The films of Mallika Sherawat continue to bite the dust at the box-office, but this has not changed the behaviour of Bollywood’s sex kitten one bit. This was evident recently on a world tour, accompanied by other high profile celebs, Mallika turned up in a burkha and refused to show her face for identification to airport authorities.Reports are that Mallika arrived in a burkha at the airport with her brother Vikram and another male companion. When a photographer began to click pictures of the trio, her male companion approached him and threatened to manhandle him and his camera equipment. The reports quote the photographer as saying, “I took pictures of the other stars, John Abraham , Kareena Kapoor , Shahid Kapur and Zayed Khan . They were all extremely polite and cooperative. But when I began to take pictures of Mallika, her friend approached me and warned me to stop clicking or else he would break the camera.”There were many famous and well-known stars who were traveling for the ‘Rockstars’ concert. When it was time for Mallika to board the plane, she was asked to lift her burkha as proof of identity. But the actress was in no mood to comply and created quite a fuss about lifting her burkha.According to the reports an eyewitness at the airport said, “She refused to lift her burkha till her manager sorted it out. With top actors like John, Kareena and Zayed who would want to look at Sherawat anyway?” An actress from the ‘Rockstars’ tour stated that Mallika had previously not worn a burkha at all on the trip to and from Dubai.In fact Mallika was dressed in complete designer wear and was heard complaining about constantly being hounded by the media. But airport authorities have to follow normal procedure for every passenger, be it a star or a layman.Mallika had once stated in a magazine “People aren’t coming to theatres to see me in a burkha.” But she should know that neither are people at an airport coming to see Mallika in a burkha.
