Emraan Hashmi is not just a regular movie star. The actor who made his B-Town debut with Footpath in 2003 created a niche for himself and also showed it to the world ‘how bold scenes are performed’ on the celluloid. Tagged as the serial kisser of the industry, Hashmi is still recognised by the same name. Well, before Ranveer Singh and Vaani Kapoor’s 23 steamy kisses in Bifikre, it was Hashmi who introduced passionate kisses in Hindi cinema. Right from the initial stage of his career, it was the star’s liplocks from his films which made him famous. Be it, Mallika Sherawat, to Vidya Balan, Emraan has been lucky to smooch numerous girls from Bollywood. Bard of Blood: Emraan Hashmi's New Look from Shah Rukh Khan's Spy Thriller is Out, Trailer to Release Today.

Earlier, in one of his old interviews with HT, the actor had added on how he has benefitted from the serial kisser tag. He said, "A number of my films in which I was shown kissing did very well in the beginning of my career. So that tag naturally became a part of me. People like to label and box things up, and you just can’t hold that against them. And frankly, this was not something I was running away from. I will be honest. I have benefited a lot from it." Happy Birthday, Emraan Hashmi, stay blessed!
