Mali gave birth to a baby girl, on 1 May 2012, at the Breach Candy hospital in Mumbai and refuses to share her personal life in public.

==Career==
Mali made her acting debut in the [[1998 in film|1998 film]] ''[[Dhoondte Reh Jaaoge! (1998 film)|Dhoondte Reh Jaaoge!]]''. The film, however, flopped. The next year was released her film ''[[Prema Katha]]'' directed by [[Ram Gopal Varma]]. Afterwards, Varma became Mali's frequent collaborator appearing in several of his films such as ''[[Mast (film)|Mast]]'' (1999), ''[[Road (2002 film)|Road]]'' (2002), ''[[Company (2002 film)|Company]]'' (2002) and ''[[Darna Mana Hai]]'' (2003). Although Mali's performances were praised by critics, most of them did not do well at the box office. Mali paid her tribute to [[Madhuri Dixit]] by playing an aspiring actress inspired by Madhuri in the 2003 film ''[[Main Madhuri Dixit Banna Chahti Hoon]]''. She received a [[Filmfare]] nomination for the Best Actress in a Supporting Role for ''[[Company (2002 film)|Company]]''.<ref>{{cite web |author=Kunal M Shah, TNN |url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2010-07-24/news-interviews/28282907_1_antara-mali-brand-new-avatar-film |title=Antara Mali goes bald |date=2010-07-24 |accessdate=2013-05-13 |archive-date=27 May 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120527143525/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2010-07-24/news-interviews/28282907_1_antara-mali-brand-new-avatar-film |work=[[The Times of India]] |url-status=dead }}</ref>

She discontinued her acting career in 2005 after her last film ''[[Mr Ya Miss]]'' (which she had also written and directed) was received poorly and critically panned.

In 2010, she made a comeback to films with ''[[...And Once Again]]'' directed by [[Amol Palekar]] and since then has once again not been active in films.
