While all of this was awesome and we loved how he connected with his fans and other people, one particular segment in the show left a sour taste in our mouths. Since the show invites contestants from three generations--children, youth and adults, one of the contestants was 42-year-old Meenal Dhapre, a huge (no pun intended) fan of Madhuri Dixit and Salman Khan. Before her performance, she requested a hug from Madhuri Dixit and she obliged.
Excited, she came running from the stage in Madhuri's direction. At this point Salman Khan said--"araam araam se kahin stage na toot jaaye," meaning it to be a fun comment. The overwhelmed fan couldn't stop interacting with Madhuri, and at this point Salman asked if the two knew each other from before. Meenal said that she's from a 'chhota shahar' and Salman remarked how she could fit in there, and gave her a hug. In all the excitement, she however fell from the stage, and when she finally returned for her performance on Mera Piya Ghar Aaya, Salman kept standing near the stage saying "main wahan isliye khada tha ki aap kahin fir se tappa khakar gir gayi to."
