However, Emraan has set the wheels into motion. During an interview, Emraan claimed that when he had to do his first on screen kissing scene, he was extremely nervous and had half a mind to opt out of the scene before going ahead and doing it.
Emraan is all ready to tie the knot on December 14, 2006 with his girlfriend of four years, Parveen Sahani. It has been reported that his girlfriend did not approve of all his kissing scenes so he was going to stop doing scenes like this.
