Emraan Hashmi feels award shows are a circus

The actor says he is happy even if he doesn’t win any trophies

Emraan Hashmi

The success of ‘Murder 2’ and ‘The Dirty Picture’ may have ensured that Emraan is a name to be reckoned with in B’wood but it has also left the actor with a bitter taste.
Although Emraan’s role in ‘The Dirty Picture’ won critical acclaim, it failed to get him a nomination for popular award shows. The episode has no doubt upset Emraan who has some unsavoury remarks about award shows.

The actor wished his fellow actors who were attending award shows good luck and said he was skipping them because he found it an ordeal to sit for hours without doing anything. Emraan also remarked that winning awards wasn’t a testament of anyone’s merit. The nominations, in most cases, were undeserving and therefore he had decided that he wouldn’t sit through what he called ‘a circus’. What mattered to him at the end of the day was how his movies were received by the public.

Emraan also added that his hit movies only proved that he was the people’s champion and he couldn’t care less about a jury of odd people who discuss the nominations for award shows.

After being called a serial kisser it seems that the actor is keen to have another moniker to describe his personality. Sallu and Aamir who both shun awards would be only too happy to expand their club and lend their ‘Award-hater’ moniker to Emraan.
