zeroing structure of char pointers

I was just wondering, if I have:

struct my_struct {
    char *str1;
    char *str2;
};

and then elsewhere do:

struct my_struct *ms = calloc(1, sizeof(struct my_struct));

Would that be the same as doing:

struct my_struct *ms = malloc(sizeof(struct my_struct));
ms->str1 = ms->str2 = NULL;

Thanks,
Aaron
