MALLIKA OOMPHS IT UP... AGAIN

She’s known for opting to be away from the attention but this time, we found out where Mallika Sherawat has been hiding!

The actress was invited as a special guest to a UNICEF charity event that took place in Los Angeles last week. And boy, was she in good company! Dressed in a bright yellow Max Azria gown, Mallika mingled with English actor Michael York, Billy Zane (of Titanic fame) and his date, Princess of Congo, and other dignitaries including Lord and Lady Hayes.

And in her trademark style, Mallika said it as it is, with one of her memorable quotes — when a photographer at the event told her ‘Everyone is talking about you’, she replied: “Anything to bring attention to a good cause.” That’s Miss Sherawat for you!

MALLIKA'S GIRLIE TIME WITH SHIRLEY

Sherawat and MacLaine gab and grab some grub in LA; they discussed re-embodiment too!

Mallika Sherawat is on a Hollywood-meets-Bollywood spree in Los Angeles to promote and create awareness for her next release Hisss directed by Jennifer Lynch.

It is learnt that she recently spent some time with legendary American movie star, Shirley MacLaine. They were spotted leaving the Chanel store on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills.

They were followed by paparazzi and ducked in to a cafe for a late lunch. The meeting between the Oscar-winning actress and Mallika lasted over two hours." A few weeks ago Mallika met Shirley's brother, Warren Beatty, at the Beverly Hills Polo Lounge. It is unclear whether Warren arranged the introduction between the actresses.

A source close to Mallika says, "They discussed films, and gosipped. Shirley told her stories about Billy Wilder and the time when she 'kicked Jack Nicholson in the groin.' Ms MacLaine also enquired of her film Hisss, as she has long been fascinated by reincarnation and has written nine books on it." Since Hisss deals with reincarnation, the senior actress was quite interested in the film, and asked to see the teaser promo of the film.

Shirley is known to be one of the quirkiest Hollywood actresses, just like Mallika who loves drama. Naturally the two bonded like soul sisters, albeit from different generations. MacLaine gave the desi actress tips on how to make it in Hollywood.

The H-Town actresse's best films include Irma la Douce, Steel Magnolias, Terms Of Endearment, The Turning Point, The Apartment, Madame Sousatzka, Closing The Ring, Rumor Has It and Used People among others.
