Mallika Sherawat don’t shy away from making bold statements, shocking confessions and revealing the ugly side of Bollywood in an unabashed and fearless manner. In her new interview, Mallika exposed the film industry while talking about the existence of casting couch and losing out on projects when she refused to compromise.
“All the A-lister heroes refused to work with me, because I wouldn’t compromise. It’s very simple — they like actresses who they can control and who will compromise with them. I am not that, my personality isn’t that. I didn’t want to subject myself to someone’s whims and fancies. Sit, stand, anything. If the hero calls you at 3am and says, ‘Come to my house’, you have to go, if you are in that circle and if you are doing that film. If you don’t go, then you are out of the film,” Mallika told Hindustan Times.
A couple of weeks ago, Mallika, who is gearing up for her upcoming film RK/Rkay, had said that she did all these kinds of intimate and passionate scenes with Emraan Hashmi in their 2004 erotic film Murder, which Deepika Padukone did with Siddhant Chaturvedi in the Shakun Batra directorial Gehraiyaan. But instead of being appreciated like Deepika, she was subjected to mental torture a section of the industry and the media.
Earlier, Mallika had spoken about refusing to shoot for a hot song when a producer came to her with a weird sequence. “In his warped thinking, he was like, ‘Bada hot song hai. Audience ko kaise pata chalega ki aap hot hai? know you are hot? Some weird notion like that. Have you ever heard of anything like that?” she had questioned.
