Emraan Hashmi Quotes

Indian - Actor Born: March 24, 1979

I am a bit difficult to be around sometimes. I can be stubborn on a lot of things, and I'm set, but I can also adapt in a conflict situation and don't hold on to an ego. I end up seeing the larger good and adapt to it, provided it benefits me. I may come across as a cold person, but I am extremely sentimental. Emraan Hashmi

Good, I Am, Me, Conflict, Cold, Ego

Me, Doing, Bold, Movies, Way, Never

I am not good at first or second impressions, and you have to spend some time with me to know me. Also, I don't want to put my best foot forward and prove something, as that is not me. I would rather be me and have you like me for who I am, instead of being someone else. Emraan Hashmi

Good, Time, Best, I Am, Me, Forward

Father, Mother, Culture, Wife, Spiritual

I have kissed in almost all the films except in 'Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai.' I'm not sure if my kissing on screen has anything to do with the success of a film, but producers make sure to put a kissing scene or two. They feel my kissing scenes are my lucky streak. Emraan Hashmi

Success, Time, Feel, Lucky, Anything

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

With my physicality and my face, I don't think I could pull off a completely righteous guy. There's something devious about my eyes. I like characters with flaws and to see how they overcome those flaws. I want to play real people, and they're flawed, not perfect. Emraan Hashmi

Eyes, People, Not Perfect, Face, Think

I was an assistant director for a year, and I realized, 'God, this is a lot of hard work. This is going to take time. So what's the shortcut? What's the better option?' Then thankfully, someone said, 'Why don't you become an actor?' Emraan Hashmi

Work, Hard Work, God, Time, Better, Year

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
