While the film premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam and won the NETPAC award, Varsha was told unpleasant things about Bad Girl. "While everyone back home was telling me I had made a trashy film…or a porno, I had the international audience at the festival and filmmakers appreciating it. It was a very disorienting experience for me. I wondered if I could’ve done something differently, but in hindsight, my objective was just to cut a cool teaser, so there’s no regret there," she shared.

She said that she felt no qualms in doing such roles and it was better than doing Dabba roles. Simran in Ziddi Girls web-series was the highlight. Now many feel that Simran was referring to Jyotika who acted in Dabba Cartel. Dabba also has a meaning  a hollow or no depth.

Malavika Mohanan Recalls Being Body-Shamed

In the interview with Hauterrfly, she revealed, “When I did my first film, I was 21 at that time. I was trolled so much for being skinny. My body changed in my mid-20s. That’s when I got a little curvier. I was trolled so badly, and it was harsh! It really affected me. I got called things like skin on bones, go get some weight… these are still polite things. There were some degrading things as well.”

She slammed people who make others feel bad about their bodies and called it bullying.

She also spoke about South's obsession with navels. “I used to be very perplexed earlier, too, because I’ve grown up in Mumbai. It was a completely new phenomenon that navels are obsessed over so much. And then you’d see pictures of actresses on social media, where they zoom into their bodies. Navel obsession is a very real thing.”

On the work front, Malavika will be next seen in The Raja Saab opposite Prabhas. She also has a Tamil film, Sardar 2, with Karthi. Moreover, she will share the screenspace with megastar Mohanlal in Hridayapoorvam. They have been shooting for the film in Pune.

If anybody blackens Maharaja baddie Anurag Kashyap face, Brahmin organisations would pay Rs 1 lakh. He made a comment that he would urinate on Brahmins. Altough he claimed to be misunderstood and apologized he is under attack. Now, several Brahmin organisations have come together, demanding strict action against him. Things took a sharp turn when six major groups joined hands and announced a reward of Rs. 1 lakh to anyone who “blackens Kashyap’s face.”

This protest is being led by the Sarva Brahmin Mahasabha and Pandit Suresh Mishra, who also heads Chanakya Sena. The joint meeting over the weekend saw support from other Brahmin outfits like Brahmin Seva Sangh, Akhil Bharatiya Brahmin Mahasabha, Vishwa Brahmin Parishad, and Akhil Bharatiya Brahmin Sangh.

He wrote, “Happened to watch #BadGirl, and it’s truly a bold and refreshing film! Director #VetriMaaran deserves immense credit for backing such a daring story. The film powerfully portrays women’s struggles and society’s expectations through a unique new wave cinema style. Congratulations #varsha.Anjali Sivaraman delivers an amazing performance—don’t miss this one!” Mohan G Kshatriyan responded - “Portraying a Brahmin girl(‘s) personal life is always a bold and refreshing film for this clan. What more can be expected from Vetrimaran, Anurag Kasyap & Co.. Bashing Brahmin father and mother is old and not trendy. Try with your own caste girls and showcase it to your own family first.” The final shot in the teaser shows the 2020 scenes of Thaali bajao during the Covid pandemic At the teaser launch Director Varsha said - I am not endorsing that women should smoke and drink through this film. I’m just telling the story of a girl that’s all this film is, it’s just a story and women can also be humans and not necessarily be of high character, that’s all.’ She added - I know I’ve not made a perfect film in some ways but for the Film Festival hopefully for the European audience, it will be acceptable.
