Indian movies can do without kissing scenes: Saif

Saifina had stated before marriage that there won't be any kissing onscreen for either of them.

MUMBAI (Web Desk) - Actor Saif Ali Khan believes that Indian movies can do without kissing scenes.

During a conversation on TV show, host Anupama Chopra asked Saif about a statement that he and his now wife Kareena Kapoor gave before marriage - about a commitment that there won t be any kissing onscreen for either of them.

Chopra asked Saif if there are any other rules as actors that the couple has imposed on each other.

He said: "No. I wouldn t even say that s in place. I don t think it s a function of being in a relationship. I have done films like  Salaam Namaste  a long time ago. In India, it is not required in our films to have kissing scenes. I don t think it s required to be overly sexual. It doesn t suit us."

Kareena has also kissed on screen in "Tashan", "Jab We Met", " 3 Idiots" and "Heroine". But her husband believes "it doesn t work onscreen".

"Nobody looks comfortable doing it. And slowly, slowly reports filter through that when somebody has tried to be a little risque, that people don t seem to like it. I think the kind of cinema we have, we are a hypocritical culture.
