustain my career,” he said.

On the work front, Emraan Hashmi was last seen in Ground Zero.
