  "account": "In 2014, during a rapid-fire round on Koffee With Karan, actor Emraan Hashmi called actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan \"plastic,\" a comment that has remained one of the most controversial moments from the show. Despite initially regretting his answer and expressing admiration for Aishwarya, Emraan later explained that his remark was influenced by the format of the show and his desire to win the rapid-fire hamper. Aishwarya has never directly reacted to the remark, but in a 2019 interview with Filmfare, she described being called \"fake and plastic\" as the worst thing said about her.",
