Hot Pics: Mallika, are you aware of Bollywood's bold kissing history?

We do not know if it's just a publicity stunt or a conscious statement made by actress Mallika Sherawat at the Cannes. But her recent offending remarks against India has not only shocked the nation, but also the Bollywood film fraternity are left speechless. In a recent interview given to 'The Variety Studio: Cannes Edition', Bollywood actress Mallika Sherawat expressed her views about Indian society and how she relates to her character in forthcoming film Dirty Politics.

Sherawat further went on saying that she was the first actress in India to kiss on screen and wear a bikini. "I was the first actress in India to kiss on screen and wear a bikini," the actress stated. Well, on that perspective, we agree that Mallika Sherawat has set a benchmark in kissing in the industry, with her films like Murder and Khwahish. But, as she claims, Sherawat is certainly not the first Indian actress to liplock onscreen or sport a bikini.

A smooching scene still raises eyebrows today. But the kissing phenomenon is nothing new to Bollywood. The films of 20s and 30s had a liberal dose of sex and kissing scenes. The first onscreen kiss in the history of the Indian cinema was shot back in 1933 between Devika Rani and her husband Himanshu Rai in Karma.

Bollywood have had a history of some hot and boldest onscreen smooching. Also, several yesteryear Bollywood actresses like Zeenat Aman, Parveen Babi, Sharmila Tagore and many more had created a sensation years back, by sporting bikini onscreen. So, now the key question lies, on what basis did Sherawat claim herself as the first Indian actress to kiss onscreen and sport a bikini?
