Before
actress
Mallika
Sherawat
was
finalised
as
the
face
of
The
Bachelorette
India
-
Mere
Khayalon
Ki
Mallika,
channel
officials
were
sampling
other
eligible
bachelors
like
filmmakers
Karan
Johar
and
Ekta
Kapoor.
The
show,
which
will
go
on
air
on
Oct
7
on
Life
OK,
now
stars
Mallika,
and
she
will
find
a
soulmate
for
herself
from
amongst
30
suitors.
"We
thought
about
Karan
Johar,
we
also
thought
about
Ekta
(Kapoor).
She
has
one
of
the
most
interesting
stories.
But
Mallika
was
also
right
on
top
of
our
list," Ajit
Thakur,
General
Manager,
Life
OK,
said
during
an
interaction.
Thakur
said
the
idea
was
to
zero
in
on
a
celebrity
who
was
desirable
and
was
willing
to
share
his
or
her
past
with
the
audience.
Was
Mallika
more
than
willing
to
do
so?
"Intially,
she
was
hesitant
as,
at
the
end
of
it,
she
still
belongs
to
a
conservative
India.
She
was
concerned
about
whether
she
would
really
find
the
right
guy
and
if
the
audience
will
accept
her,"
said
Thakur.
The
36-year-old's
"struggle"
in
the
film
industry
will
be
unravelled
in
the
show
gradually.
"She
will
unravel
her
back
story
in
the
show.
She
is
completely
self-made.
In
Hollywood,
she
has
done
a
film
and
a
TV
series.
From
Rohtak
to
Hollywood
is
a
big
thing.
This
is
what
we
will
unravel
in
the
show.
It
will
be
very
inspirational,"
he
said.
Mallika
has
featured
in
films
like
Murder,
Pyaar
Ke
Side
Effects
and
Hisss.
She
has
also
featured
alongside
international
star
Jackie
Chan
in
The
Myth,
and
currently
awaits
the
release
of
the
movie
Politics
Of
Love.
