When Emraan Hashmi advised Ranbir Kapoor to 'stop playing the ladies' man'

Before transitioning into intense roles in thrillers and action dramas, Emraan Hashmi was famous not just for his bold on-screen persona but also for his sharp tongue off-screen. A perfect example was his appearance on Koffee with Karan Season 4 in 2014, where he dropped truth bombs that are still talked about today. Sitting beside his uncle Mahesh Bhatt, the actor's responses during the rapid-fire round were both savage and unforgettable.

Blunt advice to Ranbir Kapoor
When host Karan asked Emraan for advice to Ranbir Kapoor, who was the dominating headlines for his love life, he coolly responded, “Stop playing the ladies’ man stereotype. The press wants it more than you.”

Message for Deepika & Katrina
Emraan didn’t stop there. When asked what advice he had for Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif, both linked to Ranbir at different points, he simply said, “Lose him.” His blunt remark hinted that he didn’t see Ranbir as an ideal partner for either of the talented actresses. Fans and media alike were stunned by his honesty, and the clip remains a memorable moment in KWK history.

Ranbir marries Alia
Adding a delicious twist to the tale, years later, Ranbir went on to marry Alia Bhatt, Mahesh Bhatt’s daughter and Emraan’s cousin. The actress had even confessed a crush on Ranbir during her KWK debut in the same season. Today, the couple are proud parents to daughter Raha.

On the work front
Emraan was recently seen in ‘Ground Zero’, an action thriller directed by Tejas Prabha Vijay Deoskar. He plays BSF officer Narendra Nath Dhar Dubey, who led a crucial operation to eliminate terrorist Ghazi Baba in 2003. The film stars Emraan alongside Sai Tamhankar and Zoya Hussain, showcasing his continued evolution as a versatile performer.
