Controversies • In 2017, she posted a video and addressed the issue of potholes in Mumbai; criticising Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC). After her video went viral, she was subjected to the rage of Shiv Sena, the ruling party in BMC. Following this, a Shiv Sena corporator released his parody, countering Malishka’s song. In early 2019s, BMC invited Malishka to monitor their pre-monsoon work and also briefed about the working of the civic body. However, this did not stop Malishka, and she posted another video featuring potholes. check sources

  • She trained actress Vidya Balan for her role of an RJ in the Bollywood film ‘Lage Raho Munnabhai’ (2006). Talking about the experience, she said,

    I guess it was Vidhu Vinod Chopra’s idea. You know, Raju Hirani (Munnabhai director) called me once and said that Chopra is a huge fan of mine, and wanted to mould a character in their next film on my personality. After that, Vidya would come over to the studios to learn the ropes and the mannerisms that go to make an RJ. I wouldn’t say she copied me, because I stretch the ‘gooooood’ in my greeting, and she did the ‘mooorning’!
