The actress was born on October 24, 1976 in the small Indian city of Harayana, Rohtak County, in the family of a housewife and public servant.

The mother’s surname - Sheravat - was decided to leave at the family council, but Malik unanimously chose the name, which means "mistress".
Before starting her career in Indian cinema, Malika Sherawat managed to complete a full course of philosophy at the faculty of the University of Delhi. However, the exceptionally beautiful appearance of the future actress could not go unnoticed, and soon the girl was invited to a large advertising agency for the position of model. Here, Malika succeeded by participating in the creation of feature films, starring with such stars as Shahrukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan.

Career development

Talent or figure
The ill-wishers of the actress (who do not have them!) Often expressed accusations of lack of talent against her, supposedly the actress uses her only trump card - a beautiful figure.
