The Return of Malini

Seattle, WA on Tuesday, July 5, 2011
By Malati Chopra: T-Fare Online
Correspondence: gayfareonline@gmail.com Attn: Malati


She ruled the hearts of millions for over a decade and then just disappeared off the face of the earth last month. There were many speculations about her whereabouts - from Fiji to France! T-Fare Reporter Malati Chopra was able to finally track down the actress and find out what exactly she's been up to.

TTO: There was huge controversy surrounding your “disappearance.” Now that you have resurfaced, would you care to enlighten us on your exact location?

Malini: I am so disappointed with the press calling my relocation a “disappearance.” The truth is that due to personal reasons related to my family, I decided to relocate to Colorado. The only reason I did not announce the move is because I was concerned about paparazzi stalking Rahul and myself. I had applied for a business visa to the US over a year ago, and once that was approved I quietly made the move.

TTO: Colorado is a state that is bigger than many countries. Could you please tell us where you are specifically in Colorado?

Malini: Absolutely not. I am tired of being stalked by paparazzi and even if I can put up with them, my son should not have to. I can only say that I moved to this particular area mainly based on the high quality of elementary schools here. Vancouver has schools with very low standards and this was just not acceptable for me. Also, relocating to Colorado allowed us to be in close proximity to our rental properties in Arizona and New Mexico.

TTO: How will this move affect your career in Trollywood?

Malini: It should not affect my career at all. Mata ki kripa se I had a super hit with FASHION and strengthened my position in the industry with a solo blockbuster DOSTANA. I will continue to be selective and work only in films that give me something different to do as I don’t want to bore my fans. But I will have the same workload as before. I never believed in doing more than 2 films at a time and right now my hands are full with Marvinder Johar’s Lajja and Kanti Raaj’s next. Once Lajja releases, I will consider other offers so this move will not affect my career in any way.

TTO: AL Bhansali has stated that he did not consider you for Darr because of your unprofessionalism. How could you be so ungrateful to rub your maker the wrong way?

Malini: Mr Bhansali is not just my producer but my maker. I would not be where I am today if it was not for him. With all due respect to his talents as director, I believe he has made the wrong choice for lead actress in DARR. I have seen the film many times and the role just does not suit the actress that he has chosen. Kiran’s role requires a sensuous girl that has an innocent sex appeal. I just cannot imagine the actress he has chosen in this role for 2 reasons. First, she does not have the body to carry it off and second, she is always covered from head to toe in every film. My fear is that she will do the same thing that she does in each film again in Darr and the film will bomb. One more point I want to make is that while I gave a blockbuster in a solo actress film DOSTANA, the actress chosen for DARR has given a super flop when she did a solo actress film GAYAB. As far as being unprofessional, I have already explained why I did not announce my move. If protecting your child and privacy is unprofessional then so be it!

TTO: Kanti Raaj is also on the list of those that you rubbed the wrong way. You signed his film and left him in a lurch.

Malini: Raaj and I have given the 2 biggest blockbusters in Trollywood – RACE and Dostana. I value my relationship with him as he has shown respect for my talent. I have so much trust in him that I told him I will sign his next film without even hearing the name of the film. I said “I don’t care what role you give me but we have to make our hat trick film!” He has signed Summer Pandey for his next magnum opus which is going to be either Ek Tha Tiger or a suspense drama which has 2 lead actresses in parallel roles opposite Summer. There’s no question of leaving Raaj in a lurch when I have given my word to him. If he felt insecure about my commitment to his film, I offer a public apology. He is the most successful director in Trollywood and I could never even dream of betraying his film or his trust.

TTO: There are rumors of your fallout with the Malhotra family. How could you separate Rahul's grandparents from their only grandkid?

Malini: As I have said, I will not comment on what I consider to be a personal family issue. Whatever the issue is, you can trust that we will work in out in privacy. All of us Malhotras have far too much class to air our dirty linen in public.

TTO: There are rumours also linking you to wanted crimal Richa. Are you associated with her in any way?

Malini: It's an insult to be asked this question. I do not associate with criminals. You should ask this question to those that partied, wined and dined with her and are only now trying to distance themselves from her. I have nothing to do with that con woman. I hope she's put behind bars where she belongs.

