Mallika Sherawat has just returned to Mumbai after attending a high profile event in Malaysia on 4th and 5th of December.
She was invited as a guest speaker at the Global Brand Forum 2008, which was held in Kuala Lumpur. Mallika was part of an expert panel where she shared her thoughts about the exciting challenges and opportunities facing the movie business and the impact of Indian films on brands and business, with personalities like Hollywood filmmaker Oliver Stone.
The discussion was moderated by celebrated international TV interviewer Riz Khan. “It was a huge surprise for me to be invited to the global forum along with Oliver Stone. What do we have in common? I guess for better or for worse we both have our own brands and as Oliver Stone says people either love or hate his films, but certainly have a strong opinion about him, his politics and his films,” said the actress, who will be seen next in Hissss, a Hollywood-Bollywood film directed by Jennifer Lynch.
“There are young people around the country who have embraced me, and then there are those who think I’m too controversial, radical etc, for their liking,” said the actress who was elated to share the same stage on which global icons such as Rudi Giuliani, Francis Ford Coppola, Dr Warren Bennis, Dame Anita Roddick, Dr Deepak Chopra, Tom Peters, Prof David Acker, Faith Popcorn, Jack Trout, Martin Lindstrom, Minister Mentor Lee Kuan Yew and several others spoke on brands, business and leadership.
