Emraan Hashmi loves to paint and he had kept it a secret until now.

He's just crazy about painting in his free time. The actor has studied the art in his college days and the buzz is that knows the basic techniques in sketching and painting.

However, the talent remained dormant until he got the role of a painter in 'Raaz - The Mystery Continues'.

Apart for 'Raaz', he's also playing a painter in 'Tum Mile' opposite Soha Ali Khan.

Reportedly Emraan rekindled his passion with some guidance from artist Sailesh Achrekar.

He has already made a couple of paintings and sketches that he has gifted to his wife Praveen, who found them quite good.

He has vowed to hone his skills further and pursue his passion more regularly.

Looks like after Salman, Bollywood has found another star painter.
