Javed Sheikh, a revered figure in the Pakistani entertainment industry, recently made waves with his remarks about Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi. During a Ramadan special transmission on Aaj TV, hosted by Omer Shahzad, Javed Sheikh shared an unpleasant experience from the set of the 2008 film Jannat. He claimed that Emraan Hashmi had been rude to him during their first meeting, which led to minimal interaction between them throughout the filming process.
The veteran actor further added that while he did not enjoy working with Emraan, he found Bollywood superstars like Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar to be far more humble and respectful. His statement quickly went viral, sparking discussions on social media about Emraan Hashmi’s behavior.
Emraan Hashmi’s Response to Javed Sheikh’s Allegations
Following Javed Sheikh’s comments, Emraan Hashmi was asked about the controversy in an interview with Zoom TV India. Addressing the claims, the Murder star expressed his surprise at Javed Sheikh’s allegations. He stated that he does not recall any such incident but acknowledged that their relationship on set was strictly professional.
“It’s bizarre! I was in my 20s then, and he is not my age, so we were never friends. I didn’t hang out with him, but I don’t remember anything like what he is saying happening,” Emraan explained. He emphasized that there was a significant age gap between them, which naturally led to limited interaction outside of their scenes.
Emraan also questioned why Javed Sheikh had held onto this memory for over 16 years, describing the entire situation as a “comedy of errors.” He seemed bewildered by the controversy and suggested that it might have been a misunderstanding or misinterpretation of events.
Industry Reactions and Social Media Buzz
As expected, the controversy has sparked a debate on social media. Some fans defended Emraan Hashmi, stating that personal chemistry does not define an actor’s professionalism. Others believed Javed Sheikh’s version of events, highlighting that senior artists should be treated with utmost respect.
Many Bollywood and Lollywood fans also compared Emraan Hashmi’s behavior with other Indian actors, particularly those whom Javed Sheikh praised for their humility. While some social media users criticized Javed Sheikh for bringing up an old incident, others appreciated his candidness about his experiences in the industry.
Final Thoughts
Whether or not there was a misunderstanding, this controversy serves as a reminder of how professional relationships in the entertainment industry can be perceived differently by individuals. Emraan Hashmi maintains that he never had any issues with Javed Sheikh, while the latter recalls an unpleasant encounter. As the discussion continues, fans of both actors are left to form their own opinions.
