‘Because Awards Stopped Coming Her Way’ Emraan Hashmi Takes Dig At Kangana For Her ‘Award Shows Are Useless’ Comment

Emraan Hashmi is known for his unfiltered nature. Be it his ‘serial kisser’ image or film background, he never shies away from accepting reality. Meanwhile, Emraan Hashmi has come into the limelight due to his latest statement on award ceremonies. He has also been seen taking an indirect dig at actress-politician Kangana Ranaut. Emraan Hashmi avoids award ceremonies and he talked about this in a podcast interview with Shubhankar Mishra.

During the conversation, he was also seen taking a dig at Kangana Ranaut’s comment. Kangana Ranaut had said in a statement that she does not take part in award shows because she finds it all useless. When Emraan was asked to talk about his opinion on award shows, and asked if he also finds award shows useless like Kangana, the actor was seen taking a dig at Kangana Ranaut.

The actor quipped that she has stopped getting awards, maybe that’s why she is saying this. Emraan Hashmi said, ‘Because the awards stopped coming after that? I remember I won an award once but soon I understood the whole game behind it. This is a kind of deal, you come and dance.’ Emraan further added, ‘Right now I will not say that this is not good, I will not refuse awards, those who want to decorate their living room should do it.’

Emraan Hashmi continued his talk and said, ‘But I cannot pat my back and say that I have performed well because this is a lie. If you have performed well then you should win. If this is a barter deal then what is the meaning of winning?’ Emraan Hashmi clarified that this is the reason why he stopped being a part of award shows. Discussing Kangana Ranaut’s complaint about award ceremonies, the actor said, ‘If you are an outsider then it is good to oppose something, but if you keep saying this again and again then it becomes a hindrance. I would not like to use such a harsh word, but it is an excuse when you should move on.’ On the work front, Emraan will soon be seen in the web series ‘Showtime’. It will stream on OTT platform Disney Plus Hotstar on July 12.
