Emraan Hashmi, while stating his stance on award shows, remarked that he wouldn’t criticize them, though he humorously suggested that those who want to decorate their living rooms are welcome to attend.
Kangana Ranaut has been outspoken about her disdain for award shows, claiming they are solely driven by TRPs, where stars perform and then receive awards. Emraan Hashmi, who also shuns award ceremonies, shared his thoughts on a podcast interview with Subhankar Mishra, where he appeared to mock Kangana’s views indirectly.
Emraan Hashmi’s Response to Kangana Ranaut’s Claim
During the interview, Emraan was asked about his opinion on award shows and whether he agrees with Kangana’s viewpoint that they are useless. He responded with a hint of sarcasm,
“Kyuki milna band ho gaya phir uske baad? Mujhe ek award mila I forget… for which I went to the award ceremony and mujhe iske baad iss cheez ka ek value pata chali ki iske peeche game kya hein. Agar aap perform kar rahe hein woh ek baat he… it is essentially a barter deal (Because she stopped getting awards? I forgot which award I got, but I realized what goes on behind this. If you perform for them, it’s a deal).”
Emraan Says Awards has ‘No Real Value’ Now
He further elaborated,
“Abhi main ye nahi kahunga ki ye achha nahi hein. I won’t diss on awards. Jin logon ko apna living room sajana hein woh kare! Wo jaake perform karke… I can’t pat myself on the back saying, ‘Maine aisi performance di hein kyuki ye jhoot baat hein. Usme honesty honi chahiye ki award isliye mila hein kyuki apki performance achchi thi. Toh fir award ka fayda hi kya agar ek barter deal hein toh. Uska value hi nahi he”
(Now I won’t criticize them, but those who want to decorate their living rooms can attend award shows. I can’t do that because it must have some honesty based on your performance, otherwise there is no value).”
