Negar Khan is a little different from the Bollywood actresses I have done entries on.
She was born in Iran, grew up in Norway and went to school in Australia and in 2005, she was deported from India for not having a work permit.
She rose to fame as an "Item Number" girl. An Item Number is a dance sequence that appears in a film that basically has nothing to do with the plot.
At one time "item girls" were frowned on, but several actresses in Bollywood have done them including stars like Madhuri Dixit, Karisma Kapoor, Tabu, Shilpa Shetty and Aishwarya Rai.
Negar recently turned up on 2009's Iss Jungle Se Mujhe Bachao (the Indian version of the British reality game show I'm a Celebrity…Get Me out of Here!) as a contestant.
She came in on Day 13, and was eliminated on Day 26.
Negar has done ten films so far, her latest being Jaanleva.
She also appeared in the Italian film, Vita smeralda.

Dia Mirza
Dia Mirza
Dia Mirza was born on December 9, 1981 in Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India.
She is a former model and Bollywood actress.
Like a lot of other Bollywood actresses, Dia has ties to the Femina Miss India pageant. In 2000 she came in fifth place and became Miss India Asia-Pacific, coming in behind Gayatri Joshi (4th place, Miss India International), Lara Dutta (2nd place, Miss India Universe) and Priyanka Chopra (1st place, Miss India World).
For some reason there was no 3rd place Miss India Earth that year.
Anyway, Dia went on from there to debut in 2001's Rehnaa Hai Terre Dil Mein (a remake of the Tamil film Minnale).
When she first started acting, Dia was pegged as an Aishwarya Rai look-alike.
Which I would think would be a huge compliment.
She has gone on to appear in almost forty movies, her latest being Shoebite, set for release in 2010.
