Karan Johar’s upcoming web series Showtime dropped its trailer on Tuesday and at the trailer launch, Karan played his famous rapid-fire round with Emraan Hashmi, who plays the lead role in the show. During their fun chat, Karan asked Emraan about one rumour about him that he would like to stop and the actor gave a hilarious answer.

“That I’m a good kisser,” Emraan said and then immediately added, “I’m not a good kisser, I’m the best.” Of course, his answer left everyone in splits. Emraan gained the name of ‘serial kisser’ in the 2000s when on-screen kissing was seen as taboo in Hindi films.

During the rapid fire, when Karan Johar asked Emraan Hashmi about the actor he would turn to for fitness inspiration, the Tiger 3 actor instantly said Salman Khan. When asked who he would consult for acting tips, Emraan confidently said that he didn’t need any tips. Finally, when Karan asked him about who he would turn to for relationship advice, Emraan said, “The way some relationships are going in the industry, I think I’ll give advice.” Emraan has been married to Parveen Shahani since 2006.

Emraan has previously appeared on Karan’s Koffee with Karan during the fourth season of the show and gave some fiery answers that created some controversy. He called Aishwarya Rai ‘plastic’ on the show but apologised later. In a chat with Hindustan Times in 2014, the actor said, “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 all the time.”
