Emraan Hashmi reveals his scene with Raghav Juyal in The Ba***ds of Bollywood taken from his real-life: ‘There was a fan who started singing…’
Emraan Hashmi, in an exclusive conversation with SCREEN, revealed that his viral scene with Raghav Juyal bursting into 'Kaho Na Kaho' has been inspired by a real-life incident.
Emraan Hashmi revealed that his scene in The Ba***ds of Bollywood was inspired by a real incident.
It has been over a month since Aryan Khan’s show The Ba***ds of Bollywood premiered on Netflix, and the series continues to gain traction across platforms. Yet, an unexpected highlight has taken the internet by storm: Emraan Hashmi’s cameo. From Instagram reels to tweets and WhatsApp groups, his brief appearance has quickly become a fan favorite.
The standout moment comes when Raghav Juyal, who plays a devoted Emraan Hashmi fan in the series, is so starstruck upon meeting his idol for the first time that he spontaneously breaks into the song “Kaho Na Kaho” from Murder. Emraan himself is left speechless, watching him sing with such unbridled passion. As the scene continues trending across social media, Emraan shared in an exclusive conversation with SCREEN how the moment mirrors something from his own life, and how Aryan Khan and co-writers Manav Chauhan and Bilal Siddiqi drew inspiration from it.
“The writer is a very good friend of mine, Bilal. And I have a sneaky feeling that he’s actually taken it from one of my birthday celebrations I had with a fan, where he was also there. This was below my building, and you can see it on, it must be on YouTube also, there’s this fan who started off singing and just wouldn’t stop, and there was this embarrassed expression on my face. Bilal was there; I know he’s taken it from there only,” Emraan said.

He also reflected on the overwhelming fan response to his cameo, and specifically to the now-viral line from the series: “Akha Bollywood ek taraf, Emraan Hashmi ek taraf” (All of Bollywood on one side, Emraan Hashmi on the other). “It’s quite amazing how it’s stuck with people, it’s unbelievable. I went to shoot in Bangkok, and over there also, obviously there’s an Indian population, a sizable one, and this is one thing that’s just stuck like a viral thing,” he added.
Emraan Hashmi is currently gearing up for his next project with Yami Gautam, Haq, which is based on the infamous Shah Bano case.
