Has this page been edited down? The last time I came to this page, there was much more text in it...now it seems to have lost more than half of its previous content.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.116.153.69 ( talk • contribs) 18:43, 31 March 2005
Hi How r u My name Adam I'm Indian Me from Gujarat I meet u I'm in Mumbai Saymons ( talk) 14:20, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
The quotes are not sourced, not verifiable, and hence should be removed. Most of the trivia were either covered in the text, unverifiable, or advertising. (We don't need to advertise a diamond company.) The article is a bit choppy, and needs more research and connecting prose. Also needs categories, IMDB listing, etc. But it's late and I'm tired and I hope someone else will tie up the loose ends. Zora 09:12, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
I realize that some may be offended by Ms. Sherawat's provocative dress, but that hardly qualifies her as a porn star. A porn performer, by definition, would be someone who performs explicit sexual acts on camera. Ms. Sherawat hasn't even appeared nude. -- Konczewski 14:59, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
Mallika's birthdates listed in the box, and in the biography do not match. It might be tough to find out, but can anyone point me to a verifiable source and correct the mistake? Anagha 10:38, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
So 1972 it is! Anagha 18:34, 18 September 2006 (UTC)
Even I was under wrong impression about birthdate.So by mistake I changed it.But when I referred to imdb,I realized it.
Saffronguy 01:17, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
Isn't there a possibility that IMDb is wrong? everywhere else on the internet, it's 1981! mazzini
My principal problem here is with the sheer lack of evidence for ANY of this. Until we can find solid evidence (and I refuse to accept IMDb, who based their date change upon an utterly "unofficial" website: [ http://indiafm.com/features/2006/08/31/1499/index.html] that doesn't offer any evidence either. Your own reasons are based, in your own words, on "common sense". You offer no facts either. Certain Indian film/celebrity websites (MSN India, Santabanta, et al) list it as 1981. IMDb lists it as 1972.
In wider perspective, we really don't know all that much about Sherawat. While I've read in several places that she was an air-hostess, I've never found anything approaching recognizable proof for it. Unless the actress gets an official website, or there is a truly credible source of information about her, I'm afraid this article will be utterly against Wikipedia guidelines. In other words, it's all a load of hooey. Dr.rajkumar 8 October 2006 (UTC)
That seems a reasonable reference to me. As long as we state any claims made by the article as claims rather than facts. It's controversial, this is a living person, we must be careful. Zora 05:49, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
I have read the Indian Express article that you mention. Nowhere did it state that she was born in 1972. Look carefully and you'll find that the only place on the net where that's stated with any kind of discussion is the indiafm article. I'm not denying that there's an excellent chance she was born in 1981. My point is that 1972 and 1981 are equally unacceptable dates because there is no clear evidence for either of them. We simply don't know. User:Dr.rajkumar—Preceding undated comment added 10:37, 9 October 2006.
I think we have no option but to remove the 1972 date, especially given Wikipedia's policy regarding "libelous statements". My question: should it be reverted to the 1981 date (however unlikely, are we supposed to follow the "official" birthdates of living people until they are PROVEN wrong?), to "unknown"? Should a note be put in the article on the entire controversy? User:Dr.rajkumar 14 October 2006
"Libelous"= "containing, constituting, or involving a libel; maliciously defamatory." Libel= " anything that is defamatory or that maliciously or damagingly misrepresents." If she wasn't actually born in 1972, then writing that she was is HIGHLY libelous. Dr.rajkumar—Preceding undated comment added 16:23, 18 October 2006.
Hello guys, I m the one who changed the birthdate recently depending on Indian express story. You can follow the link as given in reference. There is no credible reference than this. I also reported this on IMDB. Waiting for their approval. Please you also report to IMDB. Thanks—Preceding unsigned comment added by Mallikawow ( talk • contribs) 15:10, 13 July 2007
An additional point indicating her birth year must be before 1981: http://bollywoodstaractress.blogspot.com/2007/10/mallika-sherawat-beats-time-and-age.html - McCart42 ( talk) 15:00, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
AS IMDB shows now her year of birth is neither 72 or 1981. My friends attended school with her and are in their 30s. So 1976 sounds correct to me. - Chandra—Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.240.18.8 ( talk • contribs) 00:44, 18 June 2009
The article had gotten extremely jumbled and I gave it a hard shake. I have the impression that material that used to be there has disappeared. Disputed birth date? References? I also removed some linkspam.
Too many revisions by too many different people and an article turns into incoherent mush. Zora 05:59, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

