Now, Malaika has opened up about the incident, explaining that she didn’t intend to scold the contestant, but rather wanted to tell him to tone down his actions.
Malaika said, “Maybe at that moment, I didn’t mean to scold him or tell him that what he was doing was wrong.

The video of the incident went viral on social media, with many users weighing in on the matter. While some felt that Malaika overreacted, others supported her for taking a stand against inappropriate behavior.
