His
debut
Bollywood
film
Khoobsurat
features
quite
a
few
fudged
kissing
scenes
and
Fawad
Khan,
the
Hindi
film
industry's
new
entrant
from
across
the
border,
says
he
refuses
to
do
intimate
scenes
as
he
doesn't
want
to
hurt
the
sentiments
of
his
core
audience.
He
is
seen
as
one
of
the
most
romantic
hero
in
Pakistan,
and
interestingly
has
earned
the
reputation
without
getting
intimate
in
front
of
the
camera.
In
Khoobsurat
he
is
seen
romancing
Bollywood
style
icon
Sonam
Kapoor.
When
asked
did
you
refuse
to
kiss
in
Khoobsurat
because
of
the
cultural
and
moral
embargo
in
Pakistan,
he
said,
"I
didn't
want
to
hurt
the
sentiments
of
my
core
audience.
The
audience
that
has
got
me
where
I
am.
I
think
I
need
to
respect
their
feelings."
"A
lot
of
my
audience
would
be
quite
offended
if
I
suddenly
started
losing
all
my
inhibitions.
I
just
want
to
prepare
the
audience
for
a
gradual
change."
So
you'll
kiss
in
the
future?
"You
never
know.
I
never
say
never.
I'd
rather
walk
the
unpredictable
path.
Besides,
I'd
never
like
to
throw
in
something
titillating
just
to
spike
and
spice
up
a
film," said
the
actor
who
became
a
sensation
back
home
post
featuring
in
TV
shows
Humsafar
and
Zindagi
Gulzar
Hai.
Tell
him
that
a
kiss
in
Khoobsurat
where
two
people
in
love
express
their
feelings
is
quite
natural,
he
said,
"I
agree.
But
what
I
learnt
from
doing
the
two
popular
Pakistani
serials
'Zindagi
Gulzar
Hai'
and
'Humsafar'
is
that
audiences
appreciate
a
romantic
moment
without
physical
intimacy.
"There
was
not
a
touch
or
a
hug
anywhere
in
either
series.
And
yet
audiences
loved
my
chemistry
with
my
co-stars
(Mahira
Khan
and
Sanam
Saeed).
I
kind
of
like
the
idea
of
virgin
romance
to
just
show
the
couple's
feelings
through
words
and
gestures
and
then
leave
the
rest
to
the
audiences'
imagination," he
said.
