For those who thought Mallika owes that recent glow on her face to her successful run, both on and off-screen, we have an interesting piece of information. The sultry nymphet actually owes it all to her heroes - not necessarily just the onscreen ones - who seldom shy away from locking lips with the kiss-miss.

"Lots of kissing is the secret of my glowing skin," she divulges but at the warning of not making her statement public "because it might corrupt the youth," she adds with a wink.

No wonder, given the chance, this Jat-girl enjoys the tongue wrestling to the hilt and why not- after all doing things half-heartedly has never been her style, be it exposing the hidden secrets or the hidden assets.

Being called sexy still swells her bosom with pride, controversy still remains her middle name but, somehow, success has changed something in her for sure. The babe has gone all diplomatic and no idea is too far fetched in her dictionary anymore, not even working with Kareena.

Amazed? Read on...

"If I get a good script, yes, I'll even work with Kareena," she pronounces to everyone's amazement.

"Everything changes with success. Yes, people have been mean, but I guess it's a different story now. Everyone is friendly and nice right now."

As her dad still spits fire about her skin show, Mallika chooses to carry on with her the work she started with ‘Khwahish' and ‘Murder'. Playing a dumb bimbo, Sherawat will be next seen in sexy comedy 'Kis Kis Ki Kismat' opposite Garam Dharam.

But if it's not controversial it's not Mallika flick. Living up to her reputation, Sherawat has once again sent the censor board into the tizzy with her panty show in the movie promos. Anupam Kher, for the perfect purist he is, has banned the screening of the teasers but Mallika counters the censor chief with the strong point.

"Well, I'm wearing this beautiful short red dress in the promos, and just because a little of my panty shows in one scene, they are not allowing it to be aired on television. In that case, they should stop airing all the female tennis matches, too," she argues.

Ask her about the count of kisses in her upcoming flick and she retorts, "Three are in the title itself, so that should give you an inkling."
