Mallika Sherawat (Hindi: मल्लिका शेरावत, IPA: [məllika], ITRANS: mallika) (born October 24, 1981, as Reema Lamba in Rohtak, Haryana, India) is an Indian actress and model . She has a degree in philosophy from Miranda House, Delhi University.
Sherawat's birth name is Reema Lamba; she says that adopted the screen name of "Mallika", meaning "queen", to avoid confusion with other actresses named Reema. "Sherawat" is her mother's maiden name. [citation needed]
Personal life
Initially an air-hostess with Indian National Carrier AIR INDIA, she married and divorced Karan Singh Gill, a pilot. [citation needed]
Career
She made her first onscreen appearance in a music video. [citation needed] She first attracted wide notice with her appearance in the 2003 movie Khwahish, which was, by Indian standards, quite racy. Ms. Sherawat appeared in a number of revealing costumes. Later that year, she starred in Murder, a film inspired by Hollywood's "Unfaithful" that again challenged Indian film standards. She received a 'Best Actress' nomination at the Zee Cine Awards for her performance in "Murder".
She also made news when she won a small role in a Jackie Chan movie, The Myth, where she again appeared in "sexy" costumes. She made a widely publicized appearance at the Cannes Film Festival to promote The Myth.
In July 2004, the Bollywood film producers' union IMPAA temporarily blacklisted Mallika. Filmmaker Ramesh Sharma complained that she broken her contract with him when she failed to turn up, as promised, for the filming of Kab Kyun Kahan (started in 1999). [1]
