Emraan Hashmi is currently enjoying a resurgence in popularity, thanks to his role in Aryan Khan’s directorial debut, The Ba***ds of Bollywood. The satirical web-series has quickly become a pop culture sensation, and Hashmi’s portrayal of a self-aware intimacy coordinator has particularly resonated with the younger generation, earning him a new legion of Gen Z fans. However, this career moment has also brought an unexpected twist to his home life.
During a candid chat, Emraan revealed that his son is actually quite embarrassed by his father’s latest role. When asked about his son’s reaction to his growing popularity, Emraan shared a humorous anecdote: “My son is really embarrassed about it. His friends are constantly asking him why he doesn’t become an intimacy coach too! He feels I’ve ruined things for him at school and that it’s become a running joke.” The actor chuckled, adding, “He keeps telling me, ‘Every day I come to school, this is what I have to face… so would you just stop.'”
While The Ba***ds of Bollywood has cemented Emraan’s status as a Gen Z icon, the actor is also gearing up for his next project. He is set to star alongside Yami Gautam in the courtroom drama Haq, directed by Suparn S. Varma. The film, scheduled for release on November 7, draws inspiration from the pivotal Shah Bano case, which significantly impacted Muslim women’s rights in India.
