After Ayaan's cancer diagnosis, Emraan had co-written a book titled The Kiss of Life: How A Superhero and My Son Defeated Cancer. The book has details about the hardships he and his wife Parveen Shahani faced when Ayaan was diagnosed with cancer.
At an event on parenthood three years ago, Emraan said, "I think women are emotionally much stronger. When we came to know that our child had cancer, my wife did not cry while I burst into tears. Even during his whole treatment I had to come back occasionally for shooting but she was there throughout and I don't know how she managed to be so brave, hats off to her," news agency PTI had reported.
On the work front, Emraan Hashmi is currently awaiting the release of his film Why Cheat India.
