She is indeed made it to the elite circles of Bollywood! Though Mallika Sherawat started of to do the usual but nevertheless consequential roles for publicity, she took the fame forward with remarkable and bankable work nationally and also internationally. Mallika Sherawat has long made it internationally like all the A-list stars in Bollywood. What more, she has also walked the red carpet with the legendary Jackie Chan at Cannes. The lady is now ready to be termed one of the 100 most beautiful women in the world. One of Hong Kong’s premiere luxury fashion magazine asks her for the cover page.

Editor Ellie O’Ready says, “We feel that Mallika is truly one of the 100 most beautiful people in Asia and our list just wouldn’t be complete without her.” So be ready to see our very own Mallika on the prestigious magazine’s cover in a month or two.
Mallika Sherawat – the sensational and the steaming Sherawat is all set to surprise Bollywood by being the highest paid actress for Cameos. Eyes popped out is it? Well, the faster you digest the fact that she is not just hear to stay but also to rule, the better it will be for your senses. Mallika Sherawat is being paid 1.5 crore for her cameo role in Himesh Reshammiya’s “Aap Ka Suroor”, which means she is paid 15 lakhs per minute. Oooph…that is really huge! This makes her the highest paid actress in the history of Bollywood. Now, does Rani, Kajol, Ash or any one wants to comment on that. Rakhi Sawant has sure chosen the right inspiration. Revise your price tags ladies
Anil Kapoor is totally impressed by Mallika Sherawat, after working with her in “Darna Zaroori Hai”. It looks like he’s quite smitten by her and he has gone one step ahead and signed a movie with her. The movie will be directed by Anees Bazmi and is titled “Welcome”. It also stars Akshay Kumar, Nana Patekar and Katrina Kaif in leading roles.
Don’t know what it is about Mallika that makes guys drool over her. Anil Kapoor is no exception. Here’s one guy who doesn’t believe in hiding his feelings. No pun intended !!!
The actress will be seen wearing a tangy orange bikini top and a golden beige printed sarong while coming out of a swimming pool in the movie.
Mallika is playing Sanjay Dutt’s wife Kamini in Indra Kumar’s comedy, which is a sequel to 2007 film “Dhamaal”. Arshad Warsi, Riteish Deshmukh, Ashish Chowdhry, Jaaved Jaaferi and Kangana Ranaut are in the lead roles.
Film: “Double Dhamaal”
Starring: Sanjay Dutt, Arshad Warsi ,Riteish Deshmukh, Javed Jaffrey, Mallika Sherawat, Kangna Ranaut
Directer: Indra Kumar
Rating: 3 stars
Some things never change. Like Indra Kumar’s style of storytelling. From “Dil” in 1990 to “Double Dhamaal” now, the fun never stops…that is , if fun is what you derive out of overgrown boys played by actors ranging from 20 to 50 who repeatedly get hit in their testicles.
Ouch!Balls are walls that the script scales to achieve a lowbrow calibre of hectic humour.
This slapstick comedy never escapes the ouch pouch. Cocooned in a juvenile comic mood that takes the characters through a maze of hazily-written humour, the narration leaves no pause for any emotion, not even exasperation that bubbles up in you as you watch the antics of the four semi-retarded protagonists, played at various octaves of lunacy by the talented trio of Riteish Deshmukh, Arshad Warsi and Javed Jaffrey, plus there’s Ashish Chowdhary, looking a little lost in the maze of amazing comic timing. Chowdhary shows up in the second-half in drag masquerading in siliconed splendour as ‘Barbara Gori’ offering ‘her’ soul and, ahem, body to Sanjay Dutt.
Oh, didn’t we tell you? Dutt’s the way we like it. He plays a kind of senior jester in the durbar of drollery. In almost every frame he is flanked by the two beauties Mallika Sherawat and Kangna Ranaut playing his sweetheart and sister, respectively. Feminine comfort swathed in designer ludicrousness.
Significantly the two ladies don’t dress in character. They don’t need to. Attired in the best designer gowns carrying the best bags that money can buy they resemble two models who show up at a beauty pageant in a moneyed little hamlet in Gujarat .
The film spares no expenses to look sleek. The characters are either silhouetted by skyscrapers or their equivalent created indoors by set-designers whose concept of lavishness won’t match with what you’ve probably seen in the pages of Home & Interiors magazine.
There is no attempt to cohere to any acceptable standards of aesthetics here. As a director Indra Kumar has not made the mistake of evolving over the years.Crude food brings forth a belch of satisfaction from the audience.The sleekness that we see in the songs and dances should not take away from the general rumbustiousness that pervades the plot.
Everyone hams it to the hilt. There is no room for subtlety and nuances. And by the time Arshad Warsi, one of the finest comic talents in our cinema, gets down to promising Dutt he won’t ‘blow’ his ‘job’ we know the writers of this flamboyant farce are happily scraping the bottom of the barrel.

