Actress Mallika Sherawat is no stranger to the limelight, good or bad. After the graphic MMS video clip of a sex act between a foreigner and a lookalike of Mallika began doing the rounds on mobile phones, a ?hurt, upset, livid, and angry? Mallika, who?s currently in France, approached the Mumbai Crime Branch, and the Cyber Crime Cell about the offending clips. After a lot of prodding, the actor spoke to Bollywood Times. ?I?ve not seen the clip, but I feel so helpless. I broke down when I heard of it,? she says. ?I am shocked and in a state of disbelief.?The actor, who has boldly proclaimed that there?s nothing wrong with being described as a sex symbol, denies it?s her in the MMS clip. ?It?s not me. Somebody is behind this for sure. And it?s a menacing act. This harms my dignity, my reputation and my name. Today it?s me, tomorrow it could be anybody. Because I am innocent, I didn?t want to keep quiet and went and lodged complaints with the concerned authorities.?

The actress isn?t bothered about the source of the six-minute long triple-X MMS clip. ?I heard the picture is perfectly colour co-ordinated and well toned. My face has been placed on someone else?s body. It?s a classic case of technology abuse. I?ve come here to work, and at this traumatic time, I want people to stand by me and support me. I am a girl, just like anybody. It?s sad that some pervert is having fun at the cost of someone?s honour and dignity. And instead of supporting a girl in distress, some are making a tamasha out of it,? fumes the forthright actor. Hypothetically speaking, if the picture really did depict her engaged in a sexual act with someone, what would she have done? Mallika refuses to consider it. ?Let?s not get into that territory.?
