Actor Emraan Hashmi, who is known for his image as a \u2018serial kisser\u2019 in Bollywood on screen long before the red flags of this generation came along, has had a roller-coaster affair with Indian cinema. The actor took many long breaks from acting, which potentially might have hurt his career, but in a recent interview he shared his rationale behind the absence and why he needed to get away from the bright lights of Bollywood.<\/p>\n

In an appearance on Humans of Bombay\u2019s YouTube channel, the Jannat actor<\/a> opened up about his career and the various questions that arise with his interesting run as an actor. He talked about his son\u2019s cancer<\/a> diagnosis being the biggest reason for him taking a hiatus from Bollywood and how his family supported him through all that.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was a chaotic time in all our lives. It hit us out of the blue because there were no particular symptoms, and one day you come to know that your kid, who is 3 years old, has been diagnosed with cancer. It was an ongoing battle; thankfully my family and friends were a great support system, especially my wife,\u201d said the actor.<\/p>\n

He talked about how his young son showed character beyond his years and said that kids deal better with a lot of stuff compared to adults. He said, \u201cMore than anything, keeping the family aside, it was my son\u2019s resilience. He used to take his chemotherapy, and within 5 minutes he was back playing with his toys. Kids don\u2019t let themselves get bogged down with this stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked about how his son\u2019s diagnosis and treatment affected his relationship with his wife, Emraan complimented his wife, Parveen Shahani, for the grit she displayed even when he was not present to support her. \u201cMy wife was a huge support system, even while she was dealing with a lot of her own stuff. I had to come back for films, and my wife was there with him alone. The way she handled it, she is very strong, and due credit to her and our relationship and bond got stronger,\u201d added the actor.<\/p>\n

Through thick and thin, Emraan has now made another return to Hindi cinema with Ground Zero<\/a>, a story about a valiant BSF officer, Narendra Nath Dhar Dubey. The film is set to release on Friday.<\/p>\n
