His debut film, Footpath, released in 2003, didn’t exactly set the cash registers ringing, but it did brand him as Bollywood’s ‘serial kisser’. Emraan Hashmi built on this reputation with Murder, Anurag Basu’s thriller co-starring Mallika Sherawat, and he’s been on a roll ever since. Next, he will be seen in Once Upon A Time In Mumbai where he plays a character loosely based on Dawood Ibrahim.

If you were stranded on a desert island and could keep five things with you, what would you choose?
My phone, a DVD player, video game console, a plasma TV and shades. I am assuming that there is going to be electricity on that island.
If you could go back in time, which period of history would you go back to and why?
