Emraan Hashmi, a renowned Bollywood actor, has been open about his experiences with customs in the past. In a recent interview, he revealed how his appearance, specifically his earrings, led to frequent profiling and random checks during his solo travels in the early 2000s. This phenomenon, known as 'profiling,' is a common issue faced by many individuals who don't fit the traditional mold. Emraan recalled the anxiety he felt while walking through the green channel, even though he had done nothing wrong. He compared this feeling to spotting a traffic cop while driving within the speed limit. The actor believes that his family, whom he now travels with, has helped to alleviate this issue, as customs officials no longer view him with the same level of suspicion. Emraan's experiences have inspired his new Netflix series, Taskaree: The Smuggler's Web, where he plays a customs officer tasked with dismantling smuggling rings. The show, created by Neeraj Pandey, promises to delve into the world of illegal trade and the complexities of customs enforcement. With his new role, Emraan is now calling the shots, a far cry from his days of being whisked away to the side. Taskaree: The Smuggler's Web is set to release on January 14, offering a gripping portrayal of the gritty world of customs and smuggling.
