Quotes
Emraan Hashmi
Bollywood actor known for his roles in various films and his recent work on Netflix's Taskaree.
“The most difficult phase of my life was when my son fell ill in 2014. And I can't even express in words what that phase was. It went on for five years. My life changed in one afternoon. On 13th January, we went for brunch. We were eating pizza with my son. The first symptom appeared at that table. He passed blood in his urine.”

“In the next three hours, we were in a doctor's clinic. The doctor said that your son has cancer. You have to get him operated on in O.T. the next day. And then you have to undergo chemotherapy. So my whole world flipped in a matter of 12 hours.”