"Today, she is considered the sex symbol of India" - this statement is at best subjective and should be left out of an encyclopedic entry, given that people can have differing opinions on this point. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.103.192.73 ( talk) 00:07, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

I included following lines in the article: "Both Khwahish and Murder involved a lot of skin show and exposure.For example, both Khahish and Murder involved love making scenes with rampant show of her cleavage and Murder involved a brief bareback scene of Mallika." What is wrong about this?Why did editors remove my edit?

How come no mention of it? -- Rsrikanth05 ( talk) 06:08, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
Looking at the editing history of this page, I see that user Shshshsh has started to treat it as his own page, removing anything he doesn't like. I would therefore like to remind the user of WP:OWN and warn him that further violations of this principle could result in a report. As for the question at hand, it is no secret that there has been a lot of controversy surrounding Mallika's age - there have been long discussions about the topic on this talk page. Browsing the Internet, you will immediately come up with a lot of different birth years, ranging from 1971 to 1981. I don't know which one is true, and I doubt anyone else does either. What we do know is that the issue is controversial, and that is something we can source. To remove it because we don't like it violates Wikipedia's policies, and Shshshsh's claim that we should not include such a discussion because we should "respect her privacy" is contrary to a lot of fundamental Wikipedia policies. This is an encyclopedia, not a fan page. As for the quality of the sources claiming 1971 or 1976 as her birth year, they are just as good or bad as the sources claiming 1981. Jeppiz ( talk) 01:12, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
Comment: Since the Rediff interview does not explicitly mention her birthdate or year, it cannot be used as a source for October 24, 1981. If required we can use it to say, "A June 2003 profile at Rediff.com said that she was 21 years old at that time" in the body of the article, although in my view such trivia is optional. Abecedare ( talk) 17:55, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
I found a new source from Rediff ( here), in which there was an article congratulating all the Indian actors born in October. Unfortunately, they did not mention years of birth for any of them, but the previous Rediff source dated June 5, 2003 said she was 21 at that point, which means she became 22 in October that same year. Don't know if it becomes an act of synthesis, but I believe it is a fine calculation. And I also found an MSN article, which provides her full date of birth: October 24, 1981. Shahid • Talk2me 18:19, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
Rediff does seem to have published different ages for MS. The problem with turning this into a "Age controversy" is that we will be synthesizing a controversy without any reliable sources making that claim. Since, at this moment, we don't have any incontrovertibly reliable source for her age (or claimed age), it would be best to simply leave it out of the article. If and when we have a good source for that, we can add the date. Abecedare ( talk) 20:35, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
The part of you have added doesnt look informative. It is highly opinionative. There is no need of so much of story in a wikipedia article. It would be good if you can edit the part to be precise and upto the point. I hope you got my point. It would be disastrous on part of us if we allow negative/positive points about a individual person ( by just providing some news source) in wikipedia
Thanks for your understanding SaatwikG ( talk) 06:19, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
Who knows if those relatives and parents are correct or not? Is Indian express reporter the final judge? The way you concluded whole thing is extremely negative and this is not a neutral point of view in any sense ( the way you added hindi words reflect this completely) Pls check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view. Who told you that "sherawat" name doesnt exist? Please check http://www.jatland.com/home/Sherawat. And Is there any importance to the article whether she was forced to marry or with her desire? — Preceding unsigned comment added by SaatwikG ( talk • contribs) 15:33, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
The version you have added is completely a judgement rather than facts. There is lot of discussion on her early life in her wiki page. Nobody knows what is truth. Thats the reason they haven't added any part of it to the wiki page. Please move this arguments to discussion page SaatwikG ( talk) 17:10, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
As I said, you are of the view that her version is entirely wrong and indian express version is true. This is like a cooking up story. There will be lot of gossip floating around newspapers on movie actors. Should we include all that and try to project it as a true story? Is there any need for all these statements w.r.to her early life? You are trying to portray her character in a wrong way. I checked lot of Indian celebrities wikipages. There is no need for explaining everything in wikipage unless it is highly useful to the article. (1) I have given a link where sherawat is entirely valid surname. Is there any link which says her mother maiden name is sehrawat? (2) How do you know that whether her marriage is a forced one or based on her desire. These are entirely personal things which we are not sure about. (3) I believe below sentences are pure gossip which adds no value to the article and putting them on wiki is highly objectionable.
