Mallika Sherawat’s 15-year-old tweet about Kamala Harris has the internet buzzing – Did she predict the VP’s political success?
Since US President Joe Biden has withdrawn from the upcoming presidential election race, Vice President Kamala Harris has been at the forefront of political discussions. Endorsed by Biden himself, she is considered one of the top contenders to replace him on the Democratic Party ticket.
An old tweet from Indian actress Mallika Sherawat has resurfaced amid all of this, hinting at Harris’ political potential.
Mallika Sherawat’s 15-year-old tweet about Kamala Harris resurfaces
In 2009, the Murder star took to her X (formerly Twitter) handle and wrote, “Having fun at a fancy event with a woman who they say could be US President, Kamala Harris. Chicks rule!” This was around the same time Mallika had moved from India to the US to explore opportunities in the West.
Here’s a screengrab of her now-viral tweet:-
How did the internet react to Mallika Sherawat’s old tweet about Kamala Harris?
Several users have taken to their social media and are sharing a snap of Mallika’s tweet with their thoughts. One user exclaimed, “15 years ago…” Another added, “Mallika was spot on…” The third commented, “Blast from the past!” The fourth said, “She is a time traveler.”
Many compared the actress to Jofra Archer, the English cricketer famous for his tweets turning into reality.
Why did Mallika Sherawat move to the US?
In part, the actress wanted to explore other horizons, which she did to some extent. Mallika met the then US President Barack Obama twice, worked on a music video with Bruno Mars, and starred in an independent film – Politics of Love. However, her success in the US didn’t quite match her success in Indian showbiz.
Sherawat revealed another reason for leaving India in an exclusive conversation with Pinkvilla earlier this month. The diva mentioned facing bullying and harassment from certain sections of the media and the public, which led her to leave the country to find peace of mind.
Mallika was last seen in the 2024 Tamil film Pambattam.
