Bollywood- the potboiler of emotions, the ones where dreams are woven on screen and the only place of which everyone wants to be a part. So why is it that the biggest dream-weaving, entertainment generating industry of the country, fail to portray a basic action on screen? And by the most fundamental act, I mean kissing. Kissing has been a volatile subject in Bollywood since the term was coined. Now after a century of Bollywood’s existence, things don’t seem to be changing for better. This Kiss Day here is looking back at it.

For a better half of the 20th century, kisses in Bollywood were depicted with the brushing together of flowers, a couple going behind a tree or fire burning (in a bid to portray the desire). While most of us have grown with this kind of memory etched in our minds, turns out Bollywood wasn’t this conservative since forever.
