Cinema, in recent times, have grown leaps and bounds. While it represents reality to a certain extent, we cannot deny that reality is also influenced strongly by cinema. Hence, kissing has become commonplace on reel and otherwise. It is hard to say who influenced who.

Taking hold of the trend, actresses are also getting smarter. There are several top actresses who charge extra remuneration if the movie demands extra skin show or intimacy. Smooching the hero firmly falls under the intimacy category. After charging for skin show, heroines are now demanding more money for that hot steamy kiss onscreen.

To relive your suspense, this time it is the very sensuous Shruthi Hassan making the demand. Rather then an outright no, she is playing it smart by demanding a quarter crore, that is 25 lakhs, for a kissing scene in an upcoming film.

We say, as long as the producer and actress are happy with the arrangement, entertainment will always be celebrated. Shruti Hassan's sexy scenes with Arjun Rampal in D-Day have created ripples that are still spreading far and wide.
