The latest issue of 'Stardust' magazine, which hits the stands today, gives an insight into the actress' marital past, including an encounter with Mallika's ex mother-in-law, Mrs S S Gill.
Mallika was married to a pilot, Karan Singh Gill, when she was still Reema Lamba (her real name). The actress has never spoken about her whirlwind marriage and subsequent divorce. After achieving stardom, Karan and his family went into hiding, not wanting to do anything with Mallika anymore.
In an exclusive, 'Stardust' also tracks down Mallika's ex mother-in-law, Mrs G S Gill who makes no bones about her disapproval for her ex-bahu. When asked about Mallika, Gill says, "We don't know anybody named Mallika. A few years back, we had a girl in our family called Reema Lamba. She was my daughter-in-law and we all loved her very much. But, afterwards, her behaviour and independent nature started creating problems for us."
Mrs Gill explains that Mallika's soaring ambitions to make it big in Bollywood is what caused problems for the family. She says, "We wanted a girl who was independent in her thoughts but at the same time, someone who understood the needs of the family also. But her dream was something different from what we expected. She wanted to have a career in the glamour industry."
Reportedly, Karan has got married again but does not want to be associated with Mallika in any way.