When her father, Mukesh Kumar Lamba, questioned her she is said to have replied that "Papa, filmon mein yeh sab kehna padta hai achchi publicity ke liye.
Glamour photographers recall that Reema Gill, as she was known then, would avoid any mention of her husband, even deny being married. Her publicity statements also got her father in trouble as he had to spent a lot of time pacifying angry relatives when Mallika has said in interviews, "I come from a place where women are kept in the backyard along with cattle"; that her parents "fled from Rohtak" because relatives disapproved of her career choice; and again, "In my family, no woman has even held a job " SaatwikG ( talk) 17:50, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
User Indian chronicles is trying to represent Mallika's early life in his own way. For this, he is using Indian express article. There will always be lot of gossip and controversies about movie stars. I believe there is no need to include whole story into the article. So I believe below lines will represent the issue completely and in a precise way.
"During initial days of her career, she claimed that she came from a very conservative small town family and she faced many hurdles from her family in pursuing of her career.[10] However Mallika's family has refuted her story [citation from Indian express]
It would be good to have a discussion on this and get to a logical conclusion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SaatwikG ( talk • contribs) 18:11, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
I have conceded that some part of this may be included from your addition and agreed to include in more reasonable and neutral way and that is what my version.
"During initial days of her career, she claimed that she came from a very conservative small town family and she faced many hurdles from her family in pursuing of her career.[10] However Mallika's family has refuted her story [citation from Indian express]
The present Indian express article is disputed for this wiki page. See earlier discussion on her age and nobody was able to conclude anything from it. This story appeared in 2004. The fact that this part was not added in her "early life" by anybody from several years suggests either this is not important data or it is controversial.
Don't conclude that I m fan of her. If I m a fan of her, I wouldn't have agreed to adding indian express article at all.
Finally my conclusion is that you are trying to put your point of view in the wiki page quoting some newspapers. And there is no need for so much of her quotes in hindi to be included in the wiki page. Wiki page should be minimal and precise. Hope you got my point. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SaatwikG ( talk • contribs) 16:57, 6 January 2011 (UTC)
SaatwikG ( talk) 18:44, 9 January 2011 (UTC)
I completely agree with the version of Bollyjeff which is well written and structured, and I understand the reason behind the removals made by SaatwikG. Indian Chronicles ( talk · contribs)'s version is sourced but it lacks neutrality and is evidently added to show Sherawat in a bad light.
I think the article should be restored back to Bollyjeff's version. If three editors, including (obviously) Bollyjeff, SaatwikG, and myself, agree to make it that way then there's a clear consensus which must be respected.
If edit warring is continued from now on, this will be reported and taken care of by an administrator as soon as possible. Thanks, Shahid • Talk2me 16:01, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
There is a doubt among some of the authors that it may possible that she kept "sherawat" name for better sounding and friends do think that way. But recent article from Times of India says it is indeed her mother's gotra or maiden name http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Mallikas-great-grandfather-more-popular-than-her-at-her-native-village-in-Haryana/articleshow/7361685.cms So i m planning to remove this part of article " Friends have said, though, that she opted for the surname Sherawat for its distinctive sound and not, as Mallika later said, because of her strained relationship with her father and his relatives." Please discuss if you have any concern. SaatwikG ( talk) 14:23, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
The earlier article which was adopted here was : http://www.expressindia.com/news/fullstory.php?newsid=31255 It actually says her mother's maiden name is sehrawat not sherawat as claimed by friends. Quoting here from the article: "Friends say she opted for the uncommon surname Sherawat (a modification of her mother’s maiden name Sehrawat) for its distinctive sound and not, as Mallika later said, because of her strained relationship with her father and his relatives." And the recent article says sherawat is infact her mother's maiden name. "She chose the gotra of her mother – Sherawat". I think there is no need of so much of controversy here on "sherawat" name as the whole name itself is adopted. we need to just quote that sherawat is her maiden name and remove other part.

