Tanushree Dutta recently opened up about her experiences with Emraan Hashmi during the filming of their three collaborations – Aashiq Banaya Aapne (2005), Chocolate: Deep Dark Secrets (2005), and Good Boy, Bad Boy (2007). The two actors gained notoriety for their steamy kissing scenes, particularly in Aashiq Banaya Aapne, which made waves in Bollywood.

In a recent interview, Dutta candidly shared insights into her on-screen chemistry with Hashmi. She revealed that despite the perceived comfort in their kissing scenes, both actors were not entirely at ease with the intimate scenes. Dutta recalled an awkward kissing scene from the movie Chocolate, which was eventually left out of the final cut. She mentioned that the first time they shot a kissing scene, it was uncomfortable, but with subsequent attempts, the awkwardness lessened. Dutta emphasized that their lack of real-life chemistry contributed to the discomfort, stating, "He does have a kisser-boy image, but he is not the most comfortable kisser. And neither am I."
