| Mallika’s
excitement is palpable as she talks about her wardrobe
plans. “I’ve been forewarned by my hosts that Cannes
is all about what you wear. And going by the criticism a
certain Indian actress has faced for her sartorial
sense, Anita Dongre, Ashley Rebello and Ritu Kumar are a
few designers who I’m going to approach. Jack has
asked me to wear something ultra glam, very sexy and
Indian for the party.”
Mallika’s
next release Bachke Rehna Re Baba has Rekha playing her
sister. How difficult was it working with Bollywood’s
original diva? “I can make politically correct
statements, but honestly, my ears are itching to hear
that I was as good, if not better than the original
Indian diva,” says Mallika. About her love-hate
relationship with Mahesh Bhatt, she says: “You can’t
live without him, and you can’t live with him.
Contrary to what people would like to believe,
everything’s fine with me and the Bhatt camp.”
Having
the last word, Mallika laughs. “Mallika bashing was a
fad just like George Bush bashing,” she says. “After
having won the elections, Bush is still having the last
laugh. I don’t particularly like President Bush, but
do you think he cares?”
