Mallika Sherawat has once again found herself at the centre of attention after making a surprising claim about Tom Cruise on The Traitors 2.
During a conversation on the reality show, Mallika was asked about her experiences with crushes and whether she had ever been the one admired by others. Her response quickly turned the conversation toward one of Hollywood’s biggest stars.
Mallika Sherawat makes claim about Tom Cruise
Stand-up comedian Aaditya Kulshreshth asked Mallika whether she had ever had a crush on someone or whether people had generally had crushes on her.
Mallika responded:
“Everyone has had a crush on me. Tom Cruise has had a crush on me recently. I’m not lying. If I had a phone, I would’ve shown you his videos.”
Her remark immediately became one of the more talked-about moments from the episode.
When Aaditya asked what kind of videos she was referring to, Mallika offered some additional context about her alleged interaction with the Hollywood actor.
She said:
“No, when we were partying together and all. He’s fabulous.”
Mallika did not provide further details about when or where the alleged meetings took place.
Mallika’s claim remains her account
While Mallika made the comments during the reality-show conversation, there has been no independent confirmation from Tom Cruise or his representatives supporting the claim.
As a result, the statement should be treated as Mallika’s account rather than an established fact.
The brief exchange nevertheless attracted attention because of the international profile of both actors and Mallika’s history of sharing stories about her encounters with prominent personalities.
