Hyderabad: Actor Mallika Sherawat recently opened up about changing her name when she entered the film industry. The actor was born as Reema Lamba and ran away from home to fulfil her dream of becoming an actor in Bollywood.

The ‘Welcome’ actor, in a recent interview revealed that her father felt that she would tarnish the family’s reputation if she entered Bollywood. And so, she decided to disown the name and had adopted her mother’s maiden name, Sherawat.

“It was my rebellion against patriarchy because my father said, ‘Ye filmo mein jayegi, parivaar ka naam kharab karegi, main tereko disown karta hoon (She will enter the film industry, she will ruin the family name, I disown you).’ Maine kaha, ‘Main tumhara naam hi disown karti hoon. Tum kya mujhe disown karoge (I told him that I disown your name). Yes, you’re my dad, I respect you, I love you, main apni maa ka naam use karungi (But I’ll use my mother’s name).’ So I used Sherawat, it’s my mother’s name,” she said as quoted by ‘Bollywood Bubble’.

However, in the same interview, Mallika said that over the years, the sourness has reduced. “It’s still not the best I would say, but with age everyone softens,” she said.

On the work front, Mallika who was last seen in Rajat Kapoor’s ‘Rk/RKay’, will next appear in a digital series called ‘Naqab’.
