Mallika Sherawat’s ‘spot on’ prediction about Kamala

On June 23, 2009, Mallika, who had moved to the US years ago, tweeted, “Having fun at a fancy event with a woman who they say could be US President, Kamala Harris. Chicks rule!” 

Reacting to her old tweet, an X user wrote on Monday, “15 years ago…” Another said, “Mallika was spot on…” A person wrote about Mallika’s old tweet, “Who is here in 2024?” Someone also tweeted, “Blast from the past!”

Mallika’s move to the US

In 2022, Mallika opened up about her decision to quit Bollywood and leave for the US to ‘explore other horizons’. The actor – who had made her debut in the Hindi film industry with Murder in 2004, and went on to work in several films – had told ETimes that her decision was ‘fruitful’ as she ‘met the then US President Barack Obama twice’, worked on a music video with singer Bruno Mars, and featured in an independent film, titled Politics of Love.

Meanwhile, with US President Joe Biden announcing his withdrawal from the 2024 election, the internet’s gaze has turned to Vice President Kamala Harris. She is at the top of the list of potential contenders to replace Joe on the Democratic Party ticket, thanks to the heaps of endorsements she’s earned since the announcement — including from the outgoing President himself.