She has been called as “a pure soul” by Shri Shankaracharya Raghaveshwara Bharathi swamiji.

Yes, this absolutely is, only if you understand who Mallika is and what she has always been known for. A 'Bombshell'! Moreover, she is often identified as one of the sex goddesses/symbols in Bollywood. This being the truth on one hand, you must also understand the truth on the other hand as to who the said-swamiji is - he is one of the Shankaracharyas with a lineage. Swamijis are virgins and maintain certain distance from women at all times. However, in this case, He said to have invited her to this religious event (to Hanuman's stoning ceremony - who is known to be a virgin god - a male god) which seems to be inappropriate and declaring her "pure soul" is controversial.
In Hinduism, Shankaracharyas are held in high esteem. They are similar to the position of Pope in Christianity. So when a Shankaracharya quotes her as "pure soul" in public, this is indeed something. For Mallika, it is no doubt a great recognition. It may also be a gimmick to gain media attention, as far as Mallika's intentions go. The incident did occur, hence it is important, nonetheless. The topic does have sufficient reliable sources.
I do not intend to say anything else or more about this, but what I have said is sufficient enough to prove that this is indeed a controversy and is one of the important event in her life. -- Bharathiya 03:49, 16 June 2012 (UTC) talk
I've restored the portrait image per WP:PERTINENCE. None of the images currently in the article are very good, but at least in this she's looking near the camera.

AS IMDB shows now her year of birth is neither 72 or 1981. My friends attended school with her and are in their 30s. So 1976 sounds correct to me. - Chandra—Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.240.18.8 ( talk • contribs) 00:44, 18 June 2009
The article had gotten extremely jumbled and I gave it a hard shake. I have the impression that material that used to be there has disappeared. Disputed birth date? References? I also removed some linkspam.

I included following lines in the article: "Both Khwahish and Murder involved a lot of skin show and exposure.For example, both Khahish and Murder involved love making scenes with rampant show of her cleavage and Murder involved a brief bareback scene of Mallika."

