Highlights
- Mallika Sherawat was reportedly being evicted for unpaid rent
- It's absolutely not true, she tweeted
- Mallika is believed to have been living in Paris for some years now
Actress Mallika Sherawat has denied that she has an apartment in Paris at all, in response to reports - including the one carried by NDTV - that she is being evicted from it for unpaid rent. In a tweet, Mallika said, "Some in the media seem to think I have an apartment in Paris. It's absolutely not true. If someone has donated one to me, please send me the address."
Francetvinfo and
BBC have reported that Mallika, 41, and her French boyfriend Cyrille Auxenfans owed about Rs 64 lakh in rent arrears and that a Paris court will hear the matter.
Mallika Sherawat, however, denies that she 'has' a flat in Paris - it's unclear if she means to say she doesn't own an apartment or doesn't rent one.
The apartment, reportedly located in the 16th Arrondissement, from which Mallika Sherawat and Cyrille Auxenfans have supposedly been evicted is also where the
couple were allegedly attacked and robbed last year. The
Francetvinfo and
BBC reports suggest that they have not paid the rent to show their annoyance about the alleged robbery. However, a lawyer for the couple was also quoted as saying Mallika and Cyrille are in 'temporary financial difficulties.'
The NDTV report on the alleged eviction flagged that Mallika Sherawat's tweets from yesterday did not reflect her supposed situation and that she had been posting about the film
The Big Sick.
Mallika Sherawat is believed to have been living - at least semi-permanently - in Paris for some years now. She is a regular presence at the Cannes Film Festival, at the last of which she promoted her film
Time Raiders. Mallika's film credits also include
Hisss,
Murder and
Pyaar Ke Side Effects.
