Ashmit Patel Spills the Beans: Mallika Sherawat’s Sly Maneuvers Left Him and Emraan Hashmi in the Dust During ‘Murder’ PR Tour. She’s a Pro at the Publicity Game! | Bollywood Gossip

Greetings, Bollywood aficionados! Your favourite cinema gossip monger, Bollywood Newshound Nisha, is back with yet another juicy tidbit, fresh from the glittering world of Hindi cinema. Buckle up, because you’re in for a ride! 😏

Today’s dish is served hot with a side of controversy, thanks to our very own Ashmit Patel. Remember him? The brooding hunk from the 2004 thriller, ‘Murder’? Well, he’s dishing out some intriguing ‘behind the scenes’ tales, and boy, they’re spicy! 🌶️

Ashmit recently spilled the beans on how the sultry Mallika Sherawat, his co-star in ‘Murder’, managed to hog the limelight during the film’s promotions. According to him, Mallika had a keen understanding of the ‘PR game’ and knew exactly what to say to get the spotlight shining on her. Clever girl, eh? 🦊

Recalling an incident, Ashmit revealed a time when he approached producer Mahesh Bhatt with his concerns, only to discover that Bhatt himself was instrumental in positioning Mallika as the face of the film. Talk about a plot twist! 🎭

Things didn’t stop there, though. Ashmit also recounted a controversial on-set incident where Mallika accused him of choking her during a scene. Despite having used a technique suggested by Naseeruddin Shah to ensure her safety, Mallika raised a hue and cry, leading to Bhatt demanding an apology from Ashmit. But no apology was forthcoming from Mallika even after reviewing the footage. Drama much? 🎬

Ashmit’s method acting approach, which involved maintaining a certain distance from Mallika to preserve on-screen tension, seems to have been misunderstood. He suggested that better communication with director Anurag Basu might have prevented the misunderstanding. Hmm, communication is key, folks! 🗝️

During the film’s promotions, the tension continued. Mallika was paired with Emraan, and Ashmit was left handling lesser-known publications. But hey, that’s show biz! 🎥

Despite the drama, ‘Murder’ turned out to be a box office hit, launching both Emraan and Mallika into stardom. As for Ashmit, he continued his career with various film roles and made a name for himself through reality show appearances.

Nisha’s Nutshell: In the glitzy world of Bollywood, it’s not just about acting chops. It’s also about playing the PR game right. And it seems Mallika Sherawat mastered that game long before others even knew they were playing! So, the moral of the story – in Bollywood, you’ve got to be a jack of all trades… or should I say, a Mallika of all trades? 😉
