With the long weekend giving you enough time to relax and be away from work, it is the perfect excuse to grab your popcorn and binge-watch some of the latest OTT releases. One of the recently released shows that has been garnering eyeballs is Showtime, starring Emraan Hashmi. While he delivered an exceptional performance, his wife has some other issues with him.

The Murder actor is busy promoting his digital debut, Showtime, a web series revolved around the filthy politics and dirty drama of Bollywood. In a recent interview with Janice Sequeira, Emraan Hashmi revealed that his wife, Parveen Shahani, has been threatening to leave him.

Alongside Emraan playing the main lead in the web series, Showtime also stars Naseeruddin Shah, Mouni Roy, and Mahima Makwana in prominent roles.

In the same interview, the Aashiq Banaya Aapne actor revealed he has been eating the same meal for the past two years. While the diet looks all healthy and nouritious, it seems Parveen is not quite pleased with his food choices.

Talking about her reaction, Emraan said, "My wife is thinking of leaving me. She keeps threatening me but has not done it yet. She doesn't like what I eat, and I've been following this particular diet for two years. The salad has avocado, Brussels sprouts, lettuce, rocket leaves,... Then I have keema and sweet potatoes. This is both lunch and dinner."

While his food habits upset Parveen, the actor confesses that he wants to continue the same diet plan to maintain a good physique.

"Just switch to sweet potatoes. So I've got two staple meals every day, and I've got the same thing every year. It's extremely boring, but I've got chicken keema because it's kind of easy to digest and it's boiled. Then I've got salad and sweet potatoes. My cook stocks it, makes it for like an entire week, and we bifurcate through the day," Hashmi said.

Emraan Hasmi on his character in Showtime

In an interview with Mid-Day, Emraan Hashmi was asked about his character and if it was based on Karan Johar's life. Denying the same, he mentioned the script is totally anecdotal.



"Not true at all. If you ask the writers or the director, they will probably not give you an answer they'll say that it's based on any producer. Through their experiences in the industry, it's a sum total of a lot of people they have encountered, interactions that they have had, and anecdotal stuff that they have probably heard. Maybe as an audience member, you might pick up a similarity with a real person," said the actor.

Showtime premieres on Disney+ Hotstar and is headlined by Emraan Hashmi, Naseeruddin Shah, Rajeev Khandelwal, and Mouni Roy. It is produced by Karan Johar's Dharmatic Entertainment.
