Meet Bollywood's Latest Serial Kisser

The social media and industry watchers have been so monumentally distracted by Tiger Shroff’s metamorphosis that it has completely escaped our collective notice that the actor has dedicatedly puckered up to all his leading ladies. His first film, Heropanti, had the 25-year-old actor kissing fellow debutante, Kriti Sanon, in the song “Raat Bhar”. Then, Tiger cosied up to his second co-star and childhood friend, Shraddha Kapoor, in Sabbir Khan’s next, Baaghi. The film also had the winsome twosome sharing a playful peck in the rain which later culminates into a full-blown smooch right before the song, “Sab Tera”. This was followed by the T-Series music video for the single “Befikra” in which kisses punctuate Tiger’s reel romance with his rumoured real-life girlfriend, Disha Patani. Now, in Remo D’Souza’s A Flying Jatt, the superhero locks lips with Jacqueline Fernandez at the end of the song, “Beat Pe Booty”. A source close reveals that the kiss wasn’t a part of the script. “Remo wanted them to dance close and said that if they felt that the song required a kiss, they could go for it,” adds the source. Tiger’s first co-star Kriti had said in a promotional interview around the release of Heropanti that she’d initially asked director Sabbir if the kiss could be avoided. Interestingly, the launch vehicle even had a ditty dedicated to kisses -- “The Pappi Song”. Come to think of it, this extended chumma marathon explains the unusually r-ed lips of Jackie’s cub.
