At the launch event on Friday, Malaika was asked what went on in her mind when she was touched by a contestant on the cheeks. She answered, “Yes I was a bit frightened because these are Covid times. He suddenly came near me and started touching my cheeks. I got really scared for a second. He was doing it with a lot of love and I feel very, very touched and very happy. But yes, I was bit scared for that second. I was thinking if his hand was sanitised."

He said, “Every time I see them, I say ‘wow’.” Geeta added, “It is very rare because she is such a big personality, who will go and directly touch her cheeks? Even we don't have such courage, he actually had the guts to do it, I think that was very sweet.”

Malaika was infected with Covid-19 last year and had quarantined herself at home. She had resumed her yoga routine after recovery.
