Recently in a conversation with Mashable India, Mallika Sherawat opened up about her journey, films, people’s opinions, bold scenes and more. She also revealed that men in India love her while the women hate her for the same thing.
She believes the bold scenes she has done have been a problem for many. But men have always loved her for it. Talking about it in detail, she went on to say, “I think my glamour was overwhelming for them. I am unapologetic about it. I wore a bikini in murder and actresses have worn bikini before me also but I was so nonchalant about it. I was like I have a great body. Do you want me to wear a saree at the beach? No, I will wear a bikini and I celebrated my body because for me that was very liberating for me.”
She also added, “But that was too much to handle for people, especially women. Men have had no problems with me. Men love me in India and I love them back. It’s just some women who are so vicious to me. I don’t know why because I love sisterhood. I love to support money.”

Not only this, but Mallika Sherawat also went on to compare Deepika Padukone’s Gehraiyaan with the 2004 movie Murder starring her opposite Emraan Hashmi.
Mallika said, “Such hue and cry were created when I did Murder. People said all kinds of things about the kiss and the bikini. What Deepika Padukone did in Gehraiyaan, I did that 15 years ago, but people were too narrow-minded back then. I should tell you that a section of the industry and media was mentally torturing me. These people only talked about my body and glamour, not my acting. I worked in Dasavatharam, Pyaar Ke Side Effects and Welcome, but none talked about my acting.”
On the work front, Mallika is currently busy promoting her upcoming movie RK/RKay which is set to release on 22 July. The film directed by Rajat Kapoor also stars Kubbra Sait, Ranvir Shorey, Manu Rishi Chadha, Chandrachoor Rai, Abhijeet Deshpande, Abhishek Sharrma, Grace Girdhar, and Vaishali Malhara in pivotal roles.
