Well, it's been a great delighting moment for those witnessed a new-dimensioned Mallika Sherawat. Mallika Sherawat has just returned to Mumbai after a globetrotting spree. The actress arrived in Mumbai a couple of days ago from Malaysia where she was invited as a guest speaker at the Global Brand Forum 2008, which was held in Kuala Lumpur last week.

The gorgeous missy was a part of an expert panel where she shared her thoughts & comments. It was a great pleasure as she divvyed up with her brilliant motifs with personalities like renowned Hollywood filmmaker Oliver Stone & Dato' Farah Khan, President of The Melium Group, which is into the retailing and brand managing of international lifestyle and fashion labels.

The actress impressed everyone present at the discussion with her insightful & original views about the exciting challenges and opportunities facing the movie business and the impact of Indian films in brands and business.

The discussion was moderated by none other than celebrated international TV interviewer Riz Khan.

Much elated with an exciting endeavor, Malikka says; "It was a huge surprise for me to be invited to the global forum along with Oliver Stone - What do we have in common, I asked myself. I guess for better or for worse we both have our own brands - and as Oliver Stone says - people either love or hate his films, but certainly have a strong opinion about him, his politics and his films."

I guess its the same for me - there are young people around the country who have embraced me, and on the other hand there are lots of people in the country and in the film industry and in advertising who think I'm too controversial, radical etc., for their liking", she adds.

"Besides that he has a genius who has achieved so much and I've just begun my tough climb. But to share the same stage with someone who's made JFK, Platoon, Natural Born Killers and U Turn - All I can say is Wow!", she says visibly excited.
