Bollywood never knew where to place me, says Mallika

TIL Desk Bollywood/ Actress Mallika Sherawat will soon be seen in a digital show titled “Booo.. Sabki Phategi”, a horror-comedy. She says in her initial days in the film industry, filmmakers were interested in exploring her “bold” image rather than acting skills and never found her a good fit as a “Bollywood heroine”.

The actress, who got famous for her bold scenes in the 2004 film “Murder”, has been living with the tag of a “bold” heroine. The image of women in the entertainment industry is changing. Sharing her opinion on it, Mallika told: “It is such a progressive step towards a positive direction…now I feel that the film industry is much inclusive for women rather than the earlier days when I started out.

These days filmmakers are thinking of writing multi-dimensional roles for women in cinema.” “When I came into the film industry, filmmakers did not know what to do with me, what kind of role I should be offered because I am a strong, opinionated actress with no inhibitions of ‘kissing on screen’. I am always comfortable in my skin,” she added.
