What Deepika Padukone did in Gehraiyaan, I did that 15 years ago: Mallika Sherawat

Deepika Padukone, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Ananya Panday and Dhariya Karwa starrer Gehraiyaan was one of the most-talked about films of 2022. From Deepika and Siddhant’s chemistry to the messy plot of the film, fans just couldn’t get over it. However, on the other hand, in a recent interview, actor Mallika Sherawat who will be seen in a soulful song Meri Jaan compares Murder with Gehraaiyaan as she says what Deepika Padukone did in the movie, she did that 15 years ago.

While speaking to Prabhat Khabar, Mallika Sherawat said, “Earlier, the heroines were either too good, sati-savitri types, who were too innocent to know anything, or they were 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. She can make mistakes, she can falter, and you love them despite all of that.”

“The heroines are more confident about their bodies as well. Such hue and cry was created when I did Murder. 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,” she added.

She also accused the film industry of torturing her by just talking about her body and not her acting skills. “I should tell you that a section of the industry and media was mentally torturing me. These people only talked about my body and glamour, not my acting. I worked in Dashavataram, Pyaar Ke Side Effects and Welcome but none talked about my acting,” she said.
