Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi is celebrating his 46th birthday today. Known for his romantic image in the industry, Emraan has had a successful career spanning over two decades. Born on March 24, 1979, in a Muslim family, Emraan has starred in numerous hit films such as ‘Murder’ and ‘Once Upon a Time in Mumbai’, although he is famously known as the ‘serial kisser’ of Bollywood.
Despite his successful career, there are some lesser-known facts about Emraan Hashmi. For instance, he initially did not aspire to become an actor and had a fear of facing the camera. Interestingly, he was removed from his first film ‘Yeh Zindagi Ka Safar’ in 2001 due to his bad behavior and acting skills. This setback led him to work harder, and he eventually made his Bollywood debut with ‘Footpath’ in 2003.
Emraan’s journey in the film industry was not without challenges, as he had to overcome the ‘serial kisser’ image to establish himself as a versatile actor. Films like ‘Shanghai’, ‘Once Upon a Time in Mumbai’, ‘Azhar’, and ‘Tiger 3’ helped him break away from this stereotype and earn critical acclaim.
Moreover, during the shooting of ‘Chehre’ in 2019, Emraan Hashmi discovered a special connection with his co-star Amitabh Bachchan. It was revealed that Emraan’s grandmother, actress Purnima Das Verma, had portrayed Amitabh’s mother in the 1973 film ‘Zanjeer’. This unexpected link added a personal touch to their on-screen collaboration.
As Emraan celebrates his birthday today, let’s appreciate his journey from overcoming initial hurdles to becoming a respected actor in the industry. His dedication and versatility have earned him a loyal fan base and a prominent place in Bollywood. Happy Birthday, Emraan Hashmi!
