Mallika Sherawat caught in burkha again!

‘Reema Lamba aur burkha? Daal mein kuch kala hai...’ thought an immigration officer at Sahar airport, only to discover later that it was Sherawat in disguise!

In a freaky incident at the Chatrapati Shivaji Inter-national airport, Mallika Sherawat took immigration officers by surprise. The actress, who arrived from Bangkok recently, walked to the immigration counter wearing a burkha to get her travel documents cleared
Kuch gadbad hai
A source in the immigration department says, “After going through the passport details, which mentioned the passenger’s name as Reema Lamba, the immigration officer became suspicious. How could a woman with a Hindu name be wearing a burkha?”The officer, not familiar with Bollywood personalities, was even more perplexed as the passenger looked him straight in the eyes without any hesitation! Woh kaun thi?The officer, who does not wish to be named, presumed Mallika (aka Reema Lamba) was involved in nefarious activities thanks to the identity crisis. “He got suspicious as she had a Hindu name in the passport and was wearing a burkha. He asked other officers to summon her, match her identity with the picture in the passport and go through her travel documents thoroughly,” adds the source.
‘Yeh to Mallika hai!’
The atmosphere at the immigration counter turned tense for a moment, but one of the officers, who recognised Mallika after she unveiled her face, exclaimed, “Arey, yeh to Mallika Sherawat hai!” Within no time, officers and airport staff thronged to the department for a glimpse and picture of the actress.The actress acknowledged their appreciation with a typical ‘aadab’ (thank you in Urdu). “She took time out and got some pictures clicked with us without a burkha,” laughs the officer. A source close to the actress says that Mallika has often encountered such situations, hence she generally travels wearing a burkha to avoid being mobbed by fans.
