She Had Problems, But…”: Emraan Hashmi Opens Up About Wife Parveen’s Reaction to His Bold On-Screen Roles
For years, Emraan Hashmi has worn the title of Bollywood’s “serial kisser” — a label that brought both fame and controversy. Now, in a candid revelation that’s turning heads, the actor has spoken about how his wife, Parveen Shahani, initially struggled with his intimate scenes on screen.

Speaking openly in a recent interview, Emraan admitted,
“Yes, she had problems in the beginning. And rightly so. It wasn’t easy for her to watch those scenes... but I had to explain — these things keep the audience happy.”
Real-Life Love vs Reel-Life Roles
Balancing personal life with a career in the spotlight is never easy, especially when the roles involve intimate, steamy sequences. Emraan revealed that his wife, who has largely stayed away from the limelight, took time to adjust to the realities of his profession.
He added that over time, mutual understanding and trust helped smooth the rough edges.
“Parveen is a strong woman. She’s not from the industry, so it was a lot to take in at first. But she came around.”
The Man Behind The Image
While fans often saw him as the go-to actor for bold romances, Emraan has repeatedly stressed that the sensual image was just one layer of his career — a phase that aligned with what Bollywood audiences were demanding at the time.
“It wasn’t something I did for fun. It was strategic. And clearly, it worked — people watched, talked, and the films delivered.”
But behind every risqué scene was a man juggling his responsibilities as a husband and father, ensuring his personal relationships didn’t fall apart amid the glitz and gossip.
A Deeper Message: Understanding the Profession
Hashmi’s confession has sparked conversations around the emotional toll on actors' families, especially when their roles conflict with personal values or expectations. Many fans have praised both him and Parveen for handling the situation with maturity, rather than letting it brew into a scandal.
In an industry where reel love often disrupts real life, their story is one of growth, compromise, and resilience.
“These things keep the audience happy,” Emraan said — but it’s clear that keeping his marriage happy required even more effort. From bold choices on screen to honest conversations at home, Hashmi proves that success in Bollywood doesn’t have to come at the cost of love and understanding.
Whether you're a fan of his films or not, one thing’s for sure — Emraan Hashmi keeps it real, both on and off screen.
