Every actor has a long way to go in Bollywood and Emraan Hashmi surely has come through the roughest and the toughest way. The actor, who was given the same type of movies in his initial days, was titled as the serial kisser and is today one of the biggies in the town.

The actor says, “It is a surprising journey. It's been almost accidental that I became an actor as I never wanted to be one”, he further adds, “It was never my childhood dream to become an actor. I never expected it. In the initial four years of my career, I was not even serious about acting profession, in fact sort of disinterested. I was doing only one type of films and didn't know much about films or what is box-office success or what is the importance of characters. So, I was stereotyped. I can say my career actually began first with Jannat and then Once Upon A Time In Mumbaai. That was a turning point of my career. Then I got serious about my profession. I treated my earlier 4-5 years as warm-up years. Now I am working on films which I really like.”

Talking about him being criticized, he said, “That was just a phase of my career. By default I was getting offered the same kind of stuff. The amount of criticism I faced in the initial five years of my career I believe no actor must have gone through it...I was the most criticized actor. But I think it's fair enough, critics have their own work to do. We make films some people like it while some people don't. That's their way of looking at it but our work is to not get deterred or affected in any way and continue concentrating on our films.”

Well, who doesn’t like him now? He has gone leaps and bounds with his hard work.
