The reconciliation took place at the wedding reception of filmmaker Anand Pandit's daughter in Mumbai, where both Emraan and Mallika were in attendance. Their unexpected embrace brought cheers from onlookers and set social media abuzz with excitement.

The rift between the two actors had its roots around the time of their 2004 film Murder. Reports of tension surfaced during the movie's promotions, and Emraan Hashmi even made candid remarks about Mallika during an appearance on Koffee With Karan. His comments, including calling Mallika a "bad kisser." 

In 2021, Mallika addressed her fight with Emraan publically for the first time and called her juvenile. "We didn’t speak and now I think it was so childish. It was after the film I think during promotions or something we had a misunderstanding. It was so uncalled for and so childish on my part also," she had said.
