When Emraan Hashmi experienced a headache while attending an award ceremony
Recalling an incident in a chat with Shubhankar Mishra on his YouTube channel, The Jannat actor said, “I remember the last time I went for an award ceremony I actually, I had a headache and I asked for a Tylenol. I needed it. I actually took a Tylenol”.
Hashmi further mentioned that he never aimed to win awards and was content with the love he received from his audience. He also mentioned that awards are often transactional, and he never intended to be part of that system.
Emraan expressed that he had never "yearned for" awards, explaining that he never wanted them, so it wasn't something that even crossed his mind. He added that if people enjoyed decorating their shelves with awards, that was great for them, but it wasn't his thing and he had never desired it.
In the same interview, Emraan discussed the culture of award functions, highlighting the barter system involved. He mentioned that he didn't want to criticize awards, "For people who love it, they want to decorate their shelf in their living room, if that’s your jam then yeah, go for it. It’s not my thing. I have never wanted it".
The Good Boy Bad Boy actor added that he couldn't delude himself into believing he had delivered a good performance if he hadn't. He questioned the purpose of winning if it was merely a barter deal.
