Did you know Emraan Hashmi was once superstitious about numbers 8 and 13? | – Times of India

Emraan Hashmi recently revealed that in his early years, he had a specific routine when checking into hotel rooms. He would instruct his directors and producers to calculate the digits of the room number. If the sum equaled 8 or 13, Emraan would avoid staying in those rooms.
During a recent conversation with Pinkvilla, Shriya Saran, who is part of Showtime, reminisced about their Awarapan days. She described Emraan as a very relaxed individual, portraying him as calm and sweet. Shriya mentioned his fixation with certain numbers, prompting Emraan to share the story of his past superstitions regarding specific numerical values.

He admitted to becoming fixated on the issue, developing an OCD-like behavior regarding the numbers 8 and 13. Initially, he perceived these numbers as unlucky, instructing his directors and producers to avoid assigning him rooms with specific numerical combinations. However, over time, he came to recognize that many positive occurrences in his life were associated with these numbers.

In an earlier interview with Indian Express, Emraan had discussed his debut film, highlighting that he initially entered the industry as a supporting actor. Despite being produced by his family members who owned Vishesh Films, his mother expressed concern for him. However, they decided to give him a chance based on his potential presence. Emraan’s journey began with small-budget films that aimed to distinguish themselves with bold content, excellent music, and talented artists. Gradually, these films gained success, leading to the progression from small to medium and eventually big-budget productions within the company.
