A viral video on Reddit shows Mallika Sherawat speaking to a media outlet, "Some heroes would call me and say âcome and see me at night'. Aur main phone pe kehti thi, âWhy should I come and see you at night? For what?' They would say, âAree tum itne bold roles kar leti ho screen pe, toh mere ko raat ko milne mein kya problem hai?' The heroes were taking this kind of liberties with me. They were thinking ke jab yeh parde pe itne bold scenes karti hai, toh humare saath bhi bold ho sakti hai, humare saath bhi toh compromise kar sakti hai. I am not like that.'"
Mallika added, "I was shooting for a very big film in Dubai with a big star cast. It's a superhit film, people have loved it. I did a comedy role. The film's hero would knock on my door at midnight. I thought he'd break my door. Because he wanted to come inside my bedroom. And I was like 'No, it's not going to happen'. The hero never worked with me again after that."
Mallika stepped into cinema in 2002 with the film âJeena Sirf Merre Liye', where she was credited as Reema Lamba. Her journey to stardom began in 2000 when she got the title of a sex symbol courtesy of her performance in the Emraan Hashmi-starrer âMurder', a 2004 romantic thriller.
The actress was then seen in the West with movies such as âHisss' and âPolitics of Love'. Her credits also include movies including âKhwahish', âBachke Rehna Re Baba', âPyaar Ke Side Effects', âAap Ka Suroor - The Real Love Story', âWelcome' and âKis Kis Ki Kismat' among many others.
