How Emraan Hashmi Reacted When Ameesha Patel Refused To Work With Him

Emraan Hashmi recently revealed how he reacted when Ameesha Patel refused to work with him in the film Yeh Zindagi Ka Safar in an interview with The Lallantop. Ameesha Patel, who already delivered a hit by then, felt Emraan was not the "right fit" and he couldn't do justice to the role. Emraan was supposed to make his debut with the film Yeh Zindagi Ka Safar opposite Ameesha Patel. Recalling the bygone days, Emraan Hashmi said, "Ameesha felt I wouldn't be able to pull it off. She had just delivered a hit film (Kaho Naa Pyaar Hai), so she was worried, she wanted the casting to be right for the hero. She wanted an experienced actor to be cast for the role, not someone totally inexperienced, someone who's only done one month acting course."

Emraan continued, "So, she went to Bhatt sahab and said, 'I don't think Emraan is the right fit'. I was infuriated, I was very angry with her. Now when I look back, I feel Ameesha, from her point of view, was correct."

During the same conversation, Emraan Hashmi revealed he even  retaliated against Ameesha in anger by showing up on the set even though he didn't need to. "I used to go to the film's set, and watch her shoot, I used to stare at her as well," he said. Emraan also pleaded with Mahesh Bhatt to give him a chance. "I also told Bhatt sahab to give me a chance. It wasn't that I actually couldn't act; it was Ameesha who felt that I couldn't act. I was free at the time, so I would go on the film's set because I wanted to stay engaged with the process of filmmaking. I used to go on set everyday. I was not an assistant on the film, I used to just go to see. Then I signed my first film with Vishesh Films, Footpath."

Emraan Hashmi is popular for films like Zeher, Aashiq Banaya Aapne, Gangster, Jannat, Tum Mile, Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai, to name a few. He was last seen in Tiger Zinda Hai. He also made a cameo in the Amazon Prime original Ae Watan Mere Watan. He also worked in web shows like Bard of Blood and Showtime.

Listen To Indian Muslims' "Mann Ki Baat": Jama Masjid Shahi Imam To PM

Jama Masjid's Shahi Imam Syed Ahmed Bukhari on Friday expressed concerns over the "storm of hatred" in the country, and urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to listen to the 'Mann Ki Baat' of Muslims. Citing recent incidents like the Nuh riots and the killing of four persons by a railway police jawan on a running train, Ahmed Bukhari suggested in his Friday sermon at the historic mosque that PM Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah hold dialogue with intellectuals from the community.

The situation in the country is worrisome and a storm of hatred is posing grave danger to peace in the country," Ahmed Bukhari said. "You say your 'Mann Ki Baat' but you also need to listen to the 'Mann Ki Baat' of Muslims. The Muslims are troubled due to the prevailing conditions and worried about their future," Ahmed Bukhari said, referring to PM Modi's monthly radio pro...
