Mallika!

Mallika Sherawat was born on October 24,1981. She has a degree in philosophy from Miranda House , Delhi University. Mallika, who has earned her reputation by shocking the Indian middle class, was the first Indian woman to get an offer to pose nude for Playboy magazine. She refused the offer, citing her morals and upbringing.

Mallika Sherawat Career

Sherawat's birth name is Reema Lamba; she adopted the screen name of "Mallika", meaning "empress", to avoid confusion with other actresses named Reema. "Sherawat" is her mother's maiden name. She uses her mother's name as a tribute to her mother's love and support.

    Mallika became popular for her show of skin and several kisses(around 18) in her movie Khwahish released in 2003 which was, by Indian standards quite scandalous, as it featured seventeen on-screen kisses. Later that year, she starred in Murder again a film with raised questions, since she showed a lot of skin. For Murder, she was nominated in the 'Best Actress' category in the Zee Cine Awards. She has also been in the news for a short appearance in a Jackie Chan film, The Myth. She appeared at the Cannes film festival in a revealing outfit as part of the publicity for the film.

In July 2004, the Bollywood film producers' union IMPAA temporarily blacklisted Mallika. Filmmaker Ramesh Sharma complained that she had committed breach of contract when she failed to turn up, as promised, for the filming of Kab Kyun Kahan (started in 1999).

Mallika Sherawat to shed her sexy image

While the publicity machinery is going berserk promoting Mallika Sherawat’s next film Kiss Kiss Ki Kismat as a sizzling sexually simmering synthesis of the two Jat actors Dharmendra and Mallika Sherawat, the fact is the twosome play father-in-law and daughter-in-law in the film!

Mallika’s co-star in the comedy is a newcomer Siddharth Makkar. There’re no romantic overtures, sizzling or otherwise, between Dharmendra and Mallika.

Mallika Sherawat : The youth icon

World-renowned journalist Riz Khan has dubbed Bollywood's hot belle Mallika Sherawat as a youth icon in an interview for CNN news.

A girl from Rohtak has surprised everyone by her immense and immediate success. If media attention is the barometer of stardom then Mallika Sherawat is by far the biggest star of Bollywood at the moment. The print medium and its visual counterpart are busy lapping up every pearl of wisdom that the Murder mademoiselle utters. She knows how to shock, and…well…the Indian middleclass loves to be shocked.

Mallika Sherawat's Best Smoocher

In a recent interview, Karan Khanna (Akshaye's cousin) said that Mallika Sherawat (with whom he co-starred in the flop 'Bach Ke Rehna Re Baba') told him that he was the best smoocher of all the heroes who had kissed her (on screen). "She said I kiss really well," remarked Karan.
