Mallika drops out of Sa Re Ga Ma at last

Just yesterday, there were media reports that Ayesha Takia and Mallika Sherawat were to appear on Sa Re Ga Ma as part of the promotions of the film, Shaadi Se Pehle. However, Mallika Sherawat left the producers of the show in a lurch, when she dropped out of the show at the eleventh hour. Just half an hour before the shoot schedule she sent a text message to the producer saying she was 'unwell.' Not knowing what to do, the producers got in touch with Subhash Ghai.

Being the professional that he is, he reached the studios of Sa Re Ga Ma in half an hour, flat, in order to make up for Mallika's absence. So the final episode will see the showman along with Ayesha Takia. While, they had a bitter experience with Sherawat, the producers only had good things to say about Ayesha. That's some brownie points for her.

We wonder if Mallika's absence had anything to do with the fact that just last week she was on the rival show Indian Idol 2? Go figure!
