For a film industry that once had flowers coming together to portray a kiss between the hero and the heroine, Bollywood seems to be going bolder by the day. While smooches and intimate scenes are no longer a taboo on TV or the celluloid, going buff for a movie seems to be child’s play for some of our actors.

Film: 'New York' (2009)
