Emraan Hashmi recently opened up about the significance of his first big paycheck – a moment that not only marked his financial independence but also boosted his aspirations in Bollywood.

Hashmi candidly revealed, “I got 25 lakhs and that was my fourth film. I did that film because I wanted to buy my Honda Accord. I bought it, and the first time I sat in it I crashed the car. I had gone to pick up my then girlfriend, now wife.” He further joked, “I believe that when you scratch a car for the first time, you start enjoying it.”
