Paparazzi photographers snapped away at the Bollywood star as she made her way to the reception held afterwards across the street at Beverly Hills hotspot Prego. Inside, sources claim that Miss Sherawat was seen mingling with the other stars, and exchanged telephone numbers with Mr. Penn, the two-time Oscar Winner for Best Actor.

Mallika and her Hollywood posse were then spotted leaving the scene to meet "CEO of Hip-Hop" Russell Simmons across town at the famed Chateau Marmont, where Oprah Winfrey, Queen Latifah, Mary J. Blige, producer David Permut, Lionsgate Films studio honcho Mike Pastornek, music mogul Andre Harrell and others gathered in support of the film PRECIOUS after its premiere at the American Film Institute film festival.

At the Chateau, Mallika was seen chatting with Oprah and receiving a hug and blessing from the American icon for the former’s new film venture shooting soon in Los Angeles.
