‘No complaints, I am happy’: Emraan Hashmi on his viral scene in ‘The Ba***ds of Bollywood’

Emraan Hashmi has expressed his delight over the viral response to a memorable scene in the Netflix series ‘The Ba***ds of Bollywood,’ directed by Aryan Khan. The series has garnered significant attention for its portrayal of Bollywood, with one particular scene featuring actor Raghav Juyal, who plays a devoted fan of Hashmi, singing the actor’s popular song ‘Kaho Na Kaho’ and delivering a dialogue that lauds Hashmi’s dominance in the industry. The dialogue, ‘Akkha Bollywood ek taraf, Emraan Hashmi ek taraf (Whole Bollywood at one side, Emraan Hashmi on another),’ has resonated deeply with audiences. Hashmi, speaking at the trailer launch event of his upcoming film ‘Haq,’ shared his joy at being associated with this dialogue rather than his previous on-screen image. ‘We knew it would go viral, but not to this extent,’ he remarked. ‘Now, people remember that dialogue when they talk about me. So I have no complaints. I am happy.’ ‘Haq,’ directed by Suparn S Varma, is a courtroom drama based on the famous Mohd Ahmed Khan vs Shah Bano Begum case from the 1980s, with Hashmi and Yami Gautam in the lead roles. The film is set to release in November.
