Emraan Hashmi has impressed the audience with his performance in Maneesh Sharma’s latest directorial Tiget 3 and is now all set for his upcoming show ‘Show time’ which will stream on Disney + Hotstar.
In a recent interview, the actor recalled a backlash he faced after he referred to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as ‘plastic’ on an episode of Karan Johar’s popular chat show Koffee with Karan.
He also revealed that Karan initially cut that shot.
The actor said, "Talking about Koffee With Karan, well I had to bear the brunt for it for quite some time for really calling a
spade a spade. You know what, when that rapid-fire
round happened, Karan had cut the shot, and he just
looked around on the set and everyone was
dumbfounded. He asked can you actually keep
this ?' And a couple of people
behind the camera said Yes'."
The actor further clarified that he was just going with the flow of the show and had no intentions to hurt anyone.
Emraan said, "I didn't mean it. I'm a big fan of Aishwarya. It's the format of the show. I can't not say things and not win the hamper. I love her. I have always been a great admirer
of her work. I knew people would make a big deal out
of it; so what, people make a big deal out of nonsense all the time."
It happened during the rapid fire round when the actor was supposed to answer what comes to his mind after hearing the following names. When Karan took the name of actress, Emraan replied, “plastic.”
