Mallika Sherawat has made a striking claim about Hollywood actor Tom Cruise while appearing on The Traitors 2.
In a clip from the upcoming reality show, comedian Kullu asks Sherawat whether she has ever had a crush on someone.
Kullu asks her, “Mallika ji, aapko kisi pe crush aaya hai kabhi? (Mallika ji, have you ever had a crush on someone?)”
Sherawat replies, “No.”
He then follows up with, “Or is it always the other way round?”
Sherawat answers, “Everybody has a crush on me.”
She then brings up Cruise, saying:
“Tom Cruise is crushing on me lately. I am not lying. If I had my phone with me, I would have shown you the videos,” according to the clip reported by The Indian Express.
The remark has since attracted attention because of the unexpected Hollywood connection Sherawat described.
What did Mallika Sherawat say about Tom Cruise?
Following Sherawat's comment, the other contestants ask her what videos she is referring to.
One contestant suggests that Cruise may be sending her snaps.

“No, not snaps. I would show you videos of us partying together.”
The exchange appears in a promotional clip from The Traitors 2.
