Back in 2019, Neha Kakkar was forcibly kissed by an 'Indian Idol' contestant on the stage of the show during the audition. Read on to know what happened.
Singers Neha Kakkar, Vishal Dadlani and Anu Malik were the judges on the eleventh season of the popular singing reality show, Indian Idol. When the auditions of the show took place, a contestant named Milan Rajput took everyone by surprise with his over-the-board affection towards Neha Kakkar. When the Diamond Da Challa singer went on the stage to greet him, he inappropriately tried to plant a kiss on Neha's cheeks.
A video of the same surfaced on the internet. As revealed in the clip, Milan, all dressed up in a traditional Rajasthani outfit, brought several gifts for Neha Kakkar. He carried a teddy bear and some other gifts wrapped up in a pink paper. At first, Milan expressed that he was a huge fan of Anu Malik. When Vishal interrupted him and asked him about the gifts, Milan mentioned that the gifts were for Neha Kakkar.

As soon as Neha walked on the stage, Milan held Neha’s hand and expressed his feelings for her. More so, he also went down on his knee and asked her to marry him. Interestingly, Mikan had a tattoo on his hand with Neha's initials. The host of the show, Aditya Narayan, jokingly interrupted the duo and was surprised to see the tattoo on his hand.
After Neha received the teddy bear from him, the Indian Idol contestant went on to forcibly kiss her, leaving all the judges on the panel, as well as Aditya, startled. Sony TV's official Twitter handle had posted a video of the same; however, later it was removed by the makers of the show as it received backlash from netizens. Check out the video below shared by a YouTuber user.
When a netizen tagged Vishal and fumed on Twitter, the judge was quick to react. In his tweet, Vishal remarked that he suggested calling the police, but Neha decided to let the guy off the hook. Vishal continued that the contestant definitely needed psychiatric help, and the team would try to help him get that if they could.
