Oh ya my friend??? I don't know where did you learn your Hindi from??
Kushal is an insane person who doesn't respect women at all.
let me tell you that I was born, raised and educated in Dehra Dun. I have also lived in new Delhi for little over a year. The mall is a very cheap and offensive word which is used by Sadakshaap or Tapori type boys in northern India. This term means time pass girl or a prostitute. They use it for sex symbols, use her and forget about her.
Now does it look like a complement to you?? It is really disgusting.
For your information here is what people think about this word on Yahoo forums:
My boyfriend in Indian, from UP, and if he is with people he doesn't know, he tells them that I am his 'maal'. We have been together for 3 years. Does 'maal' mean girlfriend, is it ok to use, or do I need to beat him? :-) His English is quite good, but he never uses the word girlfriend...
I am learning Hindi but it takes time, so your thoughts are really helpful. (I am English).
Thank you!

'Maal'(often meaning a prostitute) is an indecent word to refer to a girlfriend. Although some northern Indians use it to refer to their girlfriends, most of those who do almost always r not serious about the relationship, they're all about sex and time pass, albeit they don't show it of course. Although there's definitely a possibility that ur bf may refer to u as 'maal' AFFECTIONATELY, otherwise try sorting it out with him or dump him. Be smart. All the best.

if he loves u he wil never say like this maal , this is akward word and used by ordinary boys,(tapory) if some one love some one he will not say like this, if he says like this means he want to use u as a maal , maal means time pass girl, for time being, not permanent, either try to teach him not to say like this or ignore him ,
if u need more advice ?
well, i'm from India but i'm from the far south. But from whatever little hindi i know, i think it means something like a "sexy babe" or something like that. So don't you beat up that poor bloke. LOL

Hi ! In India we boys call all hot looking girls as maal and sometimes all women. Maal in Hindi actually means some article or thing.
But using this word is treated as third grade or abusive language.
Men always use this word when women are not around .
It's an indecent word ... Either stop him to say that word or better leave him ... I hope you got what I am saying ...
