The 2005 film Aashiq Banaya Aapne featured Emraan Hashmi and Tanushree Dutta in a series of steamy scenes, particularly in the title song that became iconic for its intense romantic vibe. However, Tanushree Dutta recently described their on-screen chemistry as akin to a sibling bond, which has stirred quite a bit of conversation.
In his latest interview, Emraan Hashmi was asked about the impact of the song and whether it influenced an entire generation. Hashmi took the opportunity to address Dutta’s remarks directly. He noted that he had heard about Dutta’s comments but wasn’t sure if they were quoted verbatim. He mentioned that he found it puzzling, given that their on-screen relationship was depicted with considerable romantic intensity. Hashmi expressed his curiosity about the direction they received from the filmmakers, as he and Dutta seemed to have had different interpretations of their roles. He clarified that he was never informed that their chemistry was meant to represent a brother-sister dynamic.
Tanushree Dutta’s comments came amid a broader discussion about the judgment she faces for performing intimate scenes. In a previous interview with Filmygyan, Dutta had opened up about the scrutiny she endures for her on-screen portrayals, stating that even top actresses have done similar scenes but aren’t judged as harshly. She expressed frustration at being criticized for her roles and attire, asserting that such judgments are unfair and that acting involves embodying different personas, which shouldn’t be misconstrued as reality.
Dutta emphasized that her on-screen chemistry with Emraan Hashmi was purely professional and that any perception of a sibling-like bond was not the intention behind their portrayal. She also highlighted how she and Hashmi were simply executing their roles as directed, without any personal undertones.
