When Emraan Hashmi Apologised To Aishwarya Rai For His Comment On Koffee With Karan. Reason Was...

Koffee With Karan 8 update: The world-renowned Indian actress, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, is often praised as one of the planet's most beautiful women. While fans and celebrities are in awe of her beauty, a particular comment by Emraan Hashmi during his appearance on the fourth season of Koffee with Karan had set several tongues wagging. Emraan had referred to her as 'plastic', leaving the host and Mahesh Bhatt surprised. This remark sparked waves and is said to have impacted Emraan's career, forcing him to apologise publicly several times in subsequent interviews.

What Emraan Hashmi said about Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

Hashmi, on his quest for the coveted Koffee Hamper, confessed that he made the comment knowing it would cause a stir. Speaking to Hindustan Times in 2014, Hashmi admitted that his comment was meant for the entertainment value that the show's format seeks. The actor professed his admiration for Aishwarya, criticising the audience for making a big deal out of it. Aishwarya, on the other hand, seemed unaffected by his apologies.

Zoom reported that Aishwarya wouldn't sign on for a film directed by Milan Luthria that Hashmi was attached to, indicating her refusal to forgive him, according to a report in Indian Express. In an interview with Filmfare in 2019, she claimed that being referred to as 'fake and plastic' was the worst criticism she's ever received.

Hashmi continues to put the blame on the show for coaxing out such a response from him. Fans have weighed in on the saga on Reddit, with many praising Aishwarya's 'classy' response. Both Aishwarya and Hashmi continue to be at the height of their popularity despite the incident.

Despite the storm of controversies, Koffee with Karan completed its seventh season last year. However, viewers unanimously considered it the least controversial season. The popular talk show will return for its eighth season, and it remains to be seen if it will be as melodramatic as the previous ones.

On the professional front, Emraan Hashmi will be next seen in Tiger 3, where he will lock horns with Salman Khan. The action entertainer will be the next big Hindi release after Jawan and Gadar 2.
