Emraan Hashmi, who shot to fame with his breakthrough role in Murder" in 2004, is no mood to run away from the image. "I am not running away from that image (serial kisser)."
The actor said, maybe the audience is finding it difficult to disassociate him from that.
"They can't believe when we say it is a family film with my presence. It is a problem," he told PTI.
"Once you have that stamp of a serial kisser, you can waiver a little bit, experiment with different characters, but there is something that people love you for," he added.
Emraan feels of all the characters he has played, the one with shades of grey has always stood out and made a place in audience's heart.
"It is not just the kisses. It is the reverential, immoral characters that I've played. The lovable negative characters which have grey shades, they are endearing. So that's what they associate with me."
The 37-year-old star is aware that kisses in his films are talked about, and he can never shy away from that. Emraan, however, also feels people talk about it even if there aren't any kissing scenes in his film.
"I can never run away from that, and now I choose not to. If it has to be there, it should be. I do it and get done with it. Because even if it is not there, there is a conversation about the kiss. So there is no running away from the kiss, I've realised that."
