Another mentioned, "She's uncomfortable.."

Karan asked Mahima, "What is the meanest thing a director has said to you?"

About Mahima Makwana's role in the show

Makwana plays the role of a reporter. The actor is not from the industry and despite being an outsider, Makwana is known for her stellar performances in different shows and films.

Karan and Emraan's rapid fire at the trailer launch of Showtime

During their fun chat, Karan asked Emraan about one rumour about him that he would like to stop and the actor gave a hilarious answer.

"That I'm a good kisser," Emraan said and then immediately added, "I'm not a good kisser, I'm the best."

During the rapid-fire, when Karan Johar asked Emraan Hashmi about the actor, he would turn to for fitness inspiration, the Tiger 3 actor instantly said Salman Khan.

When asked who he would consult for acting tips, Emraan confidently said that he didn't need any tips.

Karan quizzed him about who would he turn to for relationship advice, Emraan said, "The way some relationships are going in the industry, I think I'll give advice

Karan Johar said, "Emraan is dashing, gorgeous, good-looking, good kisser as a producer I haven't matched any of those four qualities that Emraan has in abundance. I promise you he said he is not a good kisser; he is a great kisser. I am a terrible kisser."

Emraan was monikered as the 'serial kisser' in the 2000s when on-screen kissing was seen as taboo in Hindi films.

Karan Johar shared the trailer of 'Showtime' on his Instagram.

Expressing his enthusiasm for the project, Emraan stated, "Having experienced the industry's highs and lows, I resonated with 'Showtime' instantly and eagerly embraced the opportunity to be a part of it."
