The actor, who acquired the tag 'serial kisser' when he first entered the industry, has recently taken a break from performing intimate scenes.
The 31-year-old explained to the Hindustan Times: "As the title suggests, I'm this mischievous, rebellious boy from India who deals in piracy and in Australia, plays with the lives of two women simultaneously.
"So some amount of intimacy is justified. I've done it in my usual uninhibited, unapologetic way. I guess, because of my liberal, somewhat westernised upbringing, I've never been leery about kissing."
The actor claimed that he decided to kiss again on screen as his audience expects it.
"It's not as if I was the first actor to do it, but for some reason, it's become a part of my brand identity. Now, even when I don't kiss, it raises as many questions as when I do," he said.
