Presently basking in the success of his last release with Tiger 3, Emraan Hashmi has been receiving a lot of appreciation for his performance in a negative role. However, there was also a time when Emraan actually stirred a lot of controversy for his remarks about actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and a few other celebrities on Koffee with Karan Season 4. In 2014, Emraan during his appearance on the show described the Ae Dil hai Mushkil actress as 'plastic,' leaving her fans quite upset with him.

The actor recently opened up on the same and spoke about the consequences that he faced due to his comments on the celebrity chat show.

In a conversation with Bollywood Bubble, Emraan while promoting his upcoming OTT show 'Showtime' said, "Talking about the show that you just said, I had to bear the brunt for it for quite some time," further recalling that it was during the rapid fire round when it happened.

In 2014, Emraan Hashmi appeared as a guest on Karan Johar's Koffee With Karan. During the rapid-fire round, when he was asked to name an actor that came to his mind on hearing the word 'plastic', the Tiger 3 actor spontaneously named Aishwarya Rai.
