Hailing from a middle class family of Haryana, where girls were not allowed to do job, and working in film industry is like a taboo, Mallika Sherawat, originally named as Reema Lamba, dared to pursue her dream of becoming an actress and is engaging it with a proud in her heart. Though she’s not accepted yet by her father, a conservative man, she finds their substitute in her brother Vikram, who she calls her soul mate.Mallika, pouring her heart out, said how difficult it is for a girl to face sociality if her family is not standing for her. She says her father hasn’t accepted her with her job yet. “A couple of years back, there was an assassination attempt on me for saying that in Haryana, women are treated like cattle at which point my brother got worried and shifted in with me to look after me. My father's relatives would have taunted him and said, badchallan hai, family ke muh pe kala daag hai, but I still felt very alone and hurt as anything could have happened to me then but still he did not call me.”She goes on, “Now that I am more mature, there is no resentment, but there is still anger and lot of hurt in me. My brother Vikram has always been attached to me and is my soulmate. After a while I started seeing my father in him and he became my pillar of strength. So much time has gone by and God has given you so much but you never recover from that pain. It's difficult to get over my father's betrayal as a protector that you expect as a young girl. I am his blood and who else can you look up to if not your own father?”Mallika is next to be seen in TV show The Bachelorette India-Mere Khayalo Ki Mallika, starting from Oct 7 on Life OK.
