Emraan Hashmi says his viral cameo in The Ba***ds of Bollywood hasn’t changed anything professionally. Calling it just two days of work, he admits he’s confused by virality and says he never takes such things seriously

Emraan Hashmi
Emraan Hashmi’s cameo in The Ba***ds of Bollywood has quickly become an internet sensation, earning widespread attention and praise. Apart from igniting nostalgia and the vibe around the song Kaho Na Kaho, his stint made everyone agree that, “Akha Bollywood ek taraf, Emraan Hashmi ek taraf.” However, the cameo changed nothing for Hashmi in terms of opportunities. He claims he does not take things seriously or mull over them.
In an interview with Galatta India, when asked if things had changed for him now in terms of opportunities, Emraan said, “Nothing has changed for me. Woh ek cheez thi, it suddenly blew up. Abhi virality ke liye pata nahi kya, kyun log suddenly, voh do din ka kaam tha (I don’t know what it is about virality these days, why people suddenly, it was just two days’ work), and it just blew up. I still don’t understand. I am still a little confused about the entire thing. I don’t take these things very seriously or mull over them.”
