Kareena Kapoor has had a successful career in the film industry spanning over two decades. Known for portraying a variety of characters, she once included a 'no kissing' clause in her movie contracts after marrying Saif Ali Khan. In an interview with Rediff in 2014, Kareena explained her decision, stating that she believes romance can be depicted without a kiss, too.

Kareena was asked if she would change her no-kissing stance, especially considering that the new generation of female actors are willing to do intimate scenes if the script demands. She responded, “No, I don’t think so. I am married and both, Saif and I have decided that we will not kiss on screen. I am sure romance can be shown without a liplock, and history has proved that in Indian cinema. If other actors are willingly doing it, then good for them.” Both Kareena and Saif refrained from on-screen kissing after their marriage. However, Saif's daughter Sara Ali Khan encouraged them to break their stance. In a 2019 interview with Filmfare, Kareena stated, “I think it was Sara with whom we discussed it. She said, ‘I think that is really silly because you both are actors. Sara was somebody who influenced us.”
