Mallika, who has been residing in Los Angeles during the post-production of her film "Hisss", has been called a new Hollywood "It Girl" by members of the US entertainment industry.

Mallika is the first Bollywood star to have a Hollywood milkshake named in her honor, and a favorite on the Los Angeles social scene, charitable circuit and even rock-star parties. Now the curvy beauty has another good thing to feel delighted.
