The moment appeared to mark the end of their 20-year feud, which stemmed during filming of Murder.
During an interview in 2021, Mallika spoke about the falling out and admitted it was “childish”.
She explained: “The funniest was with Emraan Hashmi after or during Murder.
“We didn’t speak and now I think it was so childish. It was after the film I think during promotions or something we had a misunderstanding.
“It was so uncalled for and so childish on my part also.”
In a 2014 episode of Koffee with Karan, Emraan Hashmi made controversial comments about Mallika.
When Karan Johar asked Emraan to name his best and worst onscreen kisses, Emraan said his “worst onscreen kiss” was with Mallika, while he called Jacqueline Fernandez a better kisser in Murder 2.
On what one might find in Mallika’s bedroom, Emraan replied:
“An idiot’s guide to succeed in Hollywood.”
Mallika fired back at Emraan’s kiss jibe, stating that the snake she kissed in her film Hisss was a better kisser than her Murder co-star.