How come no mention of it? -- Rsrikanth05 ( talk) 06:08, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
Looking at the editing history of this page, I see that user Shshshsh has started to treat it as his own page, removing anything he doesn't like. I would therefore like to remind the user of WP:OWN and warn him that further violations of this principle could result in a report. As for the question at hand, it is no secret that there has been a lot of controversy surrounding Mallika's age - there have been long discussions about the topic on this talk page. Browsing the Internet, you will immediately come up with a lot of different birth years, ranging from 1971 to 1981. I don't know which one is true, and I doubt anyone else does either. What we do know is that the issue is controversial, and that is something we can source. To remove it because we don't like it violates Wikipedia's policies, and Shshshsh's claim that we should not include such a discussion because we should "respect her privacy" is contrary to a lot of fundamental Wikipedia policies. This is an encyclopedia, not a fan page. As for the quality of the sources claiming 1971 or 1976 as her birth year, they are just as good or bad as the sources claiming 1981. Jeppiz ( talk) 01:12, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
Comment: Since the Rediff interview does not explicitly mention her birthdate or year, it cannot be used as a source for October 24, 1981. If required we can use it to say, "A June 2003 profile at Rediff.com said that she was 21 years old at that time" in the body of the article, although in my view such trivia is optional. Abecedare ( talk) 17:55, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
I found a new source from Rediff ( here), in which there was an article congratulating all the Indian actors born in October. Unfortunately, they did not mention years of birth for any of them, but the previous Rediff source dated June 5, 2003 said she was 21 at that point, which means she became 22 in October that same year. Don't know if it becomes an act of synthesis, but I believe it is a fine calculation. And I also found an MSN article, which provides her full date of birth: October 24, 1981. Shahid • Talk2me 18:19, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
Rediff does seem to have published different ages for MS. The problem with turning this into a "Age controversy" is that we will be synthesizing a controversy without any reliable sources making that claim. Since, at this moment, we don't have any incontrovertibly reliable source for her age (or claimed age), it would be best to simply leave it out of the article. If and when we have a good source for that, we can add the date. Abecedare ( talk) 20:35, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
The part of you have added doesnt look informative. It is highly opinionative. There is no need of so much of story in a wikipedia article. It would be good if you can edit the part to be precise and upto the point. I hope you got my point. It would be disastrous on part of us if we allow negative/positive points about a individual person ( by just providing some news source) in wikipedia
Thanks for your understanding SaatwikG ( talk) 06:19, 28 December 2010 (UTC)
Who knows if those relatives and parents are correct or not? Is Indian express reporter the final judge? The way you concluded whole thing is extremely negative and this is not a neutral point of view in any sense ( the way you added hindi words reflect this completely) Pls check http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view. Who told you that "sherawat" name doesnt exist? Please check http://www.jatland.com/home/Sherawat. And Is there any importance to the article whether she was forced to marry or with her desire? — Preceding unsigned comment added by SaatwikG ( talk • contribs) 15:33, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
The version you have added is completely a judgement rather than facts. There is lot of discussion on her early life in her wiki page. Nobody knows what is truth. Thats the reason they haven't added any part of it to the wiki page. Please move this arguments to discussion page SaatwikG ( talk) 17:10, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
As I said, you are of the view that her version is entirely wrong and indian express version is true. This is like a cooking up story. There will be lot of gossip floating around newspapers on movie actors. Should we include all that and try to project it as a true story? Is there any need for all these statements w.r.to her early life? You are trying to portray her character in a wrong way. I checked lot of Indian celebrities wikipages. There is no need for explaining everything in wikipage unless it is highly useful to the article. (1) I have given a link where sherawat is entirely valid surname. Is there any link which says her mother maiden name is sehrawat? (2) How do you know that whether her marriage is a forced one or based on her desire. These are entirely personal things which we are not sure about. (3) I believe below sentences are pure gossip which adds no value to the article and putting them on wiki is highly objectionable.
When her father, Mukesh Kumar Lamba, questioned her she is said to have replied that "Papa, filmon mein yeh sab kehna padta hai achchi publicity ke liye.
Glamour photographers recall that Reema Gill, as she was known then, would avoid any mention of her husband, even deny being married. Her publicity statements also got her father in trouble as he had to spent a lot of time pacifying angry relatives when Mallika has said in interviews, "I come from a place where women are kept in the backyard along with cattle"; that her parents "fled from Rohtak" because relatives disapproved of her career choice; and again, "In my family, no woman has even held a job " SaatwikG ( talk) 17:50, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
User Indian chronicles is trying to represent Mallika's early life in his own way. For this, he is using Indian express article. There will always be lot of gossip and controversies about movie stars. I believe there is no need to include whole story into the article. So I believe below lines will represent the issue completely and in a precise way.
"During initial days of her career, she claimed that she came from a very conservative small town family and she faced many hurdles from her family in pursuing of her career.[10] However Mallika's family has refuted her story [citation from Indian express]
It would be good to have a discussion on this and get to a logical conclusion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SaatwikG ( talk • contribs) 18:11, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
I have conceded that some part of this may be included from your addition and agreed to include in more reasonable and neutral way and that is what my version.
"During initial days of her career, she claimed that she came from a very conservative small town family and she faced many hurdles from her family in pursuing of her career.[10] However Mallika's family has refuted her story [citation from Indian express]
The present Indian express article is disputed for this wiki page. See earlier discussion on her age and nobody was able to conclude anything from it. This story appeared in 2004. The fact that this part was not added in her "early life" by anybody from several years suggests either this is not important data or it is controversial.
Don't conclude that I m fan of her. If I m a fan of her, I wouldn't have agreed to adding indian express article at all.
Finally my conclusion is that you are trying to put your point of view in the wiki page quoting some newspapers. And there is no need for so much of her quotes in hindi to be included in the wiki page. Wiki page should be minimal and precise. Hope you got my point. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SaatwikG ( talk • contribs) 16:57, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

