Mallika had taken the country by storm with her latest movie "Khawhsih". Before her forray into movies, she had done some modelling assignments initially, the advertisment of Santro with Shah Rukh Khan being one.

"Jeena Sirf Merre Liye" was where we saw her in a very brief role. Talking future wise, Mallika stresses on her wish to do "only honest cinema", which would range from roles like that of Nargis in "Mother India" to Tabu's in "Chandni Bar". Well, after her character portrayal in "Khahwish", its going to be a little difficult to visualize her struggling in a tattered state of affairs,but then this is the world of make-belive, where we wait doggedly to see our favourite stars dazzle or die...week after week.. And we hope Mallika no matter what your 'Khwahish' be, it sees the light of the day anyway.
