Hashmi is a lucky actor in a way that he got to star in films with some memorable music.

There’s more to Emraan Hashmi than just being Bollywood’s most famous ‘serial kisser’. He started his acting journey with the 2003 film Footpath and went on to feature in films such as Murder, Kalyug, Gangster, The Dirty Picture and Shanghai. This year, he will be seen in Azhar, a biopic on former Indian cricket captain Mohammed Azharuddin.

Tere hokey rahenge
