In an interview with ETimes, Mallika Sherawat talked about her parents, Mukesh Kumar Lamba and Santosh Sherawat and shared how she sacrificed them in her journey to become an actress. The actress admitted that she belonged to a Jat family in Haryana, and the day she left her home, it was the end of her relationship with her parents and relatives. Mallika admitted that she knew the consequences of seeing a dream as a woman in a patriarchal family. However, she left everything behind and moved to Mumbai to achieve her dream of becoming an actress. She explained:
"I lost my family when I came to Bombay to be an actress. I lost their support. I lost their love. I have really experienced a loss. When you are growing up, you are so naive because you haven't faced the world. You lead a very protected sheltered life. I thought I could conquer the world. Dekhi jayegi. Coming from Haryana, from the Jat mindset. I rebelled, I packed my suitcase and set out for Bombay. Luckily, it worked out for me."
Going further in the interview, Mallika Sherawat also talked about the time when she took another big step in her life, and that was leaving Bollywood for Hollywood. The actress got some exciting opportunities in the US, and it was a tough decision for her to leave the friends she had in Mumbai. However, after a lot of discussion with herself, Mallika once again chose to follow her dreams and went to Hollywood and is currently working there. She stated:
"When I moved to LA, I lost a few precious friendships that I had in India, because when you are so out of touch, you kind of tend to lose them. So yeah, I have experienced a loss like that."

She revealed:
"After having worked in Bollywood for 5-7 years, I thought the time was right to explore other horizons and different cultures. Faced with that situation, I told myself, why not. What have I got to lose? I have made enough name for myself in India. I've got money. I've got fame. Let's try to go to a new country. And boy, was it a good decision! I met with President Barack Obama, twice. I did a music video with Bruno Mars. I did an independent film called 'Politics of Love'. It was really fruitful."
