AUG 29 - That must have been some kiss. Bollywood sex symbol
Mallika Sherawat, who holds the record for the most on-screen kisses
in Bollywood, passed out while shooting a kissing scene in her new
movie, said director Saket Choudhary said in an interview.
But it wasn't the technique of co-star Rahul
Bose that made her swoon - it was the working conditions.
Sherawat and Bose were shooting the scene for …side effects
under water, said Choudhary.
"We didn't realize the water was so cold," he said. His remedy had
its own side effects.
"Mallika started shivering, so we decided to give her some brandy. But
the cold and brandy turned out to be a potent combination. And while
shooting the kissing scene Mallika
just passed out," he said.
Sherawat shot to fame with her debut film Khwahish, which
made headlines with a record 17 kissing scenes.
She has since won millions of fans and critics with a string of
scantily clad appearances, including a role with Hong Kong action
movie hero Jackie Chan. (AP)
More on Mallika from the web:
Initially an air-hostess, Mallika married and divorced Karan Singh
Gill, a pilot.
 Born October 24, 1981 as Reema Lamba in Rohtak, Haryana, India,
Mallika is a a model also, and is considered to be a youth icon in the
Indian film industry. She has a degree in philosophy from Miranda
House, Delhi University.
Sherawat adopted the screen name of "Mallika", meaning "queen", to
avoid confusion with other actresses named Reema. "Sherawat" is her
mother's maiden name. She uses her mother's name as a tribute to her
mother's love and support.
Mallika became popular for her show of skin and several kisses in
her movie Khwahish (2003) which was, by Indian standards quite
scandalous, as it featured seventeen on-screen kisses. Later that
year, she starred in Murder, again a film that raised eyebrows,
since she showed a lot of skin. She was nominated in the 'Best
Actress' category in the Zee Cine Awards, for her part in Murder.
She has also been in the news for a short appearance in a Jackie Chan
film, The Myth. She appeared at the Cannes film festival in a
revealing outfit as part of the publicity for the film.
In July 2004, the Bollywood film producers' union IMPAA temporarily
blacklisted Mallika. Filmmaker Ramesh Sharma complained that she had
committed a breach of contract when she failed to turn up, as
promised, for the filming of Kab Kyun Kahan (started in 1999).
Mallika, who has earned her reputation by shocking the Indian middle
class, was the first Indian woman to get an offer to pose nude for
Playboy magazine. She turned down the offer, citing her morals and
upbringing.
