Taking to his Twitter account, the actor wrote, "And all this because some person thousands of miles away wanted to have a freakish culinary experience like eating a bat (sic)."

Emraan vented his ire on someone in the faraway Chinese city of Wuhan who might have consumed an infected bat to contract COVID-19, and then pass it on to others, thereby planting the seed of the ongoing global pandemic. This is one of the several myths that has been doing the rounds about the origin of the disease. Hashmi couldn't care less.
