Early life
Mallika Sherawat's birth name is Reema Lamba; she says that she adopted the screen name of "Mallika", meaning "empress", to avoid confusion with other actresses named Reema. "Sherawat" is her mother's maiden name. She is from a Jat family.3 She has stated that she uses her mother's maiden name because of all the support her mother has provided for her. She went to school at Delhi Public School, Mathura Road. She has obtained a degree in Indian philosophy from Miranda House, Delhi University.
She began her career as a part time air-hostess and was married to Jet Airways pilot Captain Karan Singh Gill . She had to divorce him to pursue her Bollywood dreams.
Career
Sherawat's screen debut was in Lak Tunoo, a music video by Surjit Bindrakhia. She attracted wide notice with her appearance in the 2003 movie 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.4
Since then, Sherawat has been known for expressing her opinions in public, as well for the reaction to some of her statements.5
She also made news when she acted in a Jackie Chan movie, The Myth and she made a widely publicized appearance at the Cannes Film Festival to promote the film.
However, her performance in the 2006 film Pyaar Ke Side Effects co-starring Rahul Bose won her praise from around the industry,6 and the film also did moderately well at the box office.7
Her first 2007 release was Himesh Reshammiya's Aap Ka Suroor - The Real Love Story, where she played a "vampish role".8 Sherawat herself has protested, saying that it is a negative role but not a vamp role.8 With Aap Ka Suroor she has become the most expensive "Item Girl",9 as she charged Rs. 1.5 crore9 for her "item number" in the movie. Aap Ka Suroor did well at the box office. Her last release of 2007 was Welcome which also did well at the box office receiving blockbuster status.10
She played a small role in Dasavathaaram. Her 2008 releases are Ugly aur Pagli and Mann gaye Mughal e Azam. Although Mallika got praises for her acting, both films were not successful at the box office.
She is now doing a Hollywood film named Hisss starring Irrfan Khan directed by Jennifer Lynch.The film is in Post-production stage. Mallika is now staying in Los Angeles. She is on a working visa recommended by Jackie Chan.
