Born in February 2010, Ayaan, the first child of Emraan and wife Parveen Shahani, was diagnosed with first stage cancer at the age of four in early 2014.

In 2016, Emraan also wrote a book titled "The Kiss Of Life" on Ayaan's battle with cancer.

On the work front, Emraan Hashmi is all geared up for his next Bollywood offering Why Cheat India, which is slated to release on January 18.

The film was earlier titled Cheat India but the lack of time left the makers of Cheat India no choice but to agree to a new title "Why Cheat India" upon the censor board's suggestion. But the film's actor and producer Emraan Hashmi says it is "illogical" and "ridiculous".

Why Cheat India is about the education system. It marks Emraan's debut as a producer.
