Aishwarya Rai, Aamir Khan and Emraan Hashmi

Actor Emraan Hashmi too has become outspoken as his uncle filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt. The two of them were on Karan Johar’s chat show ‘Koffee with Karan’, and together they tore into Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Aamir Khan, Aishwarya Rai and Imran Khan. Bhatt labelled Bhansali an “overrated filmmaker”, Emraan went on to say that Aishwarya Rai is “plastic”, Aamir is “boring” and then used the “overrated” adjective for Imran.

According to sources, when Bhatt was asked about it he said, “Does this nation have no sense of humour? Or is the nation awed by their non-existent greatness? Koffee with Karan is a lighthearted show on which you are asked frivolous questions which you are expected to answer honestly. People have an opinion about Emraan and me, ditto for us. But this is all in context of the show. I have also demolished myself.”

Bhatt further added that, “Real artistes are are not in awe of themselves. They demolish themselves before anybody else demolishes them. These comments are not going to be preserved for posterity. I hope our opinions are taken in the right spirit. If you are in a public space you should take such comments with a pinch of salt.”

We think that the industry is very sensitive to such remarks.
