Emraan Hashmi's son, Ayaan Hashmi was just four years old in 2010 when he was diagnosed with cancer, as Malignant tumour cells were found in his kidney. While every parent wishes good health for their kids, Emraan and his wife, Parveen were shattered to hear the news. They knew that they had to be strong for their kid, and had decided to take their son to Canada for his treatment. It was after five long years that Ayaan had won the battle against cancer.
Emraan Hashmi had shared the good news of his son’s recovery on his Instagram handle. Sharing some beautiful pictures, Emraan had captioned them with a note that could be read as "Today, 5 years after his diagnosis Ayaan has been declared cancer-free. It has been quite a journey. Thank you for all your prayers and wishes. Love and prayers for all the cancer fighters out there, hope and belief go a long way. You can WIN this battle !!! #thekissoflife."

Now, in a conversation with Bollywood Bubble, the Chehre actor, Emraan Hashmi recalled what his family went through during their son’s battle with cancer. Emraan shared that they still wonder from where they had got the courage to fight with the situation. He said, “I dont know, Like I was talking about it to my wife the other day, I still dont know where we got the courage when we got the courage to deal with it. But I think when you fight you dont think about it, that is what happens, you dont think about much.”
Emraan further shared that the only ray of hope for them was the idea that Ayaan will be fine soon. He added, “You are just all in and do that fight. More than us it was my son who was going through the physical pain or whatever he was for so many years. I think the ray of hope for my family was just the fact that we knew that he would be okay and it’s that energy is kind of why things fell in place.”
