Bollywood star and reality TV judge Malaika Arora recently lost her temper on a dance reality show when a 16-year-old contestant made obscene gestures while auditioning for the show.

This was during the episode telecast on March 14, where a contestant from Uttar Pradesh, Naveen Shah, tried to impress the 51-year-old actress with flirtatious gestures, including a wink and a flying kiss. Still, his behavior was not acceptable to Malaika, who immediately reprimanded him.

Malaika made it clear that such behavior was unacceptable. She firmly addressed him, saying, "Give me your mother's phone number. You are just a 16-year-old boy, dancing and winking at me?" Her reaction sent a strong message about maintaining decorum and respect, especially on a public platform.

A clip of the event has since circulated widely on social media, igniting a fierce debate. While numerous users complimented Malaika for standing up against inappropriate behavior, others deflected the moment as being a publicity stunt, asserting it was staged to get attention.

The moment has fueled debates on ethics in reality television, contestants' conduct, and showrunners' duty to provide a decent atmosphere. Whether scripted or unscripted, the moment has definitely made viewers talk, with social media polarized regarding Malaika's intense reaction.
