# Emraan Hashmi Took Film For Rs 25 Lakh Dream Car 2026-08-20T19:28:23+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Emraan Hashmi recalled receiving his first “big” pay cheque of Rs 25 lakh and said he had taken up a film to buy his dream car. The actor said he also wanted to impress Parveen, who was his girlfriend at the time and is now his wife. Hashmi is associated with Awarapan 2. The anecdote links an early career decision to a personal financial goal and his relationship with Parveen. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Early film remuneration can vary widely based on an actor’s experience, role, production scale and negotiating position. A first substantial payment may also reflect a career stage when personal purchases carry more weight than long-term financial planning. For actors, such earnings are usually subject to taxes, professional fees and other costs, so the headline amount may not equal take-home income. The useful figure to watch is whether future accounts of Hashmi’s early career place this payment before or after his breakout films. ## Coverage - ndtv.com Personal anecdote presented without overt judgement or sensational framing This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
