Emraan Hashmi's On-Screen Image Impacted His Career and Personal Life
Emraan Hashmi, known for his 'serial kisser' image since the mid-2000s, initially sought to move beyond this persona by choosing roles with less on-screen intimacy, such as in Awarapan (2007). Despite this, he later embraced the image in projects like The Body (2019). His on-screen reputation also affected his personal life, as his wife Parveen Shahani's family initially opposed their marriage, mistaking his film persona for his real character. Over time, their reservations eased after getting to know him personally.
