Emraan Hashmi

Emraan on awards: "These award ceremonies really don't make a difference to me. I have got my acclaim and awards from the audience... I don't really see that (award functions) as something I ever really believed it. I generally don't approve of these nominations."

Some of Emraan's steamiest and meatiest roles were with Kangna Ranaut, who he worked with in 'Gangster' and then 'Raaz: The Mystrey continues'.

The film also proved his detractors wrong; he had something more in him than what was ascribed to him.

But he got stereotyped in the image of the "King of Onscreen Lovemaking" and his roles became monotonous.

Then came 'Aashiq Banaya Aapne', which brought with it songs that were chartbusters; Emraan earned his title of 'Serial Kisser' with this movie. His steamy scenes with Tanushree Dutta set the cash registers ringing, non-stop.

'Murder' was followed by 'Zeher', starring Udita Goswami and Shamita Shetty, and 'Tumsa Nahin Dekha' with Dia Mirza. These films made Emraan the "in thing" in B'wood.

Then came his biggest claim to success, 'Murder'. With grey streaks and steamy lovemaking scenes, the film brought Emraan into limelight, and everyone sat up and took notice.

Quite literally born into the Bhatt camp (Mahesh and Mukesh Bhatt are his uncles), Emraan debuted in Bollywood with 'Footpath'. Though the film did not do well at the B.O., his performance was lauded by the critics.
