That there are three actors (idiots?) in Raju Hirani's December release 3 Idiots is known, they being Aamir Khan, Madhavan and Sharman

There is also Kareena Kapoor, who is nobody's fool, and that also everybody knows. But what is just coming out is that the film has three kisses as well that Hirani was not keen to publicise until the film's launch date. All three kisses are between Aamir and Kareena, naturally.
Aamir, incidentally, famously kissed Kareena's elder sister Karisma Kapoor in Dharmesh Darshan's 1996 film Raja Hindustani - a kiss that still holds the record for being one of the most passionate in Bollywood history. And for which, Aamir and Karisma had reportedly done umpteen rehearsals.
The actor continues to be a perfectionist with exacting standards. For a scene in 3 Idiots where Kareena blows him a kiss, they apparently did 14 retakes. That was Kiss No. 1. Aamir improvised then and got Bebo to kiss him on the cheek next. And that was Kiss No. 2. But it's Kiss No. 3 between the two superstars in the climax of the film over which the buzz has already begun. It's said to be a proper lip-to-lip kiss.
Aamir and Kareena have a history of near misses. They were to do Mani Ratnam's Lajjo, a film that had a strong physicality to it, which got shelved. Then Vishal Bharadwaj's Mr Singh & Mrs Mehta, whose original heroine was Rani Mukerji, but Rani reportedly walked out when she heard there was a kiss involved because she had already got flak for kissing Kamal Haasan earlier in He Ram! That's when Kareena stepped in... but again, Vishal's film too didn't take off. Finally, Aamir and Bebo have got together for 3 Idiots. Happily, the kiss has continued to follow them.
