  "account": "Indian actress Mallika Sherawat made headlines recently by claiming that Hollywood star Tom Cruise has a crush on her. She is set to make a comeback to Indian television with The Traitors 2. In a viral clip from a reality show, comedian Kullu asked her about having a crush on someone. Mallika confidently replied, \"Everybody has a crush on me.\" She then added, \"Tom Cruise is crushing on me lately. I am not lying. If I had my phone with me, I would have shown you the videos.\" When asked what videos he was sending her, she clarified, \"No, not snaps. I would show you videos of us partying together.\" This statement has left viewers surprised and speculating about the nature of her relationship with Cruise. The Traitors 2, featuring contestants such as Rhea Chakraborty, Munawar Faruqui, Shweta Tripathi, Dalip Tahil, and Mallika Sherawat, is set to stream on August 13. Mallika has also been reported as the highest-paid contestant on the show, a claim she confirmed in an interview with ETimes.",
