Sherawat will be visiting the Twitter headquarters on 14 July where she'll greet fans, tour the Twitter office and give inspirational remarks to Twitter employees during their lunch break. Sherawat has been using Twitter to keep in touch with fans and document her experiences in Hollywood.

"One of the hard things about spending time in the US was being so far away from my fans in India," she said. By "tweeting" her experiences in the States, Mallika says she "hopes to also further the connection between Hollywood and Bollywood."

The actress has been regularly posting messages on her experiences in Hollywood, along with giving some tips to men on how to impress women.

"It can be fun, and can connect people. And when people are connected, amazing things can happen," she says.

In October, Sherawat will begin production on a new film in which she will be playing a character inspired by San Francisco Attorney General Kamala Harris, known as the "Female Barack Obama" and one of the New York Times' "most likely women to become the first female President of the United States."
