In what was supposed to be the gathering of affable suitors on the sets of the dating reality show, the contestants entered into a verbal spat over difference of opinion on the actress.
During the brawl, one of the contestants cast aspersions on Mallika reducing her to tears, even as celebrity guest Mahesh Bhatt was watching on, sources said.
Mallika left the shoot immediately, sources said, adding that she was very upset and refused to shoot for the show.

'The Bachelorette India -Mere Khayalon Ki Mallika' is a spin-off from the American competitive reality dating game show.
The series revolves around a bachelorette and a pool of romantic interests, trying to impress her.
