Mallika Sherwat Quotes
"I've slogged like crazy to get
where I am. And those who think it's just my body that got me
where I am, they should take a look at the others who have
rushed in after me. They haven't gone beyond their first
feverish film".
"I have always looked up to Bipasha and she has certainly
opened a lot of doors for many actresses like us. But I don't
want to compete against anyone. I think I am one of a kind".
"I have always wanted to be an actress. In spite of strong
opposition from my orthodox family, I came to Mumbai in 2002
on completion of my graduation from Delhi University. In fact,
I ran off from home to pursue my career. I knew my parents
would never let me be an actress, so I had to take the bold
step. However, I have a strong support from my kid brother
Vikram, whom I love more than anything else in this world."
"I would like to say I handle criticism well. In fact I enjoy
reading the comments of the critics. It's great to have
critics blasting you all the time. It keeps you on your toes,
spurs you, challenges you, makes you want to get better. I
take everything positively. There's so much to learn and do."

"I am like Viagra to Indian men!"
On her film, The Myth (2005): I may not be here to titillate,
but I am not sorry if I have that edge. People aren't coming
to the theaters to see me in a burqa". (Movie Mag
International, September 2004)
"I had a song with Tusshar Kapoor in _Jeena Sirf Merre
Liye_(2002) and they cut it. I'm so happy nobody went to the
theaters to watch the film. The only people who must have
watched the film were Tusshar's family, my family and
Kareena's".(Stardust, March 2003)
"Men talk to my boobs!"
"I graduated from Delhi, and came down to Bombay to try my
hand at films. I always wanted to be an actress. I'd ape all
the actresses before the mirror even when it was forbidden in
my community. Wide-eyed as I may sound, it's a dream come
true, yaar! I remember when I disclosed my career option to my
folks, all hell broke loose. My father is a zamindar back
home. So you can imagine all the fuss. And my mom, she still
wears a ghunghat." (Stardust, March 2003)
"Having the same man every night is boring ... Girls in India
are brainwashed to believe that marriage is their only
destination."
