While chatting with Oscars Ambassador Amelia Dimoldenberg, Koshy poked fun at her mishap.

"Did you see me eat it?" she asked Dimoldenberg, to which the presenter enquired: "What do you mean, 'eat'?"

"I fell," Koshy replied, causing Dimoldenberg to exclaim: "No you didn't."

"I'm joining a legendary group of women like J.Law who fell on the carpet," Koshy added, referencing Jennifer Lawrence's famous fall while collecting her Best Actress award in 2013.

"[I] made a whole moment of it," she continued. "I said 'Wait a minute, I'm not nominated, I'm not presenting, I've gotta fall.

"God said 'Boop, you're gonna have a character arc after this."
