Would Rather Be ‘Spicy’ Than Someone Who’s ‘Pheeki’: Malaika On ‘Sexy’ Tag

Mumbai: Bollywood diva Malaika Arora recently talked about maintaining the tag of being ‘sexy’ even after all these years since her debut in showbiz

In a recent episode of Woman Up S3 with Pinkvilla Malaika Arora said, “My God, I really held on to that tag!.”

“It’s like, when you bestow somebody a title or crown…you hang on to it forever…So, I guess, I’ve just hung on to this tag,” she added.

She went on saying, “So, I’ve always said it, I’ve said it back then, I say it now. It sounds repetitive, but I’ve always said that I’d rather be known as sexy and spicy and all of that, than being known as pheeki (plain) and Thandi (bland). I like that and I’ve always been known like that. I’m a very feisty person by nature, so honestly, it’s not a conscious thing. Because I’ve been termed as, you know, ‘oh she’s sexy’ that I’ve to live up to that standard. I do not believe in that. I just feel it’s part and parcel of the person that I am.”

The diva further added that she’s not at her best all the time.

“I mean there are days where I can be just the opposite of being supposedly sexy. 30 days in a month, you don’t particularly feel amazing. In fact, I say 15 days of the month, I’m at my peak and the other 15 days of the month, I’m struggling because all women are going through some hormonal (change) so those 15 days I’m really struggling. Otherwise, I’m good to go,” said the diva.

Malaika is often seen as a judge on reality shows. She was last seen in the reality show India’s Best Dancer Season 2.
