Mallika Sherawat says 'what Deepika Padukone did in 'Gehraaiyaan', I did same 15 years ago'

Malika Sherawat is all set to make a comeback with Rajat Kapoor's 'RK/RKAY'. In a recent interview with Prabhat Khabar, the actor talked about her performance in all-time hit movie ‘Murder.’

In her statement, she criticised the industry and mentioned that a section of the industry always talked about her body and glamour, never her acting. She also compared her 2004 film 'Murder' with Deepika Padukone's recent outing, ‘Gehraaiyaan’.
When asked about the changes that the new age brought to the film industry, she mentioned, ‘Earlier, the heroines were either too good, 'sati-savitri' types or they were the characterless vamps. These were the only two types of roles written for heroines. The change that we see now, shows women as humans. She can be happy or sad.’

‘People said all kinds of things about the kiss and the bikini. What Deepika Padukone did in ‘Gehraaiyaan’, I did that 15 years ago, but people were too narrow-minded back then. I should tell you that a section of the industry and media was mentally torturing me,' she added.

On the work front, Mallika will share screen space with Kubbra Sait, and Ranvir Shorey in 'RK/RKAY'. The film is all set to release on July 22.
