Mallika Sherawat tweeted this picture of her dancing with Antiono Banderas. (TWITTER)
India actor Mallika Sherawat has once again hogged the limelight for the wrong reasons.
Reports have been doing the rounds about her 'home-wrecking' Antonio Banderas and Melanie Griffith's 18-year-old marriage.
Sherawat’s alleged best friend and Los Angeles stylist Ivan Bitton has opened up about the duo's 'intense' connection and has said that their controversial dance floor encounter two years ago was only the beginning.
The actor was also 'caught' dancing intimately with Spanish heartthrob Antonio at a party in 2012.
The picture dropped in reporters’ mailbox on May 25, 2012.
And that image has returned to haunt Mallika as the actor-director-producer's marriage has ended with talks of a `flirtation' with the Indian actress.
Mallika's Los Angeles stylist Ivan Bitton, who recorded a video of the couple's dirty dancing at Cannes, told RadarOnline, an American entertainment website, that Banderas "had a lot of public affection with Mallika".
The video was later leaked online. Bitton however, denies leaking the video.
“I remember when they danced and they had a lot of PDA, he had a lot of public affection with Mallika,” Bitton was quoted by Radar Online as saying.
Shortly after the video of Banderas and Sherawat went public, Griffith distanced herself from Banderes.
According to Bitton, Banderas later told Sherawat that the video was to blame.
“He was really mad about the video,” Bitton, who met the actor at Cannes this year, said.
“He specifically said that after that video, this is when everything started to go down.. It specifically started to cause problems with his wife.”
Mallika meanwhile took on Twitter to say, "Leave me alone" and then in a statement to E! News, a leading entertainment portal and channel based in LA, she clarified, "Antonio Banderas is a wonderful man, a great dancer and an acquaintance of mine. I did not go on any vacation with him, and I'm sorry he's going through a divorce."
