The incident occurred during the fourth season of Koffee with Karan when Emraan compared Aishwarya Rai to plastic in the rapid-fire round.This statement caused a huge uproar, and many people were angry with Emraan for his comment.
When asked about it, Emraan told The Lallantop, “I am very embarrassed by my statement. I also want to say that I respect Aishwarya Rai a lot. But my statement might have been disrespectful. If you take it out of the context of that show, it wasn’t right. In our culture, people get angry very quickly on social media. Many people have become sensitive.”

He further added, “Within the context of the show, it was a joke. In today’s culture, people take offense very quickly. I feel that today’s society has become such that you can’t give those kinds of answers anymore.”
When asked if he had ever met Aishwarya Rai, Emraan said, “During Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, I stood outside her vanity van for three hours to see her. I am a huge fan of hers. At that time, shooting was going on in Filmistan. My film Kasoor was being shot, and she was shooting Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. I wanted to meet her, but it didn’t happen. I have never met her personally. But whenever I do meet her, I will definitely apologize.”
