model Mallika Haydon

 

'My first time in front of camera was for a Pepsi commercial. It was during a Cricket World Cup many years ago I featured in the ad alongside Sachin Tendulkar and Shane Warne. It wasn't something that I was planning to do. It just happened by chance. My friend was going for the audition and asked me to accompany her. I too was asked to audition and before I knew it, I got selected.'

 

'Yup...there is one more song which I've shot for 'Agent Vinod' with Saif. It's called 'Pyaar Ki Pungi'. It's a totally different song as compared to 'I'll Do The Talking'. There is not much dancing involved as it's a song which takes the story forward.'

 

'I was born in Hyderabad but grew up in Mumbai. I've pretty much been in Mumbai my whole life. My father is Indian and mother is Australian. We are a big family...I have 4 sisters and 3 brothers.'

 

I had just signed up with Bling and I got a call for an audition for 'Agent Vinod'. I thought it will be a good opportunity, something different and fun to try. I auditioned for the song and was lucky to bag it.'

 

'I have done a bit of ramp modeling here and there but never really thought of it as a career option.'

 

'It was a great experience shooting for the song. When they first said, I'll be doing an item song, I was expecting something different. But it was nice to be a part of a song that has a nice electronic vibe and is a peppy club track. I love dancing and had never got the opportunity to let my hair down and dance in front of the camera so it was a lot of fun. Bosco-Caesar have done a brilliant job with the choreography.'

 

If you have seen the promos of the song 'I'll Do The Talking..' from 'Agent Vinod', you would surely have wondered who the hot bombshell in the video is? Well, the lady is none other than model Mallika Haydon who has set the screen on fire with her sizzling hot dance moves. Mallika is also model and actress Lisa Haydon's sister.

 

'No...there is no sibling rivalry whatsoever. Lisa and I are two very different people with different interests as well. I have a couple of things going on besides movies; so for me, this is not the be all and end all. Lisa too has her designing work which keeps her busy apart from films.'

'I haven't had any formal training in acting but I have been trained in dancing. When I was younger, my sisters used to run a ballet school, so right from a very young age, dance was an integral part of our lives.'
