Meanwhile, Malaika Arora recently made headlines after a video of her reprimanding a 16-year-old contestant for his inappropriate dance gestures, went viral. She requested the contestant's mother's contact information in response to the situation.

In the latest episode of MX Player's "Hip Hop India Season 2," the young contestant's suggestive gestures toward Malaika during his performance left her visibly upset, leading to a firm reaction from the actress. After the performance, Malaika expressed her displeasure, saying, "Please give me your mother's phone number. You're just 16, and yet you're looking at me, winking, and blowing kisses during your dance.' The situation was defused when the contestant's father was called on stage. Following this, Malaika and judge Remo D'Souza later had a lighthearted exchange with the contestant.

Meanwhile, the Chaiyya Chaiyya girl is currently judging the reality show 'Hip Hop India Season 2' with Remo D'Souza.
