In an interview with Connect FM Canada, the actor shared an anecdote about being starstruck by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. He recounted a time when he, along with his cousin Mohit Suri, who was also an assistant director, waited outside Aishwarya’s vanity van for around one-and-a-half hours.This incident occurred when they were working as assistant directors for the film ‘Raaz.’ Emraan mentioned that he had never done something like that before but was a huge fan of Aishwarya since watching her film ‘Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam‘.
In a Koffee With Karan episode almost a decade ago, Emraan Hashmi was asked by Karan Johar to name an actor or actress that comes to his mind when he hears the word ‘plastic.’ Emraan mentioned Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s name, which stirred controversy among her fans. However, in a 2014 interview with Hindustan Times, Emraan apologized for his statement, clarifying, “I didn’t mean it. I’m a big fan of Aishwarya. It’s the format of the show. I cannot 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.
