Emraan Hashmi's return as Shivam Pandit in Awarapan 2 has sparked plenty of nostalgia among fans, particularly those who remember the actor's iconic romantic image from the early years of his career. While the film has been receiving a positive response from audiences and has performed strongly at the box office, one detail has caught the attention of social media users: there is not a single kissing scene featuring Emraan in the sequel.

Emraan Hashmi sheds his 'serial kisser' image

For years, Emraan was popularly referred to as Bollywood's "serial kisser" because of the numerous intimate scenes in films such as Murder, Zeher and Jannat. His on-screen romantic image became so closely associated with his identity that fans naturally expected Awarapan 2 to include at least one such moment, especially given the actor's pairing with Disha Patani.
