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.

Career

Mallika seen here in The Myth's posterShe made her first onscreen appearance in a music video. 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" as it went on to become the biggest hit of the year .

Since then, Sherawat has been known as the Controversy Queen of Bollywood as she continues to make headlines through her outfits and blunt statements.

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.

Since her debut, Mallika was often accused of simply being a sexy woman without talent. However, in 2006 her Pyaar Ke Side Effects co-starring Rahul Bose won her praise from around the industry and the film also garnered decent collections.

She is now starring with the two gems of Tamil film industry, Rajinikanth & Kamal Haasan in Sivaji: The Boss & Dasavatharam respectively.
