Kissing up and lip service in Bollywood

Though Aamir Khan locked lips with Karishma Kapoor more than a decade ago, Bollywood’s still not comfortable with kissing.
While Kareena kissed Akshay Kumar 10 times for good measure in Kambakkht Ishq, boyfriend Saif settled the smooch score with Deepika in Love Aaj Kal. So did Shahid and Priyanka in Kaminey.
Among the unkissed majors, are Shah Rukh and Salman. Till now, they have gotten by without resorting to any serious smooch tactics, and SRK seems to be getting along fine. But maybe Sallu Bhai needs some lip service apart from all the interviews he’s frantically giving and the TV shows he keeps popping on these days. He’s spent a lot of time bullying his girlfriends – past and current – and now his forehead’s getting broader by the day.
Vivek Oberoi, his pet foe, – yeah, he’s still alive – has already taken the cue and has apparently smooched Aruna Moorty for verrrrrrrrry long in his forthcoming movie Prince. Methinks the magnitude of his desperation is directly co-related to the length of the kiss. Aamir’s kiss in Raja Hindustani was a pretty long one and maybe Vivek’s hoping to kiss his blues away similarly. I do pity Miss Moorty for her ordeal.
It’s nice to see Bollywood come a good way from the clumsy hugging and groping, but I think it’ll be some time before kissing becomes a part of the plot and not inserted forcefully for its cheap thrill value.

While the whole world is struggling to cope up with the deadly H1N1 virus, there are actually people who are more worried about Aishwarya’s occasional sneezing.
After father-in-law, Amitabh Bachchan, made a big deal about her flu in his blog, messages started pouring in from all corners of the world (or so she claims!). So much so that Aishwarya’s phone crashed. Well, yes Aishwarya, being the daughter-in-law of the first family of Bollywood does have its perks. Even if that means that you need to buy a new phone every time you sneeze.
PS: Ash seems to have it all – a great career, loving hubby and a doting father in law! A certain Karishma may be wondering about what could have been!
