His movie choices. They were either poor choices or lacked mass appeal.

Yes he did, but he never stopped doing the kiss or sex related scenes. In his other movies though the theme was different he never stopped playing the lust filled guy. When the whole khaandan goes to watch the movie, such scenes do make elders squirm and youngsters too as both feel embarrassed. Emraan tag is of a erotic or sex guy so watching his movie is generally perceived as being sex filled only and that makes one look bad or not nice. Hence many people avoid that. Salman and SRK have build their image across the age groups and their movies are comfortably watchable by whole khaandan. Moreover they do same stuff but that is acceptable stuff something which is not embarrassing or erotic. The same stuff works with families and biggest eg is the hindi serials which have only one theme- saas, bahu saazish and property ke peeche plotting😆😆😆 and its recycled since the inception of formula by Ekta. The same dose of bending anti gravity and dupatta flying😆😆 which is love and to add man handling is deeper love😆. In short you need to appeal to masses to sustain longer.

I'm getting what you are saying, and I also agree with it. But we can't put all the blame on Emraan for doing the same type of role. Audience wasn't ready to accept him in any other role, other than a playboy. Awarapan was a movie in which there was no kiss or cheap erotic scenes. The movie was superb, Emraan was in a different type of role, and his acting was also praised alot. The movie has now got a cult status, but guess what?? It was a big disaster at the box office. So his fans are ready to accept him in non-erotic films, but the general audience only sees him as a serial kisser.

And I think now it has became quite common to have kissing and bedroom scenes in movies. Family audience don't have much problem with it. Even the Khans do it. Alok Nath days are gone now. It's just that Emraan does B-grade films, so he got that sleazy image.
