Indian Idol 11: Contestant forcibly kisses judge Neha Kakkar on stage

Celebrities love it when fans shower them with their affection. But more often than not, fans happen to cross the line of propriety and encroach into the celebrity's personal space. A similar unpleasant incident on the sets of Indian Idol is proof.

Neha Kakkar, who is judging the current season of singing reality show Indian Idol along with two other singer-composers, Anu Malik and Vishal Dadlani, had a weird experience on the show.

The official handle of Sony TV had shared the promo video of the last weekend on Instagram, in which a contestant, dressed in Rajasthan attire, is seen saying, "pehchana aapne?" as he walks onto the stage amid Kakkar and the show's host, Aditya Narayan.

Kakkar recognises him and moves forward to accept his gift and hug him. Just then, the contestant plants a kiss on her cheeks, without her consent, leaving Malik, Dadlani and Narayan shocked.

The now-deleted snippet showed how Neha Kakkar immediately moves back, hiding her face in embarrassment.

Neha Kakkar made her debut as a contestant in Indian Idol Season 2. And now she has graduated to the judges' panel since the last two seasons - Indian Idol 10 and Indian Idol 11.
