Emraan Hashmi-Mallika Sherawat just reunited and their cordial interaction will take every Murder fan on a nostalgic trip – Watch

Among the many unexpected things 2024 brings, here comes another delightful collab. Emraan Hashmi and Mallika Sherawat, who were the IT couple in 2000s (their film Murder released in 2004 and the steamy scenes have been a big hit since), have reunited and it is the best thing on the internet today. Emraan and Mallika shared a cordial bond when papped at an event. They posed together and their chemistry is sure to make every Murder fan (or Emraan, or Mallika fan, which is basically everyone) nostalgic.

The reunion

Emraan was posing for the paps, when he noticed Mallika Sherawat at a wedding reception being held in Mumbai. The actor, last seen in Tiger 3 opposite Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif, went and greeted his Murder co-star with a warm hug. Expressing delight, Mallika hugged him back and the two caught up on life. This time, instead of posing alone, Emraan asked Mallika to join him. He paved the way for her and joined Mallika for the photos and videos that followed. Both the actors flashed a wide smile for the cameras and they were an absolute delight at the event. Some time after, Emraan asked the paps to click Mallika’s solo photos.

Emraan-Mallika, the IT couple of 2004

When Murder released in 2004, Emraan and Mallika’s chemistry was the most-spoken-of. Their songs from the film, especially Bheege Honth, are still among the most loved among the Hindi-speaking public.

Unfortunately, they worked in only one movie and then went their different ways in movie career. Emraan continued working in movies which had steamy scenes but eventually (although slowly) moved out of that zone. Meanwhile, Mallika (real name Reema Lamba) left Bollywood altogether for a career in the US. Her last appearance was at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival, where she locked herself in a cage for 12 hours to send a message on behalf of Free A Girl India NGO.
