Fun fact! I never knew!
Comment on Are there any cultures where kissing is taboo?

In India, it’s a huge taboo to kiss anyone whom you’re not married to. Public affection in general is mostly frowned upon there, and sometimes charges as a crime depending on where you live.
That’s why you never see lovers kiss in Bollywood movies. They always just hug or hold each other at arms length. They would be outraged if two actors who aren’t married to each other kissed on screen.

Lots of cuts to fireworks displays, crashing waves etc.

This is completely at odds with my experience living in India! Does it vary between regions?
