Mallika Sherawat Mallika Sherawat a.k.a Reema Lamba was born in Haryana, India. She belongs to a conservative Jat family who lived in the interiors of Rohtak. Her father was a landlord and her mother was someone who never raised her voice in front of him. She has a younger brother who was the only support in her family; someone who actually believed that she could achieve what she dreamed of. Her teachers at School say that even as a kid she was a flamboyant, bold, sharp, outspoken girl.
Mallika always wanted to be a star and was hell bent on achieving what she wanted. But her conservative parents, especially her father was dead against her quest for stardom. He still is. So Mallika ran away from home to Mumbai and slogged it out by doing various jobs including that of a part-time airhostess. There she met Karan Singh Gill, a pilot. They dated for a while and got married.
Mallika was such a dreamer that her husband found it hard to adjust to her idealistic wife and soon they parted. But the loss was entirely his! Mallika got some modeling assignments, which kept her going. Later she modeled for some top products like BPL and Santro with Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan.