Mallika Sherawat (Hindi: मल्लिका शेरावत, born Reema Lamba) is a former Indian model, now working as an actress in mainly Bollywood films. Known for her bold onscreen attitude,[1] Sherawat has been frequently featured in the media as a sex symbol.[2] She is one of the few Bollywood stars trying to crossover to Hollywood,[3][4] with films like Hisss and Politics of Love.[5]
Early life
Sherawat was born Reema Lamba in Rohtak, Haryana to a Jat family.[6] Mallika was born in the family of Seth Chhaju Ram, a leading Jat philanthropist.[7] She was born on October 24, though the year is unknown.[8] She adopted the screen name of "Mallika", meaning "empress", to avoid confusion with other actresses named Reema.[9] "Sherawat" is her mother's maiden name[8] She has stated that she uses her mother's maiden name because of the support that her mother has provided her.[9] Although relations with her family were strained when she entered the film industry,[10] now Sherawat's family have accepted her career choice and reconciled their relations.[7]
Sherawat went to school at Delhi Public School, Mathura Road.[11] She has obtained a degree in philosophy from Miranda House, Delhi University.[12] During the initial days of her career, she claimed to have come from a very conservative small town family, and that she faced many hurdles from her family in pursuing her career.[13] However, Mallika's family has refuted this as a story created by her to give her an aura of a small town rustic girl who made it big in Bollywood.[10] It has been reported that she was married for a short while to a Jet Airways pilot Captain Karan Singh Gill.[10]
Career
Before entering films, Sherawat appeared in television commercials with Amitabh Bachchan for BPL and Shahrukh Khan for Santro.[14] She also appeared in Nirmal Pandey's Maar Dala and Surjit Bindrakhia's Lak Tunoo music video.[15] She debuted in films with a small role in Jeena Sirf Merre Liye where she was credited as Reema Lamba.[16]
Sherawat attracted notice with her appearance in the 2003 film, Khwahish. In 2004, she starred in Murder, a film inspired by Hollywood's Unfaithful. She received a nomination for Best Actress at the Zee Cine Awards for her performance in Murder. The film went on to become one of the biggest hits of the year.[17]
Since then, Sherawat has been known for expressing her opinions in public, as well for the reaction to some of her statements.[18]
In 2005, Sherawat acted in The Myth, a Chinese film, co-starring with Jackie Chan. She played the role of an Indian princess who falls in love and is rescued by Jackie. The Myth was her first International film. Her appearance at the Cannes Film Festival[19] to promote the film grabbed a lot of attention with Time Magazine's Richard Corliss calling her "the next big thing".[20]
Her performance in the 2006 film Pyaar Ke Side Effects, co-starring Rahul Bose, won her praise from around the industry,[21] and the film also did moderately well at the box office.[22]
Her first release in 2007 was Mani Ratnam's Guru, in which she appeared in a special song, "Mayya Mayya". She also played a guest role in Himesh Reshammiya's Aap Ka Suroor - The Real Love Story and reportedly charged Rs. 15 million for a 10-minute appearance.[23] Her last release of 2007 was Welcome, which also did well at the box office receiving blockbuster status.[24]
Her 2008 releases were Ugly Aur Pagli and Maan Gaye Mughal-e-Azam. Both films were unsuccessful at the box office.
Hollywood
In 2009, Sherawat finished shooting a Hollywood film named Hisss co-starring Irrfan Khan and directed by Jennifer Lynch. The film, based on the legend of Nāga, is an independent co-production between the United States and India.[3] Endeavour Independent has bought the distribution rights of Hisss.[25] Sherawat promoted the film with live snakes at the Cannes Film Festival 2010.[26] Hisss was release in all major Indian languages on 22 October 2010.[27]
Sherawat also finished shooting for another Hollywood film. Love, Barack aka "Politics of Love", directed by William Dear.[28] She plays Aretha Gupta, a devoted local Obama volunteer coordinator. The film is a romantic comedy set during Barack Obama's campaign for the US Presidency. First look of Love, Barack was unveiled by Sherawat at Cannes 2010.[29]
Sherawat won the 2008 Renaissance Artist Award at the 16th Annual Diversity Awards held in California.[30] On 14 August 2009, Sherawat received a career recognition Honorary Citizenship of Los Angeles for her career achievements and charitable efforts.[31]

From Sex Goddes To Real Goddess
Mallika Sherawat, who stormed into bollywood with her mind blowing 17 kisses in Khwaish, is to be seen setting screen on fire again with her sexy and steamy scenes. The actress will soon be seen in the movie, “Maan Gaye Mughl-e-azam”, with her co-star, Rahul Bose. The duo seem to have many scenes depicting private moments in the movie. The movie is being directed by Sanjay Chhel. Well, it’s been long since we’ve seen the lady steaming up the screens!!
Mallika Sherawat, who is the undisputed symbol of sex in the bollywood, is now going to play the role of a Hindu Goddess in a hollywood flick. The movie will feature her as Maa Sarasvati (Goddess of art and creativity and education) who plays a faithful and dear friend of Jesus Christ on his trip to India. The lady has also signed another hollywood movie, unveiled which will cast her as a Muslim girl who has three affairs.
With Mallika in such roles, looks like here’s another couple of controversial movies in making??
Now here’s a treat for the fans of the sex symbol of bollywood, Mallika Sherawat. The sex king of Hollywood recently compared the Indian bombshell with the rich n famous Pamela Anderson. With this, he even offered her to bare it all at the Howard Stern TV show. Sources say that Mallika was asked to pose naked in a swimming pool even in her much talked about movie “Murder”, but the bikini beauty thought the scene was too bold and had refused then. But this time the tables might turn and the actress might agree to the offer as it is supposed to involve millions of dollars and huge modeling consignments.
With the movies coming rarely her way, we surely can expect the naked sexy actress soon on the show.
