“Hum glamour bechte hai! Yes, that’s true. People have a notion that actresses have a glamorous life, but reality is far from this fantasy thought. I would say that glamour is restricted to just red carpets and magazine covers. Dekha jaaye toh hum majduri hi kar rahe hai…”

Meet Mallika Sherawat: the queen who proved that she is more than just a pretty face; a powerhouse who defined her own narrative. From delivering bold performances to being unapologetic in her style, Mallika is a force to be reckoned with. ‘Indian culture wasn’t ready for me back then,’ that’s what she says with a smirk on her face when asked about being judged for her roles. And maybe her confidence is what keeps her relevant still.

In this episode, Mallika Sherawat opened up like never before —calling out patriarchy, condemning the toxic beauty standards set by the people and giving it back to people who thought that she is no longer relevant. This episode was unfiltered, honest and full of opinions much needed to be told and heard. Join us in the most candid conversation ever with Mallika Sherawat.
