Emraan Hashmi On Calling Aishwarya 'Plastic'

Actor Emraan Hashmi caused controversy in 2014 by calling Aishwarya Rai Bachchan 'plastic' on 'Koffee With Karan 4'. 

Recently he expressed regret for his 10 year old remark and apologized if Aishwarya was offended. 

In an interview with The Lallantop, Emraan admitted his comment was distasteful and explained that it was made in jest during the show's Rapid Fire round. 

He noted that people have become more sensitive and that such comments are no longer acceptable.

Emraan revealed he has great respect for Aishwarya and is a big fan though he has never met her. 

He recounted waiting outside her van for three hours after her film 'Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam' just to see her. 

Emraan emphasized his admiration and desire to apologize personally. 

He acknowledged that the show’s environment has changed with even host Karan Johar admitting the latest season's Rapid Fire round was less entertaining due to increased sensitivity. 

Emraan concluded by expressing his wish to meet Aishwarya and apologize if he caused any hurt.
