Actress Malaika Arora Latest Sexy Gallery

Malaika Arora Khan has been globetrotting and enjoying it. She admits that she's been lucky: "Honestly, when I began my career I never thought I would come this far. Everyone kept telling me that models and VJs don't last more than a couple of years. Whenever I came across someone who's been around for about seven to eight years, I would go wow! Today, I feel proud to be in that kind of an enviable position.

"When I am cited as an example of a successful VJ, dancer and a mom, I feel humbled. I've given 100 per cent to whatever I've done. But there's also a huge luck factor that has helped."

More the merrier

Of late, she's been promoting a number of brands and even doing cutting-the-ribbon routine. Endorsements one too many?

"The more, the merrier," she quips. "The number of endorsements and the kind of brands you are associated with is a barometer of success in showbiz. But seriously, I agree to endorse only after considering what value I'd be able to add to a brand. If a lesser-known brand gets more visibility because of me, it gives me a high. Money and mileage are perks."

Later this year, she will again be seen in a song sequence for a big banner film. "Whether it was `Chaiyya Chaiyya,' `Mahi Ve' or `Kaal Dhamaal,' they've been memorable," she says.
