It reveals the man behind the limitless charm of Emraan Hashmi and how he dealt with his son’s illness.

“Amazing Reading”
Tisha
First of all sorry for reviewing this extremely touching and beautifully written book, so late. There is nothing that i can say now as all the adjectives and good things which i wanted to say about the book have been robbed by other fellow readers 🙂 When i finished reading this book i was really blown away by mr. bilals writing. This young gentleman is extremely talented and has proved it time and again. How can i forget about ayaanman who not only bravely faced such a deadly and grave disease but also came out unscathed as a winner and a stronger person which inspired many like me in the bargain. Emraan Hashmi the actor, the star who we watch and admire on the big screen locked horns with the situation fearlessly with lots of support from his loving wife parveen and were successful in keeping their only child away from harms way. So i sign out by requesting people who haven’t read this book to kindly grab a copy and do yourself a favor and not be deprived of such a fascinating and life changing experience…

A heart touching real life describing the feelings and predicaments of the FAmily And the patiend suffering from Cancer.A book that has a feeling of hope on every alternate page. Ayyan is a superhero in true sense. It is amazing to see how an innocent kid teach lessons of lifetime So easily. A must read for everyone. The only diference betwewn us and those shelved bottles is that their “best before” date is printed on their lids and ours is flying in the wind.

As a die-hard Emraan fan, I just had to read this book. But a book about his son’s cancer? I wasn’t sure how interesting it would be. Having finished it, this is not just a book about Ayaan’s cancer – it’s a book about how cancer affects a family, a marriage, a career and how it brings loved ones closer together. And it’s about a journey – Emraan’s journey through Bollywood and his growth from a laid-back actor to a committed, loving father. As an Emraan fan, I was glad for the window into Emraan’s life this book provided. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a quick read about a loving family and an amazing kid beating a horrible illness.

I would be making an understatement if I say that this book has left me speechless. From the starting till the end, all this book has given me is Goosebumps and tears. This story tells us how to fall and rise. A four-year- old boy, who deals with a life taking disease, still manages to smile and speak out the words of wisdom is not only encouraging but heartwarming as well.We all know Emraan Hashmi for the roles he plays on screen, but we never knew the things he was going through in his personal life while shooting for the films that we mockingly call – Flops. We, as an audience, are so used to judge a person by the performance he/she gives that we deliberately neglect the hardships that person might be facing during that period of his/her life. Same happened with Mr. Hashmi! While he was mocked to give out three flop films, he was trying hard to make his son fight the battle of cancer. Who knew, the person who was screaming and crying for the role of his film, was actually taking his frustration out – and all the director could say was EXCELLENT SHOT!
