Malaika Arora Addresses Inappropriate Behavior by Young Contestant on Hip Hop India, Says, 'Too much…'

Malaika Arora, currently judging the second season of Hip Hop India, recently called out a 16-year-old contestant for making inappropriate gestures towards her during his performance. After the performance, Malaika didn’t hold back and addressed the contestant’s behaviour.

Please give me your mother’s phone number. You are a 16-year-old kid. While dancing, he is looking at me and winking, (blowing) flying kisses

The clip quickly went viral, sparking widespread discussion and debate. While many praised Malaika for her composure and directness in addressing the situation, others expressed concern about the contestant's behavior and the implications for young viewers.

In a recent interview with ANI, Malaika reflected on the incident and explained her reaction. She clarified that she had no intention of reprimanding the contestant but felt he was doing “a little too much."

“Maybe that moment, I didn’t have any intention to scold him or tell him that what you’re doing is wrong. That wasn’t my intention. I was just going to say that you’re doing too much. Whatever you’re doing, tone it down a little. We’re your judges, and you’re 16 years old. We also blow kisses and do a little drama in performances, but maybe at that moment, I felt it was a bit too much," Malaika shared.

The second season of Hip Hop India is currently streaming on Amazon MX Player, featuring high-energy performances and intense competition. Despite her reaction, Malaika didn't hold back from praising the young performer. "He's an amazing dancer. He's a very nice kid, in fact," she added, acknowledging his talent.

Malaika serves as a judge alongside Remo D'Souza, who also expressed excitement about the show's progress. "There has been a lot of improvement from the first season to the second. The contestants this time have raised the bar," Remo said.
