Mallika Sherawat loves controversies. Or is it the other way round?

A newspaper recently reported that filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt wanted Mallika to strip for a scene for the film, Murder. But the starlet found the scene indecent: "Even I have some morals. I too have a censor board in me and therefore I said no," she told rediff.com

Was it a publicity stunt, what with Murder being scheduled for an April 2 release? "This is the problem with the press," says the oomph girl who made an impression on the national psyche with her sizzling scenes in Khwahish last year. "If we [actors] don't speak up, they say we are hiding too many things. When we speak, they say it is a publicity stunt. We are in a fix. We just don't understand how to interact with the press."
