Did you know?: Veena Malik was first pick for The Bachelorette

Veena Malik refused to do The Bachelorette India because she was busy shooting four films.

According to Bollywoodlife.com, The Bachelorette India – Mere Khayalon Ki Mallika was never really meant for actor Mallika Sherawat. Instead, the producers had chosen actor Veena Malik as the most desirable ‘mallika’ but luckily for Ms Sherawat, Veena spared audiences the misery by refusing to do the show.

“The Bachelorette was first offered to me. After I refused, it went to Mallika Sherawat. I was also supposed to do Swayamvar on TV, but then it didn’t happen. When Bachelorette came to me, I was shooting four films back-to-back, and I couldn’t have let the producers’ money go to waste while I was busy honeymooning,” she claimed in a recent interview.

“No matter, main kitne bhi ishq-mohabbat karoon [how many times I fall in love], I will make sure that I marry the best man. But I don’t think this is the right time to look for Mr Right. I would like to concentrate on my career for a few years.”
