Exclusive Interview
Mallika Sherawat is nervous, very nervous
After hibernating like some Arctic Amazon for a year-and-a-half, Venus is rising out of a self-imposed media exile. While she’s been yawning, the junta’s been yearning - for a ‘fix’ of Mallika’s quotable quotes and leggy doublespreads. On the occasion of her forthcoming film‘Pyaar Ke Side Effects’ that the Monroe-esque beauty decided to talk. It was ‘classique’ Mallika all over again - just more vintage.
It’s been a while. But ask me why I’ve been off media?
"I’d love to say this on record, ‘every actor is expected to butter up columnists and journos, say nice things to them, put on a happy face, give bytes about your life - you’re expected to play along with this template that would help you sell tickets, help the movie. I did just that. When I joined the industry I was very honest and forthright to all reporters. But then what happened? They started putting words in my mouth, started focusing on controversy; so I completely stopped doing that. I grew sick and tired of these irrelevant questions that had nothing to do with my profession, my acting. To top it, my answers were distorted all the time. That’s when I decided ‘halt’! I went off Press.” Read More

Mallika Sherawat is such a girl who never thinks before saying, "I am sexy..., I love the elder people..., I give preference to the people of higher age." Here there is no limit to boldness. But because of her unique boldness this girl has reached at the top of commercial ratings exceeding those of an actress like the sexy bomb Bipasha Basu. There is no doubt that now Neha Dhupia is competing with her after giving bold shots in her film titled 'Julie', but Sherawat is now in the frontline of media after signing the English film 'The Myth' with Jackie Chan.
It is a big achievement for any Indian actress to act in a Hollywood film. In this film she plays the role of an Indian princess whom Jackie loves. She says she can recall now how Jackie Chan was taking care of her personally while shooting was going on in Shanghai. Sexy Mallika says Chinese people are hot. In a recent encounter she said that she liked elder people more than the younger ones--- what a bold statement! While answering questions, Mallika said that she was concentrating now on maintaining her image of a sexy girl and that she wanted to look sexy every inch
