Let us tell you that Malini Sharma began her career in the film industry as a model. She was also part of many successful music videos including 'Sawan Mein Lag Gayi Aag', 'Kya Soorat Hai', 'Ranjhar', and 'Kitni Akeli'.

In the year 2002, a horror film was released in the theatres, which created history. The horror film that was released went on to become the third-highest-grosser of that year. We are talking about the film 'Raaz' which was a blockbuster at the box office and, to this date, is considered one of Bollywood's most scary films.

'Raaz' starring Bipasha Basu and Dino Morea was one of the most successful films to release in the year 2002. This film also marked the debut of Malini Sharma who played the role of a 'ghost' in the film. Malini Sharma became so popular after 'Raaz' was successful that she received a lot of film offers but she chose to stay away from the limelight.
