The incident sparked a debate among netizens, with many finding Mallika’s response to be unnecessary and overblown.
Mallika, the daughter of the late journalist Vinod Dua, has built a strong reputation in the entertainment industry for her comedic talent. However, this time she was not in her usual lighthearted mood. She took to Instagram to criticize Shivesh for incorporating her popular phrases like “Skyaaauz me” (excuse me) and “very kyaaut” (cute) in a video where he tested viral air fryer recipes. Despite Shivesh’s positive intent, Mallika was visibly upset.
In a series of Instagram stories, Mallika Dua called out Shivesh for not giving her credit and expressed her frustration over the use of her phrases, which she considered a product of her creative efforts.
She even sent a personal message to Shivesh, who responded kindly, but Mallika remained adamant about her stance.
The situation escalated when Mallika continued to post more stories, further criticizing Shivesh for trying to act cute in response. Despite Shivesh’s attempts to praise her and acknowledge her as the original creator, Mallika insisted on receiving credit, which led to mixed reactions from the online community.
Screenshots of Mallika’s Instagram stories were shared on Reddit, where users discussed her behavior. One user commented, “A four-story rant is crazy,” while another added, “I feel bad for Shivesh; he literally appreciated her.” Another user criticized Mallika, saying, “This is clown behavior. If she genuinely wanted credit, she could have asked privately or more politely. Shivesh seemed genuine and kind in his words, but she posted screenshots like a wannabe influencer trying to pick a fight.”
