When Malaika hugged Arjun on National TV

Malaika Arora and Arjun Kapoor, once rumoured to be love birds have been avoiding each other in public.

The relationship allegedly began even when Malaika was married to Arbaaz and that was one reason why Arjun fell out with his mentor Salman Khan who had him thrown out from the house and warned him to stay away from his home. Arbaaz and Malaika separated a while back and are now divorced. Arbaaz is also dating another girl Alexanda Carmelia.

A while back Arjun and Malaika partied under one roof, but no visual came out of that event of them being together.

But then it was fate when Arjun and his co-star from the film Half Girlfriend landed on the sets of Nach Baliye.

One of the judges Sonakshi Sinha was away promoting her film Noor and Arjun came face to face with Malaika who replaced Sonakshi as the judge in that episode.

And there was a cinematic moment or rather a television moment when Arjun and Malaika hugged. They tried to keep it as brief as possible, but the chemistry was palpable.

Nach Baliye became Touch Baliye for that moment!
