The actor was asked if he regrets calling Aishwarya “plastic”, to which the actor shared, “I regret it. I keep saying that I have utmost respect for everyone I spoke about. I regret it because it was distasteful. Lately, people have become very sensitive. People get mad at everything on social media. In terms of the show, we were playing a game, it was all in jest. It was supposed to be taken sportingly. There are many such games in the show. Earlier, people weren’t this sensitive.” He added, “I would love to apologise if she felt offended.”

Emraan also pointed out that Karan Johar recently confessed that “the rapid-fire round in the latest season of the show was the most boring”. He feels it is because now, the environment has completely changed.