I completely agree with the version of Bollyjeff which is well written and structured, and I understand the reason behind the removals made by SaatwikG. Indian Chronicles ( talk · contribs)'s version is sourced but it lacks neutrality and is evidently added to show Sherawat in a bad light.
I think the article should be restored back to Bollyjeff's version. If three editors, including (obviously) Bollyjeff, SaatwikG, and myself, agree to make it that way then there's a clear consensus which must be respected.
If edit warring is continued from now on, this will be reported and taken care of by an administrator as soon as possible. Thanks, Shahid • Talk2me 16:01, 10 January 2011 (UTC)
There is a doubt among some of the authors that it may possible that she kept "sherawat" name for better sounding and friends do think that way. But recent article from Times of India says it is indeed her mother's gotra or maiden name http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/india/Mallikas-great-grandfather-more-popular-than-her-at-her-native-village-in-Haryana/articleshow/7361685.cms So i m planning to remove this part of article " Friends have said, though, that she opted for the surname Sherawat for its distinctive sound and not, as Mallika later said, because of her strained relationship with her father and his relatives." Please discuss if you have any concern. SaatwikG ( talk) 14:23, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
The earlier article which was adopted here was : http://www.expressindia.com/news/fullstory.php?newsid=31255 It actually says her mother's maiden name is sehrawat not sherawat as claimed by friends. Quoting here from the article: "Friends say she opted for the uncommon surname Sherawat (a modification of her mother’s maiden name Sehrawat) for its distinctive sound and not, as Mallika later said, because of her strained relationship with her father and his relatives." And the recent article says sherawat is infact her mother's maiden name. "She chose the gotra of her mother – Sherawat". I think there is no need of so much of controversy here on "sherawat" name as the whole name itself is adopted. we need to just quote that sherawat is her maiden name and remove other part.

This thing can be added to the main page; since this is not an ordinary thing:
She has been called as “a pure soul” by Shri Shankaracharya Raghaveshwara Bharathi swamiji. Sherawat also said to have broke ground for the pontiff’s Hanuman temple project at a cave which is said to be God Hanuman's birth place (according to shankaracharya) at Gokarna.

Yes, this absolutely is, only if you understand who Mallika is and what she has always been known for. A 'Bombshell'! Moreover, she is often identified as one of the sex goddesses/symbols in Bollywood. This being the truth on one hand, you must also understand the truth on the other hand as to who the said-swamiji is - he is one of the Shankaracharyas with a lineage. Swamijis are virgins and maintain certain distance from women at all times. However, in this case, He said to have invited her to this religious event (to Hanuman's stoning ceremony - who is known to be a virgin god - a male god) which seems to be inappropriate and declaring her "pure soul" is controversial.
In Hinduism, Shankaracharyas are held in high esteem. They are similar to the position of Pope in Christianity. So when a Shankaracharya quotes her as "pure soul" in public, this is indeed something. For Mallika, it is no doubt a great recognition. It may also be a gimmick to gain media attention, as far as Mallika's intentions go. The incident did occur, hence it is important, nonetheless. The topic does have sufficient reliable sources.
I do not intend to say anything else or more about this, but what I have said is sufficient enough to prove that this is indeed a controversy and is one of the important event in her life. -- Bharathiya 03:49, 16 June 2012 (UTC) talk
I've restored the portrait image per WP:PERTINENCE. None of the images currently in the article are very good, but at least in this she's looking near the camera.