TTO: How are you planning to support yourself in the US?

Malini: Durga Ma has blessed us with enough to live on. I am a very humble soul but Rajiv (bless his soul) left Rahul with a good enough estate and since I am his caretaker, I am entitled to withdraw enough from his estate to survive. We realize that we don't take anything with us when we die, but are doing our best to live a decent life. Durga Maa ki kripa se we hope to find a nice house with a big yard soon for Rahul to play in. A good quality of life and education for my child is all I pray for along with the peace and happiness of all my fans. I wish each one of them a happy and prosperous year ahead as well as Happy Guru Poornima.

I wanna see Malini in the 2 actress project with the highly talented Natasha Rai. When these 2 appear on the screen, it's like MAGIC!!

Harish said...

THANK GOD SHE IS BACK!! I was getting worried. Malini jee please do not even think of leaving. Trollywood is incomplete without you. I am eagerly waiting Lajja's release and also excited about Kanti's next with you. I hope its the 2 actress film and not Ek Tha Tiger! The 2 actress film with Summer, Malini and Natasha would be even bigger hit than Dostana. PLEASE if Kanti is reading this, pls make the suspense film!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Glad to know Malini is now in the States. Is she planning to buy another penthouse? I must say she comes from a very colorful family background if she can afford to buy and sell so many multi million dollar homes. Its interesting that she talks about these homes and then calls herself "humble" :)

I disagree with her on Darr. I think Natasha has lost oodles of weight and is quite capable of wearing a seductive saree as Sridavi did in Mr India. Never say never!

Neeraj Khann said...

I think it doesn't make sense to say that just because Natasha never had a solo hit she can never have a solo hit. There's always a first time! Also, Natasha Oozes both sex appeal and innocence a la Manisha. So, I cannot think of a better person for the role of Kiran. As for being covered head to toe, you should not assume that until you see the film. I think Natasha will prove all her critics wrong with DARR. I also think that after stealing the show in Fashion, she's going to steal the #1 position this time. And as much as Malini may deny this, the reason why she claims Natasha is wrong for Darr is because she may be insecure. After all, we all know that she was desperate for this role. This is not an attack but simply a fact. For reference, please read Malini's last interview :)

Malini thanks for the news on your forthcoming films. Don't worry about Darr. If it was meant to happen, it would have happened. You may still get the film of maybe you won't get the film but the film will flop! Keep faith and stay safe sister. Good always wins over evil. We love you and can't wait for you to visit us again in YVR!

I am unsure if Malini is being completely honest about her location. Admittedly, she is keeping the location a secret due to paparazzi concerns. However, my gut feeling is that she's living closer to Auckland, New Zealand.

I also feel that Neeraj - Natasha - Farhaaz is a dynamic combination for Darr. Bhansali has made the right choice and has my blessings for this project. Natasha Rai is well aware that she needs to do something bold to win the audiences hearts. I am confident that she will not disappoint her fans.

I was an ardent fan of Malini but I have heard some very scary "rags to riches" stories about her. I did some investigating and found that the teaching job at UBC is questionable. I think she's beautiful but is hiding a lot of information about her past. I would like an investigative story by Malati Chopra called "How Malini Made her Millions!"

There's something fishy going on here. Just last Saturday I saw Malini in Celebrities night club in Vancouver. So, how can she be in Colorado or any other place? She was wearing very humble attire. Maybe researching for a role? There was also a hunky Punjabi man with her who I did not recognize. Is she visiting?

Respected fans and Critics,

I am sad to read so many mean messages on trolly site. I said already many times of article that I need to get respect of privacy and peace for myself and my son. I don't know why people are spreading so many dirty stories about me. I am just a humble and down to earth girl trying to live normal life. I don't announce when I fly into or fly out from States. Canada is my first home to ismein hairani ki kya baat hai ki mein weekends mein kabhi kabi aaya karti hoon? I am not criminal and I don't have any kinds of restrictions to stop me. I will move freely wherever I go. I have most respect for my fans but paparazzi and critics should respect my privacy and avoid stalking activities. If anyone dares to stalk me, I will use pepper spray or call police on them.

Respectfully,
