Some People Tried To Shoot Me Saying I’m Spoiling Indian Culture: Mallika
Mumbai: Actress Mallika Sherawat said some people tried to “shoot her” saying she is “spoiling” Indian culture.
In a recent interview, Mallika opened up about facing judgments from the people and talked about the reason she chose to take a break and move to LA.
Speaking to Mashable India, Mallika said: “I felt so many judgments on me in India, I just wanted a break from it. They were burning my effigies. Some tried to shoot me, saying that she is spoiling Indian culture. I was feeling so attacked. I was an easy target because I had no support in Bollywood. Nobody would mess like that with a superstar’s daughter or son. Mahesh Bhatt once told me, ‘You keep on falling and crying, so some people in Bollywood enjoy that’ and this is what I experienced.”
Moreover, she said that she thought she had a lot of money and gained popularity in Bollywood as well, so she wanted to experience a different culture.
“I packed my bags and I went to L.A. and Jackie Chan said, ‘Don’t worry, you just move to L.A. and you’ll get the red carpet treatment,’ and I did. He organised everything for me, and I met some fantastic people there,” Mallika Sherawat said.
Mallika further added that she has had such an experience in the industry, and if anyone else has a different experience, she would not like to comment on others’ experiences.
“If you’re not from the Bollywood camp, if you don’t have a famous boyfriend in Bollywood, or if you do not have a godfather, then your chances are greatly reduced. I don’t want to focus on negativity and fight it,” she added.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Mallika will star next in RK/RKay, co-starring Rajat Kapoor, Kubbra Sait, and Ranvir Shorey.
