Meet actress who was known for her bold attitude, had a failed marriage, faced casting couch, heroes asked her to…, she is now…
In the glitzy and glamorous industry of showbiz, where people are obsessed with vanity, people do judge the book by its cover. Superficial appearance, boldness often grab the eyeballs of the audience and raise some celebrities to fame. One such star grabbed headlines not just for her films but also for her bold on-screen performance. Hailed as one of the hottest actresses of Bollywood, she has an unapologetic attitude and outspoken nature, which sometimes also landed her in many controversies.
The person we are talking about is none other than Mallika Sherawat. She made her debut in the film industry with the film Jeena Sirf Merre Liye in the year 2002. However, the movie that rose her to fame was the film Khwahish and Murder . Soon her fearless performance made her a fan favourite, and she became a household name. Coming from a small village of Moth in Hisar, Mallika was born as Reema Lamba. Belonging to a conservative family, who weren't happy with Sherwat decision of coming to Bollywood, she proved them wrong them wrong and came a long way in her career as she even made her mark globally when she appeared alongside Jackie Chan in the film Myth (2005) and then in the Hollywood film Hiss in the year 2010.
Besides getting the much needed attention in Bollywood, Maliaka's life hasn't been smooth sailing. In an interview, she openly revealed about facing harassment, casting couch, and being typecast. 'There were so many accusations and judgments on me. If you wear short skirts, kiss on screen, then you're a fallen woman with no morals. Men tend to take liberties with you. This happened with me too,' she shared, opening up about how male co-stars would try to take her liberty, misbehave with her, 'Why can't you be intimate with me? You can do it on screen, what's the problem in doing that with me in private?.' When she refused to give in to their demands, she was sidelined from the industry.
Despite facing such challenges, Mallika hasn't shied away from holding her ground and speaking her truth. Being away from the limelight for years, she tried to make her comeback with Raaj Shaandilyaa's Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video, alongside Rajkummar Rao and Triptii Dimri, which was released on October 11, 2024.
Speaking of her personal life, Sherawat married in 1997 in a hush-hush to a Delhi-based pilot, Karan Sing. She kept her marriage a secret to not hamper her Bollywood career. However, the wedding only lasted for a year. The Murder actress now lives a luxurious life in LA.
Her tale speaks about courage, boldness, and determination and also shows that for setback, there is a bigger and larger comeback.

A part of News18's review of the film read, 'The initial build-up features well-crafted dialogues, humour, and convincing performances by Rao and Gabbi (who plays Titli).

Bhool Chuk Maaf box office collection day 4: Rajkummar Rao film earns its lowest so far, collects ₹4 cr on 1st Monday
Bhool Chuk Maaf box office collection day 2: The Rajkummar Rao and Wamiqa Gabbi-starrer witnessed its lowest earnings on the first Monday of its release. As per Bhool Chuk Maaf has earned ₹4.75 crore on Monday. Directed by Karan Sharma, the time loop comedy released in theatres on Friday. (Also Read | Bhool Chuk Maaf review: A tiring comedy where time loops, laughs lag and Rajkummar Rao hits refresh again) The film earned ₹7 crore on day one, ₹9.5 crore on day two, and ₹11.5 crore on day three. The film has collected ₹4.75 crore nett in India as per early estimates. So far, it has earned ₹32.74 crore. Bhool Chuk Maaf had an overall 14.16% Hindi occupancy on Monday. Bhool Chuk Maaf has been performing better than Rajkummar's last film, Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video. It had earned ₹2.4 crore on day four of its release as per However, it lagged much behind Rajkummar's blockbuster Stree 2, which minted ₹55.9 crore on day four, according to Both films released in theatres in 2024. The Hindustan Times review of the film read, "Rajkummar needs to snap out of his small town fascination, and fast. Wamiqa is a relatively fresh face, and grasps the 'papa ki pari' hook well. Sanjay Mishra and Raghubeer Yadav fare well. Tanishk Baghchi's music is okay when viewed in context on screen, but doesn't stand out. Overall, Bhool Chuk Maaf, a time-loop comedy, ends up stuck in a loop of its own clichés. The only thing harder to escape than a time loop is Rajkummar's contract with small-town scripts. It tries to be a comedy, flirts with a social message, and ends up being the cinematic equivalent of a WhatsApp forward — familiar, repetitive, and mildly amusing at best." The film also stars Seema Pahwa, Sanjay Mishra and Ishtiyak Khan. It is produced by Dinesh Vijan under his banner Maddock Films. Bhool Chuk Maaf revolves around a soon-to-be-married man who realises that he is stuck in a time loop and keeps reliving the day before his wedding.
