Summary
- Many Bollywood actors refuse kissing scenes due to personal and professional ethics.
- Salman Khan and Sonakshi Sinha are long-time proponents of the no-kissing policy.
- Tamannaah Bhatia recently broke her 18-year no-intimacy rule for a specific film.
A notable trend within the Indian film industry sees numerous actors adhering to a 'no-kissing' policy, reflecting personal beliefs and professional choices. Stars like Salman Khan have consistently opted for family-oriented projects, explicitly avoiding intimate on-screen moments.
Sonakshi Sinha and Jannat Zubair are also recognized for maintaining this stance throughout their careers. Asin, known for her roles in films like Ghajini, also respected this boundary. Shilpa Shetty has expressed a similar preference, wanting her children to be able to watch her work, which influences her project selection.
In a recent evolution, Tamannaah Bhatia decided to break her nearly 18-year-long no-intimacy clause for the film Lust Stories 2. She collaborated with director Sujoy Ghosh, whom she wished to work with, and felt it was a personal evolution to step out of her previous comfort zone.
Mrunal Thakur has also openly discussed her discomfort with kissing scenes, leading her to decline certain roles. These decisions highlight a spectrum of personal and professional boundaries within Bollywood regarding on-screen intimacy.
