Patriotic Mallika
In the month of August every year, an India Day Parade is held in USA prior to the Independence Day celebrations in India on August 15.
This year, Mallika Sherawat, who has made US her second home, was the Grand Marshall of the India Day Parade held in New Jersey. The lady, otherwise known for her provocative dressing, was modestly clad in cream-coloured salwar-kameez and a tricolour sash.
The one-mile parade turned out to be quite a crowd puller. Hundreds of Indian Americans and even American locals joined in. With Mallika at the helm, the parade became the largest India Day Parade yet.
