Believe it or not! Making a way in Bollywood is not easy for anyone, especially for an outsider. And if you are an actress, you have to go through tough phases and compromises to survive in the entertainment industry.
We are talking about Mallika Sherawat, who once ruled Bollywood with her hotness in films like Khwahish and Murder. The actress often remained in the headlines for her personal and professional life. She has always been vocal about her career choices and the difficulties she faced on and off screen.
For the unversed, Mallika Sherawat was born Reema Lamba and she changed her name after entering Bollywood. She ran away from home to become an actress and she took her mother’s surname Sherawat as she supported her career.
She tied the knot with Karan Singh Gill in 1997, however, they parted ways after a year. Talking about facing Bully in the industry, she told Bollywood Bubble, “A certain section of the media was very… They bullied me and harassed me. And that really bothered me, because… And most of them were women. Men have never had problems with me. Men have always appreciated me. And I couldn’t understand why these women are so against me, and so nasty to me. And that made me leave the country for a while because I wanted a break. But today they are more accepting of me, and they are more loving, which I’m really enjoying.”
She also told PTI, “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 tend to take liberties with you. This happened with me too.
“I was thrown out of projects because heroes would say ‘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?’ I’ve lost so many projects. It’s very reflective of the society, what women deal with in our country.”
