His remark in 2014 sparked an enormous backlash and Emraan confronted penalties for his phrases. In a latest interview with The Lallantop, Emraan spoke about his comment. He mentioned, “I regret it. I keep saying that I have utmost respect for everyone I spoke about. I regret it because it was distasteful. Lately, people have become very sensitive. People get mad at everything on social media.
