wow.. It makes her brave because she exposes herself and uses sex appeal to get roles and earn fame? Also, men can't not "gawk at her in pleasure" because they're men! She's unique? How? By exposing herself? It is people like her who are making our Indian culture and traditions go down the drains it makes me sick. they make me sick by trying to be soo modernized and americanized. Because of her primarily, more movies are coming out with vulgar scenes. Well, I could go on all day long.. but you see.. I'd rather waste my time somewhere other than arguing about some person who I loathe.
That's my opinion, so sue me. -

Wow.
Sorry for my ignorance, but what exactly did this woman do to deserve such hatred? If I got you correctly, she must have got naked in a movie or something so what? What's the big deal? You've never seen a woman naked before? Or maybe the sight of a naked woman disgusted you? Hey, that's fair enough - not everybody should like naked ladies. It's your choice.
What I do not understand, however, is you blaming her for the so-called decline of the Indian culture. I don't get why you're so angry at her to have done what she have done (is she your sister? A family friend? A ex? What?!), but what I REALLY DON'T GET is why you're piss at her for something she obviously have little to do with. News-flash: he's an actress. She have only done what the director told her to do. So why aren't you angry at him, at the writer(s) and/or at the producers, the actual reasons why she did what she did. And, yeah, she couldn't have refuse to do so, but then someone would have get the job, and you all would have then be piss off at her and still not at the real people who are responsible for all your anger. And, please, don't tell me that no one else but Mallika would have played that part - India is a nation of over a billion citizens; if you don't believe that at least a couple of millions of your women would have gladly do what she have done, to gain fame and fortune, well, folks, you're the biggest buch of FOOLS I ever met in my life!
People like you three, sokkertenngrl-1, brickunderground and dragonflames1027, always crap me up. You have such a high esteem of your culture, which is really great, by the way, but it also seem to blind you from all the sidious sides of it, for some reasons. Blaming America for the arrival of such starlets as Mallika Sherawat is unbelievably idiotic, unless Americans actually invest money into her pictures, which they haven't, so far. Indian culture is changing because the Indians want it to change, it's that simply. There's probably always be loyalists like yourselves, who will bitch about those changes and keep on talking about the good-ol' conservative days, days, by the way, that never really existed (your people have been around for milleniums, friends; if you actually think that what's happening in Bollywood is the most vulgar thing that have ever happen to your culture, you're all true IDIOTS!)But, like it or not, you're obviously on the side of the minority, on this one, since she obviously became a much-love star in your country, so something tells me that you'll have to bite the bullet and just accept that the times, they are changing. Man, all this nonsenses coming from the good folks that gave Kama Sutra to the world That's ridiculous!
Lord, I have just spend 5 minutes of my life defendind a woman that I didn't even know about just a couple of hours ago That must be a testament to all of your blazing naivety, you guys good for you! : D -

First of all, it IS a big deal for a woman to get naked in a Bollywood movie. We are just not adjusted to it and although some changes are for the better.. I don't see how this one is. Kissing and sex scenes are just not part of our everyday lives.. sure people do it. But 2000not in public.. thats the difference between our culture compared to the rest of the worlds. Ok, and if posing nude and being naked is nothing bad.. then how come you don't see people walking aroung on the streets naked? Why do people feel embaressed when they see a naked person on the streets? If it's no big deal.. than how come EVERY single Indian paper has been writing articles on this topic? How come this "new exposity" has been the topic of many indian familes all over the world?
"What I do not understand, however, is you blaming her for the so-called decline of the Indian culture. I don't get why you're so angry at her to have done what she have done (is she your sister?

If the director told her to do it, didn't mean she had to agree to it. And what's more is that she was WILLING to do all these actions of vulgarity. Though she is nothing of mine, she is ruining the once innocent India.. just watch. Next thing we see is children on the streets mimicking the actions of what they see on cinema nowadays. I also dislike the fact that she "sells herself out." She obviously had to start doing sex scenes because she sucked at acting. Her promiscuous behavior in "Murder" and "Kis Kis Ki Kismat" and "Kwashish" was sick and disgusting. She is enfilthening Bollywood. Mallika Sherawat is better suited for porn films in Hollywood - for now she is trashing Bollywood. I read a recent article stating that Mallika's Bollywood collegues were appalled at her body. They said, "What was the need for her to wear, or not wear, clothes that left nothing, and everything, to the imagination? The hot-bod image may have men panting for her back home. But over there in Cannes Mallika represented India and Indian cinema. The foreigners are hardly going to be bowled over by a woman's sharp cleavage content."
As for blaming America, we are not blaming America! Actually, I am blaming our own Indian race because they tend to get so influenced by foreigners. If you go to a college in India, every person tries to copy americans.. and ofcourse its not americas fault. They have their own country.. their own culture.
Well anyways, call me conservative. Call me a hypocrite, call me an old-minded woman, but is this going to lead us anywhere in the name of liberalization? What is this woman liberating? Her body, the sexual fantasies of people? If this is liberalization, do we really want liberalization? Some people may call Mallika "hot" and "sexy", but those same people may not respect her as a woman.

omg MightyMad
couldnt agree with you more
i mean comen u guys are SO old fashioned
and there are enough other actresses who do this stuff
and just because she's indian its not right?
although i dont agree with the brave thing either
but i dont think u guys should hate just because of that
and i dont think she went nude
and the kissing onscreen ,almost everyone does it lately in bollywood.
and even in real its starting..so u cant blame her -
