Emraan Hashmi regrets calling Aishwarya Rai Bachchan “Plastic” on Koffee with Karan: “I just wanted to win the hamper and I ended up saying what I said”

Actor Emraan Hashmi has addressed a comment he made a decade ago on Karan Johar’s chat show, Koffee with Karan. During the show’s rapid-fire round in 2014, Emraan referred to actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as “plastic,” sparking a lot of controversy. In a recent interview with The Lallantop, Emraan has expressed regret for his remark.

Emraan Expresses His Regret For Calling Aishwarya “Plastic”

When asked directly if he regretted his comment about Aishwarya, Emraan readily replied, “I regret it. I always say that I have the utmost respect for everyone I spoke about.” He further explained his regret, stating, “I regret it because it was distasteful. Lately, people have become very sensitive. People get mad at everything on social media. In terms of the show, we were playing a game, it was all in jest. It was supposed to be taken sportingly.”

Emraan Speaks About Koffee With Karan’s Competitive Nature

Emraan compared the situation to the present, highlighting how social media has changed the landscape. “Recently, Karan Johar himself confessed that the rapid fire round in the latest season of the show was the most boring. It’s because now, the environment has completely changed. You can’t give such answers anymore,” he said. He admitted that his comment stemmed from the show’s competitive nature, “At that time, I just wanted to win the hamper and I ended up saying what I said.”

When Emraan stood outside Aishwarya’s Vanity Van

Interestingly, Emraan revealed his long-standing admiration for Aishwarya. Although Aishwarya never directly addressed the comment, she did mention in a 2019 interview with Filmfare that being called “fake and plastic” was one of the worst things said about her. Recalling a moment from his early days as a fan, Emraan said, “I waited for hours outside Aishwarya’s van after Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam just to catch a glimpse of her. I was a huge fan!”

Emraan Speaks On Personally Apologising Aishwarya

Despite his efforts, Emraan never got to meet Aishwarya. “I have never met her. I have never had a conversation with her,” he said. “I would love to meet her. And I would love to apologise if she felt bad about it. I will have to meet her and ask her. I am sorry if I offended you.”

There were also rumors suggesting Aishwarya declined a film with Emraan due to his comment. However, Emraan denied these rumors, stating, “I have heard these rumours, but I don’t think it holds any truth. I think people just made a big deal out of it. I honestly don’t know if something of that sort ever happened.”

Coming to the professional front, Emraan is currently promoting his latest web show, Showtime. Recently the makers shared part 2 of season 1 on Disney+ Hotstar. The show also stars Naseeruddin Siddiqui, Rajeev Khandelwal, and Mouni Roy, among others.

22 years of Devdas EXCLUSIVE: Sanjay Leela Bhansali didn’t lose his cool despite this actress needing retakes: “It was a little complex shot”

Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Devdas (2002) remains one of his most iconic works. Based on the story by the late celebrated author Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay, the movie starred Shah Rukh Khan in the titular role while Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Madhuri Dixit played Paro and Chandramukhi respectively. The film became a runaway success and swept most of the awards that year.

Devdas was also one of the earliest films for actress Nehha Pendse, who was a teenager back then. She played the character of Chaurangi, one of the girls in Chandramukhi’s palace.

Sanjay Leela Bhansali is known to be a strict taskmaster. There are also stories about his anger. However, Nehha’s experience of working with him was exactly the opposite. She revealed this while recalling an incident during the film’s shoot in an exclusive chat with Bollywood Hungama.

“This is also what I heard (that Bhansali is a strict taskmaster). But my experience of him, not just with me but my observation of him during Devdas was very different. He was the coolest and extremely patient,” she said.

Nehha recalled an interesting incident during a scene she shot. “In fact, I remember one incident very clearly,” she said. “It was a little complex shot between me, Madhuri and others where retakes were happening because of me. It was because I wasn’t doing my part correctly. But he was so patient! Not one set of anger, nothing whatsoever. I was feeling guilty for taking retakes, but he was so chilled. Of course, I was a child. He took care of me.”

Nehha added, “So, I, honestly, have a very different experience of him. I am a little surprised when I hear all these stories of him losing his cool. My personal experience, not just with me but, like I said, being on the set in general (with him) has been very nice, beautiful and memorable.”

Nehha has always been a die-hard fan of Shah Rukh Khan, even when she was shooting Devdas. There was also a moment in the film where she shared the screen with SRK. However, she couldn’t speak to him due to an unusual reason.

“If I have to be very honest, I was a 15-16-year-old very shy girl,” she said. “He is the most courteous man ever. He is going to wish good mornings and good nights to everyone who comes in his eyesight. He makes you feel comfortable, happy, everything. I was so shy that I didn’t even have the courage to wish him good night back. I just used to smile and look down because dil mein laddoo phoot te the (I was all excited from inside).”

Nehha added that she hasn’t got a chance to meet SRK again. But if she does, she won’t let the opportunity go by abegging.
