Emraan Hashmi Quotes

Indian - Actor Born: March 24, 1979

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

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

Larger, Benefits, Stubborn

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

Muslim, Father, About

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

Very, Been, Doing

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

Doing, Luck, Prefer

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

Other, Game, Longest

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

Films, Part, Things

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

I think it is rather 'unsexy' to go under the knife and modify your appearance. Emraan Hashmi

Knife, Think, Modify

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, Other, Feel

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, Wear, Bring

I'm not meant to run around trees. I can't throw my arms in the air and sing, I find that boring and irritating. Sweet romcoms are not my cup of tea. The film has to be a little twisted and quirky. Emraan Hashmi

Meant, Twisted, Run

Everyone who means well gives advice based on his or her perception. I have realized that while it's important to hear the suggestions, one should only listen to oneself. Emraan Hashmi

Means, Based, Everyone

I've always been into visual effects. It was something I took keen interest in before films happened. Ironically, I am a part of 'Raaz 3,' a film that is shot entirely on 3D. It has encouraged me to pursue my dream. Hopefully, if time permits, I will travel to the United States and attend a crash course in visual graphics and animation. Emraan Hashmi

Been, Attend, Before

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

Films, Very, Beginning

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

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

Play, Real People, Perfect

In my career, I have played a gangster, an ex cop, a journalist and a film director. Yet, the label of a serial kisser refuses to leave me. Emraan Hashmi

Career, Cop, Director

I feel I should never do passive characters. They don't work for me. Emraan Hashmi

Never, Characters, Work

An Emraan Hashmi film has come to guarantee certain ingredients: An intense, grey central character, a beautiful girl - if he gets lucky, then two - couple of kisses, a few bold scenes, fabulous music and a climatic twist. Emraan Hashmi

Guarantee, Lucky, Couple

I don't want awards. I am not saying this like it's a case of sour grapes. It isn't. I have been to a couple of award functions, and I soon realised that it doesn't give me the kick that it does to others. Emraan Hashmi

Been, Couple, Functions

When a film is successful, you don't need to shout about it from the rooftops. I don't believe in going into overdrive. There's no desperation to be acknowledged as the reason for a film's success. Emraan Hashmi

Acknowledged, Reason, Need

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

Been, Deep, Fascinated

I respect the Bible and offer namaz regularly. But I am ritualistic only up to a certain extent. I believe only in those rituals that I can understand and connect with, and conduct them my own way. Emraan Hashmi

Extent, Own, Believe

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

Films, Audience, Going

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
