No stranger to the west, Mallika last starred in a Hollywod flick back in 2011 with 'Politics of Love' and was also featured in a Bruno Mars Video 'Whatta Man' in 2012.

No stranger to controversy, Mallika also faced predjudice while promoting 'Bachelorette' in India last year. She was questioned about her comment, "Indian society is regressive for women." Sherawat stood her crowd and has ever since taken up the cause of gender inequality and violence against women, not only in India but around the world. Sherawat was interviewed by various American networks like MSNBC and 'Piers Morgan Show' to discuss the encounter and talk about women's rights.
Sherawat's passion for the cause also led her to an invitation to participate in a debate titled 'This House Believes Gender Exists to Oppress' at Oxford University.
We wish her success and look forward to watching her on Hawaii Five-0 come May 2, 2014.
