‘Everyone was dumbfounded’ on KWK set
Emraan Hashmi said, “I am playing a fictional character here (Showtime), who calls a spade a spade. Talking about that show (Koffee With Karan) that you spoke about right now, well I had to bear the brunt for it for quite some time for really calling a spade a spade. You know what, when that rapid fire round happened, Karan had cut the shot, and he just looked around on the set and everyone was dumbfounded. He asked ‘Can you actually keep this (Emraan’s answer)?’ And a couple of people behind the camera said ‘Yes’.”

During the rapid fire round on Koffee with Karan, Emraan was asked to name the actor that comes to his mind, when he hears some particular words. As Karan said ‘plastic,’ Emraan replied, Aishwarya (Rai). Later, Emraan issued a clarification.
Reflecting on the comment, Emraan, in a 2014 interview had told Hindustan Times, “I didn’t mean it. I’m a big fan of Aishwarya. It’s the format of the show. I can’t not say things and not win the hamper. I love her. I have always been a great admirer of her work. I knew people would make a big deal out of it… so what, people make a big deal out of nonsense all the time.”
