Mallika Sherawat is a and stunning actress who is way ahead of her time. She was probably one of the earlier actors in Bollywood to be extremely comfortable in doing bold scenes and explosive romance on the big screen. Recently, we saw Mallika talk about the intimate scenes of her film Murder, and also was seen talking about Deepika Padukone’s act in Gehraiyaan. A report on koimoi.com talked about it and we take reference from that story for our write up here.
Talking about changes, Mallika Sherawat said, “Earlier, the heroines were either too good, sati-savitri types who were too innocent to know anything, or they were the characterless vamps. These were the only two types of roles written for heroines. The change that we see now, shows women as humans. She can be happy or sad. She can make mistakes, she can falter, and you love them despite all of that.”
She added, “The heroines are more confident about their bodies as well. Such hue and cry was created when I did Murder. People said all kinds of things about the kiss and the bikini. What Deepika Padukone did in Gehraiyaan, I did that 15 years ago, but people were too narrow-minded back then. I should tell you that a section of the industry and media was mentally torturing me. These people only talked about my body and glamour, not my acting. I worked in Dashavataram, Pyaar Ke Side Effects and Welcome but none talked about my acting.”
Very true, what Mallika states!!
