In an interview on Radio Nasha, Emraan Hashmi discussed how his family navigated the difficult period of his son's illness. He acknowledged the uncertainty they faced about the future but highlighted their resilience in persevering through it. The actor admitted to the challenges of balancing personal and professional needs, stating that pushing through was necessary, provided this is real world.
The actor revealed Mahesh Bhatt's advice, recalling that when his son was diagnosed with cancer, Bhatt, a pragmatic mentor figure, offered him crucial guidance. Understanding the realities of the industry, Bhatt emphasized the need for Emraan to reach out to every producer he was collaborating with and reassure them of his commitment to completing their projects. Despite it being just two weeks into his son's illness, Bhatt stressed the dual nature of industry support: while people empathize and offer assistance, they also have financial stakes invested in projects.
The Tiger 3 star recounted how he followed Bhatt's advice, informing producers that he would be away for only a month and a half, even though his son's treatment in Canada lasted seven months. In a difficult decision, Emraan had to lie to his son, telling him he would return soon, then promptly flew back to India to fulfill his professional obligations before rejoining his family in Canada. It was undeniably a tough phase for him.
