Happy Birthday Emraan Hashmi: Renowned in Bollywood for his fearless portrayals and dubbed the “serial kisser,” Emraan Hashmi has carved a niche for himself in the film industry. Since his breakout, he has captivated audiences with passionate performances across a number of films including Zeher (2005), Kalyug (2005), Aksar (2006), Gangster: A Love Story (2006), Jannat (2008), Raaz: The Mystery Continues (2009), Murder 2 (2011), The Dirty Picture (2011), Jannat 2 (2012), and Raaz 3 (2012). As we celebrate his birthday, let’s delve into his familial ties with Alia Bhatt, examine his financial success, and explore what exciting new projects lie ahead for him.
How Emraan Hashmi Is Related To Alia Bhatt?
Emraan Hashmi’s personal life mirrors the intrigue of his on-screen characters. A lesser-known fact is that he and Alia Bhatt share a family connection, being cousins.
According to reports, Emraan’s paternal grandmother, Meherbano Mohammad Ali (affectionately referred to as Purnima Das Verma), was the sister of Shirin Mohammad Ali. The latter is the mother of acclaimed filmmakers Mahesh Bhatt and Mukesh Bhatt.
Their parents had a rich heritage, with Emraan’s grandmother coming from a Muslim background in Lucknow, and her husband being a Tamil Brahmin named Ram Sheshadri Ayangar. This connection positions Alia Bhatt, being Mahesh Bhatt’s daughter, as Emraan Hashmi’s cousin.
FYI: Initially, Meherbano wed Syed Shaukat Hashmi (Emraan’s grandfather). However, following challenges in their marriage, she later married producer-director Bhagwan Das Verma.
Emraan Hashmi’s Net Worth
Throughout his accomplished career, spanning nearly two decades, Emraan Hashmi has built a reputation not only through his acting but also via endorsements and investment properties.
Recent estimates place his net worth at approximately Rs 120 crore, climbing from Rs 105 crore in a 2023 report by Financial Express, reflecting his success in the entertainment industry.
In addition to his earnings, Emraan resides in a luxurious 4BHK apartment in Bandra, Mumbai, valued at around Rs 16 crore, and boasts an enviable collection of high-end automobiles.
Emraan Hashmi’s Upcoming Movies
The versatile actor recently appeared in Ae Watan Mere Watan (2024), where he made a notable cameo as the prominent socialist leader Ram Manohar Lohia.
Looking ahead, Emraan has three films scheduled for release in 2025. Notably, he will make his debut in Telugu cinema with OG (also known as They Call Him OG), featuring Pawan Kalyan. In this gritty gangster action thriller, he plays the character Omi Bhau, a role that is generating considerable excitement among fans. The film is helmed by Sujeeth and produced by D. V. V. Danayya under the banner of DVV Entertainment.
Additionally, he is set to star in Ground Zero, directed by Tejas Vijay Deoskar, in which he will portray an Indian army officer alongside a talented cast, including Sai Tamhankar and Mukesh Tiwari.
Moreover, filming is also underway for another Telugu film titled G2, directed by Adivi Sesh, where Emraan will take on the role of Michael / Prince Vithal, showcasing his versatility once again.
