Emraan Hashmi On Taking Hit For Calling Aishwarya Rai ‘Plastic’: ‘I’ve Always Thought…’

Emraan Hashmi is busy promoting his new OTT show, Showtime. He was asked by Bollywood Bubble if his role on the web series, which was backed by Karan Johar, was like the actor in his 2014 episode of Koffee With Karan (KWK) season 4. He talked about the reaction he got when he called Aishwarya Rai “plastic” on the talk show.

“Everyone was shocked” on the KWK set

“Calling a spade a spade” is what Emraan Hashmi said about his role on Showtime. Regarding the show you mentioned (Koffee With Karan), I had to deal with a lot of backlash for a while because I called a spade a spade. What’s interesting is that Karan cut the shot when that rapid-fire round happened, and he just looked around the set, where everyone was shocked. His question was, “Can you keep this?” “Yes,” said a few guys behind the camera.”

They asked Emraan to name the star that comes to mind when he hears certain words during the rapid-fire round on Koffee with Karan. The moment Karan said “plastic,” Emraan said, “Aishwarya Rai.” After some time, Emraan made things clearer.

During an interview in 2014, Emraan said, “I didn’t mean it. My favourite actress is Aishwarya. It’s the format of the show. Without saying things, I won’t win the hamper. I love her. I’ve always thought her work was great. I was sure it would cause a lot of debate. What does it matter? People make a big deal out of nothing all the time.”
