"I never kissed on screen, so my children shouldn't as well"... These came from the 'Dabangg' Khan who is launching young and newbies Sooraj Pancholi and Athiya Shetty in his production, 'Hero'.

It is said that Salman was not keen that the debutant actors feature in lip-lock scene. Being very protective about their image and carefully promoting them, the 49-year old star said to have edited out a kissing scene of Sooraj and Athiya, much to the surprise of the director Nikhil Advani. According to the helmer, Sooraj and Athiya share just a blink-and-miss peck in "Khoya Khoya" song in 'Hero'; however Salman notice it and immediately asked to edit it out. Salman justified his point by saying that he never kissed on screen so even his "children" should not lock lips.

Awwwww, that's so thoughtful!!!
