Malaika was entrusted with the job of setting a task for the contestants of the UTV Stars' show, aimed at finding the face for the channel.
After the participants completed the given task, Malaika was supposed to give her feedback. However, her remarks did not go down too well with one contestant named Drishti.
She later complained of not being treated equally as others because of her weight, said a source.
The show started with 11 girls, giving them a chance to romance with glamour. They have to accomplish certain tasks to prove their capability to deal with glamour.
Malaika has earlier judged dance reality shows like "Nach Baliye", "Zara Nachke Dikha" and "Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa", and came across as a compassionate, yet straightforward judge.
