He may owe much of his popularity to the number of sensuous lip locks he has had on screen, but there is no denying that our serial kisser Emraan Hashmi is a thoughtful actor too. Talking about his character in The Dirty Picture Emraan said: "My character, Abraham is a film director, who hates Silk.

Thus Abraham and Silk are constantly abusing each other. Their ideologies differ. While Silk stands for entertaining cinema, Abraham has a more arty approach to film making. This is the first time I have got an opportunity to play such a role with my heroine onscreen."   However there have been controversies surrounding the film, with objections being raised on the onscreen character of Vidya Balan.
