How pagli is Mallika Sherawat off-screen?
Mallika is not pagli at all. She is quite intelligent, very focused, a thorough professional and a complete star. In real life, she is not the quirky character she plays onscreen.
Tell us about the funny incident in Goa.
There is a scene in the film where I am supposed to be riding a scooter like a wimp with her sitting behind me. She suddenly comes in front and zooms off. In the middle of the shot she is shouting hysterically for help because she does not know to stop the bike. To add to it, there was a cow on the street who started chasing us. It was very funny.
How is Mallika in real life?
Mallika and I get along very well. She is in a business where it's very difficult to have an identity of your own unless you are related to someone. She didn't have a godfather or an illustrious Bollywood surname to boast of. Moreover, being a woman is tough here. Survival is very challenging in this industry. And under such circumstances, she has succeeded and is living life on her own terms. I think it definitely deserves respect.
