My onscreen romance lasts for two minutes: Emraan Hashmi

What is onscreen romance like for you

Well, my romance lasts for two minutes—unlike Shah Rukh’s, which goes on for two long hours on screen. (Laughs)

How was it working with Esha Gupta for the third time I have done Jannat 2 and Raaz 3 with Esha Gupta earlier. When T-Series offered me this single, I thought of it as a chance to get together for the third time. It is a fantastic song. Esha has definitely evolved as an actor. It’s not an easy task to be in the industry by your own. I always look forward to working with her. It seems like the trend of the singles is back It’s a nice trend. I was glad to work in Main Rahoon Ya Na Rahoon even though I didn’t get the girl in the end (smiles). I would love to do such singles more often in future.

You haven’t been living up to your serial kisser tag of late (Laughs) There is no specific reason to it. If filmmakers feel that it is required, then why not I promise to kiss my lady in Azhar.

You sport a very clean look in Azhar Since the time I have joined films, I had never been clean-shaven; although I used to trim my beard regularly. I was petrified to shave for Azhar after 15 years.

How is it training in cricket with Azharuddin for the film He has been very cordial in coaching me. I have started playing cricket quite well now.

Is it true that you took vocal training a while ago That’s true. I was training for classical singing but I let it go—it was my biggest mistake.

Is it true that you have signed Bhansali’s next Nothing has been finalized yet. I am only doing Raaz 4 now.

Is it true that you’re heading to US for a holiday I’m going to Disneyland with family mostly in December. I’ve been planning to go on a vacation for a long time, but it didn’t work out due a busy schedule. Inputs by Natasha Coutinho
