Today is the day when Mallika Sherawat can raise her head high and proclaim it to the world that she has actually achieved something.

Because today is the day when her mentor and the original sleaze queen, Bipasha, took notice of her work and appreciated it.

In her candid confession, the sex Goddess showers the kindest words upon Sherawat and says, "I think Mallika Sherawat is an intelligent woman. She must be knowing what she is capable of, or not capable of. I haven't even interacted with her. A lot of people tell me things about Mallika, so I think she must be an interesting person to meet."

While appreciating, Basu doesn't seem to buy the argument that Mallika is eventually posing a threat to her reign as country's biggest sex symbol. According to her, 'Jism' will still be a masterpiece, given its great aesthetic sense backed by some wonderful performances.

But the Bong bombshell has no qualms about Mallika's bouquet of work either.

"She was a nobody and she made it big. If she's shown skin and she's shown some good skin, let her be successful. I can't really judge whether she is doing right or wrong. That's her personal choice, it's her life. And if she's getting films, it's good for her," declares Biapsha.

Ask her if she possesses the same guts as the rookie and Basu retorts, "If you are talking about ‘Playboy' centerfold, then I'm sorry. I'm not so comfortable with my body."

Her famous last words...

"Just sex won't sell. It can't work every time. Sooner or later people will get used to the idea of seeing it again and again, and they'll relax and want to know about the content of the film."

Is Mallika Listening?
