Hashmi articulated, "This is in accordance with my wife's wishes, and I respect her opinion. I abstain from portraying kissing scenes in my movies. In fact, I've intended to minimize such scenes in films from the outset, but I became associated with a particular image, and many filmmakers capitalized on it." The actor acknowledged the scrutiny and criticism that often accompanied his earlier works, acknowledging the significance these scenes held in satisfying audience expectations while also expressing his personal reservations regarding their necessity.
Respect for Family and Relationships:
Reflecting on the impact of his cinematic choices, Hashmi remarked, "While reviewing my films, I genuinely believe that certain scenes were unnecessary, yet they also served as an awareness tool for the audience. It set a precedent for cinema, but it came with criticism." Despite the creative and commercial success some of these scenes may have garnered, Hashmi's primary concern lies in maintaining harmony within his personal life, particularly in his relationship with his wife.
