Emraan also mentioned that he earned a Commerce degree but joked about it being a recurring topic in his family. Sharing the same, he said, “He said, "There's a running joke in my family that I wanted to be in arts, but I went into Commerce and I still don't cross my checks properly when I sign them. There's someone always lurking over my head to see if I do everything correctly.”

Describing himself as more inclined towards creativity, Emraan stated that if he does decide to produce another film. He added, “It will always be to delegate the work to people who know that part of it better, the finance better.”
