Mallika Sherawat

“I have a flexible body.”

“For actresses, OTT has come as a boon. Look at Shefali Shah. She is headling a show. In main stream, that is not possible.”

“I worked in 'Dashavataram,' 'Pyaar Ke Side Effects' and 'Welcome' but none talked about my acting.”

“There were so many accusations and judgements on me. If you wear short skirts, kiss on screen then you're a fallen woman with no morals.”

“Men have never had problems with me. Men have always appreciated me.”

“I don't like social media. I hate it.”

“Digital space is revolutionalising Indian cinema.”

“After having worked in Bollywood for 5-7 years, I thought the time was right to explore other horizons and different cultures.”

“Every character for me is the same. I give equal importance to every character I do, that's what's more important, whether this character has so many kisses or that many steamy scenes is not important.”

“I was the first Indian actor to do a film with Jackie Chan.”

“In India I am criticised for the kind of clothes I wear but abroad I am not.”

“When I got 'Myth,' I decided to do all the action for the film but that was the worst decision of my life.”

“Yes, in the beginning of my career, I was working and I was really busy but one evolves and one grows, and now, I am in a very comfortable place in my life. Love plays a huge part.”

“As a society, we need to ask ourselves that if we don't use our celebrity status to speak up for those not empowered enough, who will? If I do that, I get branded as someone who talks too much, is a motor-mouth and is trying to bring a bad name to the country.”

“My fashion choices have been bold because that is my mindset.”

“I like to travel and chill.”

“I have always been honest and forthright about my feelings, maybe that's why I attract attention.”

“Education goes a long way in changing things. Yes, it takes time, but it gradually shows.”

“If the script is good, then I will do it.”

“Once I was shooting a song for a film. And the producer seemed to be a novice. So he was trying to figure out a way to portray 'Mallika is very hot.' So, he sent an idea through the choreographer - 'Can I fry an egg on your belly in the song?' It's true! The producer's actually asked me this.”
