Owing to his initial films, actor Emraan Hashmi had got the tag of serial kisser. The credit to the tag goes to his intimate moments in films like Murder, Aksar and Crook among others. However, over time the actor expressed a desire to break free from the image and be known for his range as an actor. 

Emraan Hashmi on getting annoyed with serial kisser tag 

While actors often get different tags and names for the movie roles, Emraan was not too happy with the serial kisser tag getting stuck to him. In a recent interview with Ranveer Allahbadia, when asked if he was annoyed by the tag, the actor said, "There was a time when I got a little bit annoyed when I wanted people to take me slightly seriously. See, a large part of my career 2003 to 2012, is chhavi ko is tarah nichoda gaya tha ki wo ek label ban gaya tha, wo marketing main istemaal kiya jata tha. Har film main bina wajah cheezein daali jati thi. Aur media mein bhi jab aata tha ek tag line, toh mere naam se pehle wo tag aata tha - Serial Kisser (This image was utilised in such a manner that it became a label. It was also used as markeing tool. Things were added to films without rhyme or reason. And in media, my name would come with the tag)".
