"I think someone else should take the crown from me. By all means give it to other boy or girl. It becomes essential that when you are labelled you should spread your wings and stretch your talent. It is not easy and one has to do risky things in their career," Emraan said in a media interaction here.
Emraan is known for his bold and intimate scenes in films like 'Murder', 'Zeher' and 'Aashiq Banaya Aapne' among others which earned him the 'serial kisser' tag. But now in almost every film, every actor has a similar scene.
"Today for youngsters it is... Like it becomes part of script, screenplay. You have to show romance, love and intimacy. I think everyone is trying to outdo themselves in kisses, which I think is ridiculous," he said.
After 'Student Of The Year' and 'Two States', Emraan's younger cousin Alia Bhatt seems to have laid claim to the title after puckering up with her co-stars Sidharth Malhotra and Arjun Kapoor.
Ask Emraan, if one will get to see him and Alia together in a film, he said, "I think on screen we should play brother and sister in the film then it will be good. Otherwise I think it will be twisted."
Among the newcomers Emraan likes Alia and admits he is being biased towards her as she is family.
