Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi has shared a personal experience of being frequently stopped at immigration checks during his travels. In a candid conversation at a recent event, Emraan attributed his past encounters to possibly his distinctive earrings, which may have raised suspicions among authorities. He recalled being stopped at immigration multiple times, particularly in the early 2000s, and likened the experience to feeling anxious when encountering a traffic officer. According to Emraan, the fear of being stopped was largely illogical, but he suspects that his appearance may have fit the profile of a suspicious individual. He noted that when traveling with his family, he has not faced any issues at immigration, suggesting that profiling may have played a role in his past experiences. Emraan's upcoming web series, Taskaree: The Smuggler's Web, explores the world of customs officers and smuggling, with Emraan playing the role of a customs officer. The series is set to premiere on Netflix on January 14. Emraan's candid admission highlights the complexities of profiling and the importance of not jumping to conclusions based on appearance.
