Don't mess with Mallika Sherawat next time you see her. Miss '17 smooches' has just hired two brawny men to foil all your mischievous plans.

The jat girl finally decided to hire some help after the lurid comments became too much for her to handle. Mallika has been drawing a lot unwelcome attention after her hot act in Govind Memon's 'Khwahish', in which she smooched her way to success.

"Though there has been no physical threat, mercifully, but it's always better to be a bit cautious," says the actress who is not afraid of flaunting her oomph factor onscreen.

No, she is not trying to scare you. "My bodyguards are not here to keep fans away; I have them around in case someone gets too aggressive," she clarifies.

According to her: Sex symbol status isn't at all painful. In fact I'm enjoying it. It's wonderful to be surrounded by people who recognise your achievement and express their desire so honestly."

For those daredevils, who take risk and ask her if she is willing to do the Khwahish act with them she has just one reply, "Certainly, if you can get to be the hero of my next film". Any takers?
