RJ Malishka’s dance For Neeraj Chopra during interview draws backlash

Radio Jockey and presenter Malishka Mendonsa and her colleagues are facing huge backlash on social media for allegedly making the Olympic gold medalist Neeraj Chopra uncomfortable by dancing in front of him during a virtual interview.

RJ Malishka posted a small clip of her interview with Neeraj, and as per the visuals shared on Twitter, she and her colleagues could be seen dancing to ‘Uden Jab Jab Zulfen Teri’ from the 1957 film ‘Naya Daur’, while the 23-year-old athlete watched on, kinda uncomfortably, through the screen.

In the video clip, Neeraj is seen sitting silently and smiling politely, while others are seen dancing.

While sharing the clip, Malishka wrote, “Ladiesssss..Yes I got the hard hitting, deep answers too but..Take the first 4 secs before the cam moves to the zoom call to guess who we are dancing for Smiling face with halo 😉 #udejabjabzulfeinteri and then tell me I did it for all of us smiling face with open mouth and smiling eyes #gold #olympics #neerajchopra @RedFMIndia @RedFM_Mumbai.”

The netizens accused her of making the Olympic medallist “uncomfortable” and slammed Malishka for her unprofessional behaviour.
