Now, Emraan has reacted to the viral scene featuring him and Raghav Juyal from Aryan Khan`s directorial. He was addressing the media at the trailer launch of his upcoming film Haq, co-starring Yami Gautam. Reacting to the scene, the actor also reflected on his earlier image.
He shared that he recently had a candid conversation with Aryan Khan and the Red Chillies Entertainment team about the scene. “Kuch din pehle hi yeh conversation meri hui Aryan [Khan] aur Red Chillies team ke saath. Humein pata tha viral hoga, lekin is tarah se viral hoga, woh kabhi socha nahi tha. I think it’s a lesson to be learnt,” Emraan said with a smile.
He went on to add, “I think iske pehle fans jo hain, woh naam leke pukarte the, ya phir… ek doosra image tha, ‘S’ se shuru hota hai. Main naam nahi loonga, nahi toh raat bhar yahi chalta rahega.” The actor was referring to his long-standing “serial kisser” tag.
“Abhi woh dialogue ka zikr hota hai – so no complaints,” Hashmi quipped, adding that he is excited about the scene’s response.

Raghav Juyal on the viral The Ba***ds of Bollywood moment
Talking about the success of The Ba***ds of Bollywood, Raghav told mid-day, “We tell each other, ‘Bhai, yeh toh hona hi tha.’ I don’t know about others, but Aryan and I were confident that the show would be well-received,” said Juyal of Khan’s directorial debut.
The duo’s creativity shone through in the viral sequence with Emraan Hashmi. In the scene, Juyal’s character Parvaiz, a Hashmi fan, breaks into the Arabic part of the star’s popular song Kaho Na Kaho. The actor, who is an admirer of Hashmi in real life, grinned, “Humara toh school, college, sab usne banaya hai. I did that scene with all my heart. In my first take, I cried. Everyone on set started laughing, wondering why I was crying while singing. But I did that moment with a lot of feeling. Yet, I had to make it look funny.”
On screen, Juyal has a meaty part, but at the script level, things were very different. “My role wasn’t sketched out. Other characters had backstories, mine didn’t. So, I was a little sceptical initially. Then Aryan called me and said, ‘I have full faith in you. We’ll shape the character on set.’ I listened to him, and here we are,” he smiled.
