Kashmira Shah
Her first item number was ‘Ban than chali’ from the movie ‘Kurukshetra’. Next was ‘Dil ko’ from ‘Murder’, afteer this recognition she was able to grab alot of side roles in Bollywood. But these days she is not seen anywhere.
Rakhi Sawant
Rakhi Sawant worked in Joru Ka Ghulam, Jis Desh Mein Ganga Rehta Hain and Yeh Raaste Hain Pyaar Ke to gain popularity. But it was only after ‘Mohabbat Hai Mirchi’ from ‘Chura Liya Hai Tumne’ that she gained popularity.
Yana Gupta
Her instant success after the item number ‘Babuji zara dheere chalo’ from the movie Dum gained her a lot of popularity in India. She has also been a brand ambassador of Lakme for a very long period of time. Last she was seen performing in dance reality show, Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa. Her fans would still love to see her dancing skills on-screen.
Gauhar Khan
Being a model and then television star, didn’t give her any recognition but she gained popularity after her item numbers in Once upon a time in Mumbai and Ishaqzaade. She was last seen in reality show Bigg Boss.
Sambhavna Seth
Her daring attitude in Bigg Boss was liked by many and so were her ranchy item numbers in Bhojpuri films. She is currently seen in &Tv’s show. Someday we would still want to see her sizzle for Bollywood.
Mumait Khan
She was seen doing an item song in Munnabhai MBBS. Though she didn’t gain any recognition in Bollywood after that but her curvy figure surely got her many roles as lead actress in Telugu film industry. We would still love to see her do an item number in Bollywood.
Koena Mitra
Her gorgeous looks and her ‘Gladrags’ title gave her an entry pass to Bollywood. She is best remembered for item song ‘Saaki’ from Musafir. After that only her terrible nose job made into news not her.
Now a days, item songs are in public demand, without an item number film can’t hit the door of success. Earlier, whenever someone said item girl ‘Helen’ was the first name that arrived to your mind. She started the journey of item girls in 1958. These days item girls like Yana Gupta, Kashmira Shah, Koena Mitra etc were more popular than leading actresses, but these days top Bollywood actresses have replaced by the classic item girls. Lets have a look at the itme girls who sizzled on-screen but now are not seen anymore.
