When people think of talented women in Bollywood, names like Katrina Kaif, Deepika Padukone, and Bipasha Basu come up. People in India and all over the world would probably also add Aishwarya Rai Bachchan to that mix. But who would've thought that Mallika Sherawat who just had a milkshake named after in Hollywood would receive an award for her "talent" in Jersey City, New Jersey of all places!
Well, apparently getting a little bit of buzz in Hollywood suddenly has made Mallika Sherawat the it girl all over the U.S. On Friday Mallika Sherawat was given an arts award by the Mayor of Jersey City, Jerramiah T Healy for her "unparalleled contributions to and influence on the Indian diaspora". We have to wonder if this mayor has even heard of her or if he can even name one of her films.
Mallika Sherawat who hails from India Karnal, Haryana, India was chosen by the large Indian community in New Jersey to be a recipient for this award. Although she hasn't been seen in much of late, Mallika Sherawat also received an award back in November in the U.S. called the 2008 Renaissance Artist Award. That honor has been presented to American actresses such as Salma Hayek and Halle Berry.
We just can't help but wonder why out of all the Indian actors and actresses who have had an influence all over the world-could Mallika Sherawat be chosen for such honors? Do our readers find it strange that an actress who has barely caused a buzz in India is being awarded in America? We want to know what you think about Mallika Sherawat getting this award in New Jersey. We can't wait to hear from you so make sure to leave comments!
