Mallika Sherawat is quite the ‘item’ this year. And, she’s flaunting her ‘Indian sexy’ image boldly on the cover of fashion glossy FHM, complete with a Vidya Balan-esque bindi. “What is there to be apologetic about? People have always associated me with the sexy image,” says the actor.

Apart from her item stints this year, she is all set to be seen in the sequel of Murder, which hits theatres in July. “I don’t know why all men want to see me naked,” she laughs, insisting that she’s looking for someone to cuddle and eat popcorn with, and is tired of being single. “I am not single by choice but more out of compulsion.”
