During the interview, Mallika Sherawat was asked if she was afraid of doing bold scenes back in the day, to which she said, “No I wasn’t afraid.

I told him he could mold me however he liked and he really took great care of me.” After this, she was asked if after doing such scenes, anyone questioned her or asked her to do something. Mallika Sherawat said, “I will tell you this funny incident, I was doing a song in South and the director came and told me ‘Madam want to show how hot you are, in this scene, the hero will make rotis on your waist.’ Can you imagine? These were the scenes back then.”
