Having made the decision to pursue a career within the entertainment industry, Mallika abandoned her birth name of Reema Lamba (primarily because of the surfeit of actresses named Reema) and adopted her current moniker (Sherawat is her mother’s maiden name). As Mallika soon discovered, however, it’s a long, hard road from obscurity to fame and fortune. As such, the struggling performer took on a job as an air hostess and soon found herself falling for a pilot named Karan Singh Gill.

Although the two were married shortly after, their union didn’t last terribly long and Mallika was once again living the single life. Fortunately for Mallika, it was around that time that she finally managed to land an actual part on a movie: 2002’s Bollywood effort Jeena Sirf Merre Liye. Despite the smallness of the role, audiences and film producers began to take notice of Mallika’s beauty and natural talent.
