She may keep a low profile here, but Mallika Sherawat is creating waves
abroad.
The diva is a recipient of the US-based Multicultural Motion Picture Association�s Diversity Awards and is flying to attend a star-studded gala dinner this Sunday in California.
Mallika, who will be presented the 2008 Renaissance Artist Award � given to artists of diverse creative talents worldwide, will join other international celebs from the film and television industry at the Universal Studios� Global Theatre for the presentation ceremony.
The citation behind the award states it is bestowed for the recipients� �distinctive on-screen persona that is uniquely their own and allows their character depictions to bring audiences from laughter to tears�.
A surprised Mallika told BT, �I thought it was a hoax! But then I said stranger things than an Indian actress getting an award in Hollywood have happened... like a handsome black man in the White House!�
Past recipients of the award include top Hollywood actresses like Salma Hayek, Halle Berry, and Monica Belluci. Mallika said modestly, �I�m certainly not in their league yet, but hopefully in ten years � when I�ve worked as long as they have, I�ll have a body of work that�s as good.�
Meanwhile, after The Myth with Jackie Chan, the actress is doing Hiss for Hollywood with Jennifer Lynch and Robert Kurtzman. �It�s going to shock the hell out of you, but you will be entertained,� Mallika promised.
