INSPIRATION AND MOTIVATION BOOK

Recently, I got the chance to read the biography of the unconventional actor, Emraan Hasmi with co-author Bilal Siddiqi’s “The Kiss of Life.” The book is inspiring and motivating. It gives an inspiration to fight against cancer.

This book is the life of Hasmi when his son needed him the most, the time when all his other experiences paled in comparison to the tennis ball tumor that invaded his son’s kidney.

Furthermore, he describes about the hospital ward, chemo and the shivers. Not only this, he writes about his ups and downs in his career, the media branding him as a serial kisser, the type casting and so on.

He have mentioned about the first say on the sets of Footpath. While giving shots, he had to retake for 45 minutes. Not only this, when he didn’t play the movie Yeh Zindagi Ka Safar and later he was hurt when he saw Jimmy Shiergill in the movie. Moreover, he have also described about his family history. He writes the incident with vivid details, just as his father had narrated it to him.

Another character that is fondly remembered in this book is Hasmi’s grandmother Mehr-or Purnima as the film industry would name her. “She was a strong-willed woman. We would call her the ‘Mafia’ of our family,” Hasmi laughs. “It was a tough time when we lost her to Alzheimer’s in 2013.”

He also explained how he felt when he was in the film sets when his son was suffering from cancer. When he was shooting for Raja Natwarlal, his son and his wife were in Canada for the chemo sessions. The only way out was to focus all his pain into the scenes.

CONCLUSION

After reading the book, I learned about the Cancer. At the end of the page, he has given the description about Cancer and how to prevent from it. He has given the knowledge about nutrition. He believes in “Prevention is better than Cure.”

Writing this biography is to give readers information about his discoveries along the way. Emraan Hasmi has beautifully described about his career and how his son survived from cancer at the young age. After reading the book, we feel that how Emraan Hasmi deals with the situation and how to be strong.

It’s the inspiration book where it deals with the father son relationship. When Aryaan was suffering from Cancer, Emraan Hasmi convinces him for an injection and sends him to Canada with Praveen. He has mentioned that “I don’t know if I would have written a book if Aryaan, my son, hadn’t been diagnosed. This has been a life changing incident and I thought there was something wroth writing about. After writing quite a bit about the ordeal, I realised it is all too heavy for a reader.”

So, one must read the book as it is inspiration and motives the people.
