Talking about the incident, Malaika Arora, had last week said, “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.”

Co-judge Geeta, on the other hand, had called the fan’s gesture “sweet”. She had said, “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.”

“Every time I see them, I say ‘wow’,” Terrance Lewis, who is the third judge, said.
