Malika Sherawat recently was seen with the American President Barack Obama, on three occasions and narrowly missed another opportunity, a poetry evening at the Presidential resident in Washington because she would be hosting a party for her film’s promotion on the same day at Cannes. Despite being a poetry lover (the actress accepts that she is quite fond of the 13th century Indian poet Amir Khusrao and the American poet TS Eliot and Mirza Galib of India, the 19th century poet) her work did not allow her to show her love for poetry.

For the Hiss actress, professional commitments always come first, informed a source close to her. She had planned to hold a cocktail party on Nikki Beach to promote her film Politics of Love months before having received the White House invitations.

It is learned that Malika had said she will campaign for President Barack Obama in the next election.
