The craving for sex is natural: Mallika
Hot siren Mallika Sherawat , who caught attention with seventeen kisses in her first film, has very liberal views about sex. Mallika is not the one who would talk about sex in suppressed tones. While she claims that she is still a virgin, she doesn't attach any piety to the idea of a girl preserving her virginity till her marriage. The hot belle rather opines that sex is fun, adding in the same breath that she has no hiccups in going physical with the man of her choice even b Mallikaefore marriage. Expressing her views on the issue to a leading entertainment tabloid, said: "I find the idea of a girl preserving her virginity for her husband quite outdated and repulsive. It is this kind of societal repression that is driving the youth to frustration and giving rise to crimes against women." "The need for sex is natural and the more you seek to curb it, the stronger will be the backlash," said the actress who promises more of 'revealing stuff' in her coming movies.

Having been compared to Halle Berry, Mallika Sherawat’s beauty has never been called into question. Her complete comfort with her body is apparent, both in her brashness offscreen and her on-screen performances. And that self-confidence is justified -- there’s simply no denying that her natural curves and silky-smooth skin are what guys dream about. Mallika Sherawat is the very definition of an exotic beauty, and it’s not difficult to see why she’s become such a notorious sex icon in her native India.


“I always wanted to be an actress. I'd ape all the actresses before the mirror even when it was forbidden in my community.”
