Mallika Sherawat may not be known for her ability to make friends easily but she makes exceptions once in a while. A source close to the actress says that when Madame M was in Cannes for the international film festival, last month, she happened to bump into another desi beauty — Freida Pinto at the Amfar dinner.
The common point between Freida and Mallika is that they are Indians who are trying to make it big in Hollywood. The source says that no one expected the two to acknowledge each others presence and thought that Mallika would want to be left by herself at the exclusive event. But trust Mallika to spring a surprise when you least expect it.
“We don’t know how it all happened. But the next thing we knew was that Mallika and Freida were chatting with each other. There was no sign of any animosity between them and they even gladly posed for pictures together,” says the source.
So, what did the two talk about? “We’re not sure. But they were overheard discussing their upcoming films and life in Hollywood in general. Mallika and Freida didn’t have a common agenda, because Freida was representing a cosmetic brand while Mallika was not part of any such group. But they discussed the difference in working styles back home and in Hollywood,” says the source.
Not most Bollywood beauties like to acknowledge another actor’s presence, especially when they are at international events, so we guess this comes as a welcome change, or is it too early to say that.
