More than two decades into his career, Emraan Hashmi remains one of Bollywood's most recognisable faces, yet the serial kisser label from his early years continues to trail him. In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, the Taskaree star spoke candidly about how the tag came to define a phase of his journey, how he leaned into it, and why he eventually chose to move on. Hashmi made his acting debut with Footpath in 2003, but it was Murder (2004) that turned him into a household name.
