Mallika Sherawat who fought off masked attackers aimed at robbing her in Paris has vowed that she will not let it change her life.

Mallika Sherawat was attacked by three men who sprayed teargas at her and her French boyfriend, Cyrille Auxenfans, in the hallway of his apartment building as they arrived home.

They pushed Sherawat to the ground, then started hitting Auxenfans and tried to grab her bag.
"He was hurt a little bit. We both fought them off. I'm not going to let this change my life at all," she told CNN, describing herself as "a strong woman."

"I fought them off. They are strong men but I didn't just cower down," she said.

The attackers, who wore scarves over their faces, fled empty-handed from the building in rue de la Faisanderie, an upscale neighborhood in the 16th arrondissement.

Sherawat added, ""It was extremely traumatic. No one should be made to suffer the insecurity of having their home broken into or the physical and mental effects of such an attack."
