It all started during Karan Johar’s show, Koffee With Karan. During a talk show appearance, Emraan Hashmi didn’t hold back when he named Mallika Sherawat as the “bad kisser” in response to a question. The remarks didn’t end there—when Karan Johar asked Emraan to name one thing he would find in Mallika’s bedroom, the actor quipped, “An idiot’s handbook to succeed in Hollywood.”

Emraan’s comments didn’t sit well with Mallika. Responding sharply, she fired back by saying that the snake she kissed in her film Hisss was a better kisser than him, turning their war of words into a much-discussed feud.

We were young and stupid at that time,” he said. Then he added, “There’s a phase in life when your decision-making power is so limited and you are just so impulsive. Some things were said by her, some by me; they were mean. I think it’s just bygones and we also kept that aside long back. It was very nice seeing her. She was very warm, I too was.”
