Producer Sunil Bohra and Mallika Sherawat share what he calls a dard ka rishta. Sunil flew down all the way to Udaipur to participate in the grand finale of his buddy Mallika Sherawat’s self-marriage show The Bachelorette India (Life OK). Says Sunil emotionally, “It was the least I could do. I am one of her few friends in the film industry. I’ve known her from the time she came to Mumbai and was then called Reema Lamba. We hit it off instantly. Somehow, Mallika has continued to trust me since then.” Sunil’s BMW suffered heavy losses when he flew down for her. “My BMW broke down because of the inferior-quality petrol in Udaipur. I’ve lost Rs.12 lakh on the car. I think I should ask Mallika to reimburse me from her fee for the show,” he jokes. Sunil says Mallika specially requested him to fly down to be part of the show’s grand finale. “I was very busy. But I couldn’t say no to her. I can never refuse Mallika. She just has to call me and I’ll be there,” says Sunil emotionally, adding that he would be her best friend at her “real” wedding. Says Sunil, “Mallika seemed very serious about choosing her life partner on the show. In fact I had also been for the semi-finals where she wanted to introduce me to some of her suitors. To be honest I found some of them to be utterly unworthy of Mallika.” Apparently Sunil was openly abusive of the marital aspirations nursed by some some contestants in Mallika’s show. “I mean, how could they even think of marrying Mallika? I think she has made up her mind about whom to marry on the show,” says Sunil.
