Emraan Hashmi wants to kiss in the air - For 2006, this Hindustan Times piece wins the award for absolutely most retarded subject matter

Newspapers appealing to the lowest common denominator. I like Emraan Hashmi. He is a terrible actor and his movies suck but usually there is a good song or two. And Emraan gives me hope that a slightly above average looking dude like myself can get into Bollywood and make out with some certified hot-ass Indian girls.

That said, this article which appeared in the Hindustan Times is so utterly useless, I had to say something. The crux of the article is about the fact that our boy Emraan has had some provocative kissing scenes (by Indian standards) on land and underwater and how he is looking forward to doing a kiss in the air. This is news?

First of all, when Emraan kisses on land, he is kissing "in the air" but basic facts aside, why would a supposedly decent newspaper publish utter crap like this? The serial kisser as the press likes to call him had this to say -- "I have kissed on land and have done similar things under water too (in the film Gangster). Now all that is left is doing the same in air. I think the best way would be doing it by hanging from a hot air balloon," states Emraan. Great quote E.

BTW, why is kissing so taboo in Bollywood? As a country, it's obvious we like to have sex. Why the prude view on kissing?

P.S. Malaika Sherawat is pretty damn hot.
