In an interview, Mallika revealed that some Bollywood heroes used to call her at night to request a meeting and justify her bold characters crossing personal boundaries.

According to him, some heroes asked him to come to their rooms at night, to which he questioned, “Why at night?” They used to reply, “You do bold scenes, so what’s the problem with meeting at night?”
Recounting another unpleasant experience, Mallika said that while shooting for a film in Dubai, an actor knocked on her room door in the middle of the night and refused to come in, which Mallika vehemently refused. After this incident, the actor never worked with Malika again.
