Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi is known for many things but being religious isn’t one of them.
For some time now, speculation in Indian media, including on social media, has created the rumor that he is a Hafiz-e-Quran.
According to Indian media, these rumors started last year when Pakistani actress Humaima Malik mentioned in an interview, “Emraan Hashmi remembered some Quranic verses and used to recite them with me during shootings.”
However, a few days ago, Emraan Hashmi denied the claims during a podcast, a video of which has gone viral on social media.
“There is no truth in these claims; it is not like that, and I am not a Hafiz-e-Quran.” The Hindu host then asked him to explain what Hafiz-e-Quran means.
He replied, “Hafiz-e-Quran means someone who can recite the holy book correctly and accurately without looking at it.”
