Just be yourself. Be honest, work towards a goal, and you'll achieve it. - Emraan Hashmi

Just be yourself. Be honest, work towards a goal, and you'll achieve it. Emraan Hashmi

Just Be, Just Be Yourself

A person like me who has grown up in a mixed culture ought to be spiritual. My mother is a Catholic, my father is a Muslim, and my wife is a Hindu. Personally, I feel spirituality is about being clear-hearted. It involves a sense of connection with the divine. Emraan Hashmi

Father, Muslim, About

I used to believe that the number eight is unlucky for me and would even avoid anything that would add up to 8 - like 17, 26 and so on. I would religiously visit astrologers and wear different stones to bring in good luck. Emraan Hashmi

Luck, Bring, Wear

I don't want to belong to any league. I am in a league of my own. I don't want any tags associated with me because I know when the media associates tags with you, they also have the power to remove those tags tomorrow. Emraan Hashmi

Media, Own, Belong

Boldness, sensuality and an unapologetic way of showing things, that is part of my films. Emraan Hashmi

Things, Part, Films

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

Stubborn, Benefits, Larger

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

Doing, Been, Very

I am tired of kissing on screen. I have to do it because it is synonymous with me. Also, the producers and directors want to add that element. I don't give it too much importance. Emraan Hashmi

Give, Add, Importance

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

Perfect, Play, Real People

My hectic work schedule does not often permit me time to visit temples, but my conversations with God don't depend on idol worship. Inside my heart, I have developed and sustained a direct communication with Him. Emraan Hashmi

Depend, Direct, Idol

Sometimes, I feel promoting a film is a more difficult task than acting! Emraan Hashmi

Task, More, Promoting

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

My Life, Feel, Other

You never compete with the people in your crew; you have your own team. Competition is only with those people whose film is releasing alongside on Friday and never with one's own team. Emraan Hashmi

Own, Compete, Alongside

My films have a bold interpretation. They are unapologetic about showing intimacy. Going by the number of people who come to watch my films, this is what our target audience yearns for. Emraan Hashmi

Going, Audience, Films

Sometimes I know a film might not pull the audience to the theatres and have a great collection at the box office. But I need to do these films for creative satisfaction and give something different to the audience. Emraan Hashmi

Audience, Give, Films

I tried to dance in my earlier films, but it was more like struggling to stay afloat once you are thrown into the water. Emraan Hashmi

More, Like, Films

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

Deep, Been, Fascinated

Somehow, I always knew I would get married by the time I was 27. Even in college, I had this weird thing in my head that I would get married when I was 27, and hopefully my career would be stable, and I'll have kids by 30. And that's exactly what has happened. Emraan Hashmi

College, Career, By The Time

Trust, Date, Been

As an actor, I was not accepted for the longest time. But it did not deter me, as the audience had accepted me. I never compared myself with any other actors. I never had any game plan and took whatever came my way. Emraan Hashmi

Game, Other, Longest

The effort always remains that my new film outdoes my last in terms of performance and gets better box office success. Box office is the sole reason why I do films. Emraan Hashmi

New, Always, Sole

Somewhere after you have few successful films, there is a fear of losing what you have got. It is very easy in the beginning, as you are a risk taker, have nothing to lose, and there is no perception about you. Emraan Hashmi

Beginning, Very, Films

I am not doing comedy because the genre is successful. If that was the case, I would have done a run-of-the-mill comedy film. I set my own trends. I like to give something new and different to my audiences. I want to do the kind of comedy that has been missing till now. Emraan Hashmi

Doing, Been, Till

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

Lucky, Almost, Kissed

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. I am a lazy person - when I entered into this industry, I thought it was a cakewalk, but I have realised it needs a lot of patience and hard work. Emraan Hashmi

Luck, Doing, Prefer

It is fun to see girls going mad about me or dancing around to get one glimpse of me. These are major perks of being an actor. But you need to be cautious and respectful. Emraan Hashmi

Dancing, Going, Need
