Almost a decade after his controversial comment on Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Emraan Hashmi recalled being star-struck by the actress.
Emraan Hashmi is one of the most talented actors in the Hindi film industry. Hailed for his masterclass performances, Emraan made his acting debut with the movie, Footpath. Apart from that, he was seen in several other movies, such as Kalyug, Aksar, Gangster, Jannat, and Murder 2, among others. Currently, Emraan is basking in glory for his recently released film, Tiger 3. However, it was his presence in Koffee With Karan 4 that sparked a lot of controversy as he made some remarks about Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. And now, years later, the actor recalled being starstruck by none other than the actress.
In a recent interview with Connect FM Cannada, Emraan Hashmi revealed his fanboy moment with none other than Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. The actor recalled being awestruck by the actress and waiting for hours to have a glimpse of her. Recalling the incident, Emraan shared that during the filming of the movie, Raaz, where he was an assistant director, he went outside Aishwarya's van and waited for one and a half hours to just watch her because he was blown away totally by her grace after watching Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam. Emraan recalled:
"I have been starstruck by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Actually, I had never done this before. I waited outside her van when I was an assistant director with my cousin Mohit Suri. He was also an assistant at that time. I waited for atleast for one-and-a-half-hours. I had not done that before. It was ridiculous. We were assisting for Raaz but before that I had seen her film Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam and I was a huge fan. I wanted to get a glimpse of her.”

To this, Emraan quickly took Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's name. However, Emraan taking Aishwarya's name on the word 'plastic' was not liked by the diva's fans, who started bashing the actor.
