Emraan Hashmi is 'confused' by 'Bads of Bollywood' cameo's virality
What's the story
Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi recently made a cameo in Aryan Khan's debut web series, The Ba***ds of Bollywood. His scene with Raghav Juyal went viral, but Hashmi said it didn't change anything for him. Speaking to Galatta India, he said, "Nothing has changed for me...I don't know what it is about virality these days...it was just two days' work." "I am still a little confused about the entire thing. I don't take these things very seriously or mull over them."

Hashmi further explained his approach to choosing scripts. He said, "I have always followed a personal process of choosing scripts I genuinely like or collaborating with people I enjoy working with, with the sole aim of entertaining the audience." He added, "I don't get into the seriousness of success, failure, virality. I try to stay detached. Nothing bothers me."
