Malaika Arora scolds 16-year-old for inappropriate dance on Hip-Hop India 2

Actress and dancer Malaika Arora has judged several dance reality shows. Recently, she took a firm stand against the performance of a 16-year-old contestant on Hip Hop India Season 2. She scolded the contestant for his suggestive gestures during his performance on stage. Malaika is a judge on the show alongside choreographer-director Remo D’Souza.

The new season of Hip Hop India went live on March 14 on Amazon MX Player. It was during the first episode that Malaika lost her cool at a contestant. The moment was captured in a video that has surfaced on social media.

Naveen Shah, 16, from Uttar Pradesh, performed suggestive dance gestures directed at Malaika during the audition round. The judge became uncomfortable with the performance and was visibly upset. She promptly scolded the contestant for his behavior.

After he finished his performance, Malaika expressed her anger towards him and said, “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.”

Remo tried to diffuse the tension by injecting a bit of humor. In a lighthearted tone, the choreographer-filmmaker asked the contestant whether he takes after his mother or his father.

Other contestants also questioned his behavior, with one of them saying, “It was right to scold him. He did it in front of her?”

The judges eventually calmed down, and the situation was brought under control. The contestant’s father was called on stage, and the judges joked with him. Speaking about his son’s behavior, the boy’s father said, “He looks innocent, but he isn’t. He keeps chatting with girls throughout the night.”
