The actor who started his film career in 2003, has given many hit films in his two decades-long career. Born on March 24, 1979 in a Muslim family, Emraan has worked in many hit films like 'Murder', 'Once Upon a Time in Mumbai', but he is known as a serial kisser in the industry. Today, on the special occasion of his birthday, we are going to tell you some unheard stories related to his life.
Did you know Emraan did not want to become an actor?
Emraan Hashmi, who has played every role with perfection on screen, also did many action films to overcome his romantic image. He also played these roles very well, but do you know that this powerful actor never wanted to step into this colourful world of acting? He came into this field suddenly. At an early age, he started learning the things and work of the world of cinema.
Emraan was afraid of facing the camera
Emraan Hashmi, who has appeared in front of the camera thousands of times, was once very afraid of the camera. During a conversation, Imran said, 'I was very afraid of facing the camera.' However, despite his fear, the actor had worked in many ads as a child artist, but he had the fear of being judged by people. Due to this fear, he was forced to think whether the world of acting was made for him or not.
Emraan was removed from his first film
Emraan started his career in Bollywood with 'Footpath' in the year 2003. However, his fans would not know that he was going to enter the world of acting in 2001 with a film named 'Yeh Zindagi Ka Safar', but he was removed from this film by the makers. The reason was Emraan's bad behaviour and bad acting. After being removed from the film, he decided to become an actor in anger and after two years he got a chance to spread the magic of his acting on the big screen, but he did not get love from the audience and his debut film 'Footpath' flopped. This was the reason that after the film flopped, he changed the spelling of his name from Imran to Emraan.
The series of hit films
Emraan had to take 40 takes to do a scene in his first film. After doing a flop film, Imran Hashmi hit the jackpot. After this, he made a series of hit films like 'Murder', 'Zahar', 'Aashiq Banaya Aapne', 'Gangster' and 'Awarapan'. By 2010, he became a sensation among the audience, who was also known for his hit songs. These romantic songs of his became popular among everyone and due to this, his fan following increased a lot.
