The promos of ' Khwahish' is on air and everyone is asking the same question, who is this hottest chic on the block? If you're one of them too, then look no further we have all the answers to your questions. The girl is 21-year-old Mallika Sherawat aka Reena Lamba, a model from Delhi. She was last seen in Vashu Bhagnani's 'Jeena Sirrf Mere Liye'. But today she is totally different person. Mallika has stirred the hornest's nest with her seventeen smooches in Khwahish. Don't raise your eyebrows yet because then you'll have to listen to her witty relpy too. "What do you expect to see? 17 kisses on screen and there were many more during rehearsals, takes and retakes. If a hero can enjoy it, why can't I? Both of us had a great time. In one of the songs, we actually had bhang, as we were required to act intoxicated. It worked out well.", says this new oomph queen.
Talk about her chemistry with Himanshu Malik and she says, "I and Himanshu make a perfect pair in the film. We kissed as passionately in front of the camera as lovers do behind bushes or in the bedroom. I had a blast! It is a passionate film about marriage." Mallika's Khwahish talks about a dilemma every girl faces - to get into a relationship before marriage or not. "Sex is no more a taboo today and it is time Indian audiences begun to understand that. In how many Hindi films do you have the heroine go to the medical store and buy condoms? But then Kwahish is very realistic and portrays a young, urban and educated woman who is not shy about dealing with sex. And while some scenes in the movie may scandalise older people, it's an emotionally charged love story that I thoroughly enjoyed doing ", she says.
Although her raunchy moves may have made her the talk of tinsletown, Sherawat knows her conservative Jat family will not take kindly to Khwahish. "Honestly, I am here to be an actress, not a social worker or a nun. So why should I worry? But my parents are a different matter. Shock cannot describe their reaction - they would probably have a heart attack if they saw the film before I am able to convince them", she quips.
