Emraan Hashmi breaks silence on viral rapid fire from KWK 4

In a conversation with India Today, Emraan was asked if he would moderate his approach if he were to appear on the show now, especially considering the era of social media. 

The Jannat actor said that he would not moderate his approach. He explained that he lacks a filter and emphasized that he holds the highest regard for everyone mentioned in the Rapid Fire segment. He clarified that the show's tone should be considered, as remarks are made in jest or spontaneously in an attempt to win the hamper.

He continued, “Sometimes, you can rub off a few people incorrectly. There's a tonality of the show, and that's where we went with a certain way of just enjoying ourselves.”

The actor commented on the difficulty of expressing oneself freely in today's social media environment. He noted that It has become challenging to express thoughts as openly as a decade ago. There's pressure from what some call social media outrage or a prevailing woke culture, where conformity is expected. 

He further explained that in the context of the show, there was a clear understanding not to cross certain boundaries that could potentially offend. The show was produced approximately 10 years ago, so its tone may differ somewhat. The Showtime actor emphasized the importance of considering the tone and context when participating in a show or any professional work.
