Emraan Hashmi Regrets Calling Aishwarya Rai Bachchan “Plastic,” Apologizes for Distasteful Comment

Emraan Hashmi Apologizes for Calling Aishwarya Rai Bachchan "Plastic": "I Regret It, It Was Distasteful"

In a recent interview with Lallantop, Bollywood actor Emraan Hashmi addressed his controversial comment from 2014 when he referred to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as “plastic” during the rapid-fire round on Karan Johar’s talk show, Koffee with Karan. The actor, who faced significant backlash for his remark, expressed his regret and extended an apology to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

Reflecting on his past comment, Emraan Hashmi said, “I regret it. I keep saying that I have utmost respect for everyone I spoke about.” He further elaborated, “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. There are many such games in the show. Earlier, people weren’t this sensitive.”

Hashmi explained that his primary motivation at the time was to win the show’s coveted hamper, leading him to make the ill-considered remark. “At that time, I just wanted to win the hamper and I ended up saying what I said,” he admitted. He also pointed out that the atmosphere on shows like Koffee with Karan has changed, with people becoming more sensitive to such comments. “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 added.

Interestingly, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan never directly reacted to Hashmi’s comment. However, in a 2019 interview with Filmfare, she did mention that the worst thing anyone has ever said about her was that she is “fake and plastic.”

When asked if he had ever met Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Emraan Hashmi shared an anecdote from his early days in the industry. “I have waited outside Aishwarya Rai’s van for about three hours just to catch a glimpse of her after her film Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. I was a huge fan. Mohit and I were shooting in Filmistan, I told him, ‘You cannot go anywhere.’ So we waited together. I still am a big fan of hers,” he revealed.

Despite his admiration for Aishwarya, Hashmi admitted that he has never had the opportunity to meet or converse with her. He expressed his desire to apologize in person, saying, “I have never met her. I have never had a conversation with her. I would love to meet her. And I would love to apologize if she felt bad about it. I will have to meet her and ask her. I am sorry if I offended you.”
