Actress Mallika Sherawat has recently made a bold statement regarding romantic relationships, asserting that European men are "far better" than Indian men. The candid remark was made during a conversation with fellow actor Shweta Tiwari on the reality show The Traitors Season 2.
In the sixth episode of the recently premiered season, Sherawat, Tiwari, and Rhea Chakraborty were seen engaging in a relaxed discussion. Sherawat expressed her intention to set up Tiwari with a "nice European man" who would "cherish you, celebrate you." This offer quickly led to a direct question from Chakraborty about Sherawat's preference.
On Men and Preferences
When Rhea Chakraborty inquired, "Are European men better than Indian men to date?", Mallika Sherawat responded with apparent surprise, "Is that even a question to ask? Are you out of your mind? Yes." She further affirmed her commitment to finding a suitable European partner for Tiwari.
Shweta Tiwari, reacting to Sherawat's strong assertion and the implication, playfully asked, "Mere piche kyu par gaye (Why are you after me)?" The lighthearted exchange was briefly interrupted by Shalini Passi, who urged the three women to change the subject.
The Traitors Season 2 Context
The show, The Traitors Season 2, has just begun, and early episodes have already seen notable moments. Actor Dalip Tahil joined the cast as an innocent after an early exit from the competition. The developing camaraderie between Sherawat and Tiwari is one of the relationships highlighted in the initial episodes.
Sherawat's outspoken views on dating and relationship preferences have previously garnered attention. Her latest comments on "The Traitors Season 2" add another chapter to this public discourse.
