A blushing Jad turned to his new beau, who then bluntly responded: "Akanksha should stay away from Jad, okay?"

He gave her a kiss on the cheek to seemingly approve her answer before the subject was swiftly changed.

The identity of Jad's rumoured new partner is unknown, although he did not mention being in a relationship while on the show.

Fans of Bigg Boss OTT 2 weren't impressed by her apparent jab, while others were desperately trying to figure out her identity.

The recent interaction is sure to annoy Akanksha, who is keen to distance herself from the uncomfortable kiss she shared with Jad.

They locked lips inside the Bigg Boss OTT 2 house, but the model later branded the Indian actress a "bad kisser".

She has since been forced to defend her smooching skills in numerous interviews, explaining he had taken the task "too personal."

Akanksha told ETimes: "Jad Hadid took it too personally, he wanted it to be like a proper kiss between two lovers where you have to have that passion, you have to move your lips, your tongue, your this and that.

"I didn't want to do that and that's why I didn't reciprocate the way he wanted me to, and that's why he felt, 'Oh my God, you are a bad kisser.'

"Excuse me! It was not about kissing and neither did I have a director here, who gave me a brief that 'Akanksha, it has to look in a certain manner.'

"It was just a task that I had to finish in 30 seconds, which I did and I won."

The pair then made light of their awkward kiss by canoodling on the red carpet at Palak Purswani's birthday bash.

They only planted a kiss on each other's cheeks, but fans said the interaction was "uncomfortable" to watch.
