Call
it
the
coming
of
age
of
Bollywood.
But
in
2013,
more
mainstream
actors
did
lip-locks
than
in
any
recent
year.
Here's
saluting
the
10
best
kisses
of
the
year:
1.
Imran
Khan-Anushka
Sharma
in
Matru
Ki
Bijlee
Ka
Mandola:
This
may
have
been
the
year
of
disasters
for
Imran
Khan.
But
there
was
silver
lining.
It
was
also
the
year
when
Imran
got
to
kiss
the
feisty
Anushka
Sharma...
with
wife
Avantika's
kind
permission.
And
it
was
a
pretty
torrid
kiss.
Curiously
Imran
has
an
unwritten
no-kiss
clause
in
his
contract,
which
he
broke
for
a
film
that
was
a
box
office
dud.
Moral
of
the
story
-
exercise
your
smooching
options
more
intelligently.
2.
Arjun
Rampal-Chitrangda
Singh
in
Inkaar:
Chitrangada's
doddering
marriage
must
have
suffered
another
minor
dent
when
she
went
dental
with
Arjun
Rampal
in
Sudhir
Mishra's
film
on
sexual
harassment.
For
a
woman,
who
accused
the
guy
of
acting
fresh,
Chitrangda
sure
seemed
to
savour
the
smooch
with
Rampal.
Full
marks
for
professionalism.
3.
Ayushmann
Khurrana-Pooja
Salvi
in
Nautanki
Saala:
This
kiss
created
the
biggest
stir,
and
we
aren't
talking
box
office.
Ayushmann's
wife
objected
violently
to
his
nine-second
smooch
in
this
dud
of
a
film.
Ayushmann
maintained
it
was
all
a
part
of
a
daze,
sorry
day's,
work.
Chal
hatt,
natkhat.
Nautanki
saala!
4.
John
Abraham-Kangana
Ranaut
in
Shootout
At
Wadala:
John
played
a
gangster.
Kangana
played
his
girl.
They
obviously
didn't
meet
to
discuss
the
weather.
John
and
Kangana
scorched
up
the
screen
with
a
kiss
that
made
the
censor
board
blush.
This
couple
definitely
knows
how
to
kiss.
5.
Ranbir
Kapoor-Deepika
Padukone
in
Yeh
Jawaani
Hai
Deewani:
It
was
a
very
soft
kiss,
done
at
a
crucial
juncture
in
the
plot.
But
no
passion.
Just
a
shy
brush
of
the
lips
suggesting
less
passion
more
affection.
This
is
how
friends
greet
each
other
when
they
stop
being
lovers.
Awwww!
6.
Ranveer
Singh-Deepika
Padukone
in
Ram
Leela:
Deepika's
kissed
with
far
more
passion
with
Ranveer.
This
was
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali's
first
tryst
with
the
liplock.
And
what
a
smooch-o-thon
this
lead
pair
whipped
up.
7.
Sushant
Singh
Rajput-Parineeti
Chopra
in
Shuddh
Desi
Romance:
These
two
played
horny
live-in
lovers.
Nothing
'shuddh'
(pure),
nothing
'desi',
and
no
romance...
just
plain
horniness
expressed
in
feverish
fits
of
lip-to-lip
interaction.
How
Sushant's
possessive
girlfriend
responded
to
this
'ardour'-worldly
connect
is
not
known.
8.
Emraan
Hashmi-Vidya
Balan
in
Ghanchakkar:
With
so
many
new
smooching
couples
on
the
screen
this
year,
serial
kisser
Emraan
was
almost
left
behind.
He
made
up
for
'lust'
time
with
Vidya
Balan,
who
wanted
to
prove
she
was
not
inhibited
by
marriage.
Unimpressive,
clumsy
and
embarrassing
kissing
on
evidence
here.
Let
it
be.
9.
Aamir
Khan-Katrina
Kaif
in
Dhoom
3:
This
is
her
annual
Yash
Raj
(Yash
Raj
Films)
liplock.
Last
year
she
seduced
the
'no-kiss-clause'
Shah
Rukh
Khan
to
break
his
vow
for
a
bit
of
wow
in
Jab
Tak
Hai
Jaan.
Now
Aamir,
who
has
kissed
many
a
heroine
in
the
past,
manages
to
plant
a
furtive
kiss
on
Katrina's
trembling
lips
in
Dhoom
3.
If
only
Salman
would
make
an
exception
and
kiss
his
former
ladylove,
Katrina
would
have
the
slurpy
distinction
of
smooching
all
the
three
Khan
superstars.
10.
Randeep
Hooda-Saqib
Saleem
in
Bombay
Talkies:
Mainstream
Hindi
cinema's
first
gay
kiss
was
understandably
brutal
and
brief.
Ouch.
Hats
off
to
the
two
actors
for
flirting
with
the
forbidden.
