Kissing not my ‘X’ factor: Hashmi

The ‘serial kisser’ tag     does not seem to     leave actor Emraan Hashmi, but he says since every actor is kissing on the big screen, it should not be considered his ‘X’ factor.
“Kissing is the most done thing right now for me. Every actor is doing it nowadays. So, it can’t be a kind of ‘X’ factor for me,” Emraan told.
The 36-year-old, who was in the capital to promote his forthcoming sci-fi film Mr. X with his co-star Amyra Dastur, feels his movies are now catering to the family audience, because of which newcomers are not worried about pairing with him on screen.”Now, I guess newcomers will be less intimidated to work with me and they would know that family audience could watch it. So as I posed for so many (intimate) scenes (in past films), there are only a couple of them in this one,” added the actor, who has locked lips with actresses in films like Murder and The Dirty Picture.
However Amyra, who made her debut with 2013 Issaq did not seem satisfied with Emraan’s answer, and gushed: “I think he will always be known as a serial kisser.”
Asked why experienced actresses in B-town are afraid of working with Emraan, Amyra said: “All the other heroines are very scared of him. So, as newcomers you have to say ‘yes’ to star opposite him. But I think it becomes a great opportunity for young actors to get relaunched opposite such an experienced actor in a film that has got a U/A certificate.
“Emraan will be seen as an invisible ATS officer in Mr. X. (IANS)
