Why Mallika Sherawat is talking about a White House Christmas dinner

Mallika Sherawat posted the images on Friday and gave a short caption about how she felt “grateful”. Her posts included stills near the entrance and outside the building. She also uploaded a clip of Trump speaking at the dinner.

Her dress drew attention before anything else. A satin slip dress, small handbag, and a fur jacket resting over her shoulders. The tone online was a mix of praise and curiosity. Some asked how she reached that room. One user wrote a straight question: how did she get invited. No answer from Sherawat yet on that point.

She has attended US-based events in the past. She has lived between India and Los Angeles for several years and has links to industry and diplomatic circles. Meetings with former president Barack Obama in California more than a decade ago were noted on her social media platforms at the time.

What Mallika Sherawat said about being invited by Donald Trump

Mallika Sherawat repeated one phrase across her posts: surreal. She placed it in the caption, then in hashtags. The event itself is a formal White House dinner marking the festive week. Mallika Sherawat posted the official invitation card showing the date and venue.
