Good, I Am, Me, Conflict, End, Ego

Best, Good, Time, I Am, Me, Know

I've always been a huge fan of thrillers like David Fincher's 'Se7en.' I am fascinated by the disturbing, dark underbelly of life. I find such films deeply engrossing. They delve deep into the human psyche, and that's a place worth exploring. Emraan Hashmi

Life, I Am, Deep, Dark, Place, Worth

The 'serial kisser' tag that has been thrust on to me is a lame stereotype. It irritates me. Yes, there is sexual content in my movies, and I have never been apologetic about doing bold scenes. But it's not fair to tag me this way because that can be very stifling. Emraan Hashmi

Me, Doing, Movies, Bold, Way, Content

I don't know the definition of a star; I am just an actor. I prefer doing hard work, as I feel luck can't do much in absence of hard work.

Work, Hard Work, Patience, I Am, Luck

If someone pulls me down, I pull them down, as I don't feel I should live my life in the way other people want me to. If they have a problem with my films, I can rip off their films, be it comedy or their family dramas, which are low on content and have over-theatrical acting. Emraan Hashmi

Life, Family, Live, Me, People, My Life

Eyes, People, Not Perfect, Face, Think
