Mallika Sherawat is constantly making headlines again. From her outspoken personality on the OTT reality show The Traitors Season 2 to her recent viral moments with Bihar politician Tej Pratap Yadav, the actress has once again become a social media talking point.
On The Traitors, Mallika has been playing her game confidently, with her sharp remarks and no-filter attitude making her one of the most talked-about contestants.
Workout session with Tej Pratap
Recently, a video of Mallika working out with Tej Pratap Yadav went viral. In the clip, Mallika is seen guiding Tej Pratap through different yoga poses and exercises. While Mallika performs the moves with ease, Tej Pratap struggles to keep up and jokingly says, “Are bahut hard hai.”
The workout then turns into a playful exchange when Mallika compliments his smile. Tej Pratap responds by praising her smile in his Bhojpuri style, leaving both of them laughing.
This is not their first appearance together
Interestingly, this is not the first time Mallika and Tej Pratap have been seen together. In another promo of Bhojpuri Bawaal, Mallika was seen asking Tej Pratap to read her palm and predict her future. Tej Pratap tells her that she has a bright future but tends to spend money easily. He also says that people have broken her heart.
The conversation takes a playful turn when Mallika reveals that her zodiac sign is Libra. Tej Pratap says that he is also a Libra. Mallika then asks him which gemstone she should wear, and Tej Pratap recommends a yellow sapphire, or pukhraj (Golden topaz). Mallika jokingly flirts with him, asking, “Aur kitna tez chahiye… Tej ji?” The politician is seen smiling and blushing at her comment.
Mallika’s green dress controversy
Mallika also recently found herself in the middle of a social media controversy after entrepreneur and fashion personality Shalini Passi made allegations about her green dress. The claims sparked discussion online, with Mallika’s appearance becoming a topic of conversation.
However, the actor has often been at the centre of controversies and conversations about her personal life, especially her marriage and journey into Bollywood.
There is also another controversy, where rumours of her marriage with Paris business was spread. To this, Mallika clarified saying, “It’s not true.”
Mallika Sherawat’s love story and early marriage
Before she became known as Mallika Sherawat, the actor was Reema Lamba and came from Moth village in Haryana’s Hisar district. She reportedly got married at the age of 21 to Karan Singh Gill, a pilot with a leading airline.
According to accounts previously shared by her uncle Sushil Lamba in 2009 interview with Stardust magazine, the marriage was not a traditional arranged match. Reema and Karan reportedly knew each other, grew close and eventually decided to get married. Their families came together for the wedding, which was followed by a reception in Delhi.
However, married life soon became difficult as Reema’s ambitions grew. She wanted to pursue acting and build a career in the film industry, while her husband’s family reportedly had different expectations from their daughter-in-law.
Her growing interest in films and an independent lifestyle reportedly created differences between the couple and their families. Eventually, Reema decided to leave the marriage and pursue her dream of becoming an actor. Her decision was reportedly opposed by both families, but she remained determined to choose her own path.
Mallika was recently seen in “Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Wala Video.”
Her former mother-in-law had also spoken about Reema in an old interview with Stardust, saying that the family had loved and welcomed her. At the same time, she acknowledged that differences emerged as Reema’s career ambitions and independent lifestyle clashed with the family’s expectations.
Tej Pratap has also remained in the spotlight
Tej Pratap Yadav, the elder son of RJD leader Lalu Prasad Yadav, has often attracted attention for his unconventional public appearances and interests beyond politics. His playful interaction with Mallika Sherawat has now added another viral moment to that list.
As Mallika continues to enjoy renewed attention through The Traitors and her social-media moments, her appearance with Tej Pratap has given the internet yet another unexpected celebrity-politics crossover to talk about.
