Emraan Hashmi Says Viral Ba***ds Of Bollywood Clip Inspired From Real Event: 'Embarrassed Expression On My Face'

Emraan Hashmi recently spoke out about the popular video from The Ba***ds of Bollywood, Aryan Khan's first series as director. The video shows actor Raghav Juyal, who portrays an ardent admirer of Emraan Hashmi, singing Kaho Na Kaho from Emraan's 2004 movie Murder. Fans described the sentimental moment as a 'perfect throwback' to Emraan's early 2000s heyday, and it swiftly swept over social media. The actor recently disclosed that real life served as the inspiration for the viral sequence.

Emraan Hashmi discussed in an interview with SCREEN, how the scene relates to his personal experiences and how Bilal Siddiqi, Manav Chauhan, and Aryan Khan drew inspiration from it. He said, "The writer is a very good friend of mine, Bilal. And I have a sneaky feeling that he’s actually taken it from one of my birthday celebrations I had with a fan, where he was also there."

For more context, Emraan Hashmi played the intimacy coordinator hired to train protagonists Sahher Bambaa and Lakshya. Raghav portrays Parvez, who is a die-hard fan of the Selfiee actor.

I think it’s a lesson to be learnt."

Main naam nahi loonga, nahi toh raat bhar yahi chalta rahega," he added.
