Mallika Sherawat has been grabbing attention with her unfiltered views and outspoken personality on The Traitors 2. From discussing Rhea Chakraborty's jail term to claiming Tom Cruise had a crush on her, the actress has made several bold statements while also facing flak for her conduct on the reality show. She has now shared a video, calling out trolls.
In her video, Mallika said, "When I entered The Traitors, everyone thought Mallika had come to do a catwalk in the show; she is here for vacation. How will she catch the traitor? Everyone underestimated me, which they have been doing for a long time. Never mind, when I was in The Traitors, I felt like inside the show, your voice is not your strength but is your silence. And silently, I started observing everything. After my observation, I realised this one girl was the traitor, and she turned out to be the traitor. Mallika is bold; she is not stupid."
She wrote in the caption, "I may have been having fun, but I was watching everything."
A few days back, the makers dropped an unseen clip from the show in which Mallika is seen boasting about her Dolce outfit. Shalini, who was talking to Shweta Tiwari, Rida Tharana and Rhea Chakraborty, later took the women aside and claimed Mallika was lying. The clip grabbed attention, with many discussing Mallika's look. In an Instagram video, she addressed the controversy and appeared to take a playful dig.
She said, "We need to address the most important issue on Traitors right now, my green dress. I mean, I didn't even realise that my dress would become such a big topic of discussion. If my dress, my figure, my glamour is causing a little bit of jealousy, I understand. Enjoy!"
Apart from this, before the show started, Mallika was known to be the highest-paid contestant. In an interview with ETimes, she said, "The speculation is right. Why apologise for making money? People who say money is never the reason are lying. I know my worth, and I won't work for a fiddly amount."
