Forgotten Hottie: Negar Khan

The sultry siren of Norwegian-Iranian descent stormed Bollywood with the scorching music video, 'Chadthi Jawani'. Soon, she became the rage of Bollywood with her debut film, Shaadi Ka Laddoo'. The super model may be a fading memory for Bollywood as she has been missing from the scene since 2005. But, she is very much a part of the European fashion circuit and cinema. Negar Khan was born in the city of Piranshahr in north-western Iran. In 'Double Cross', she played a pole dancer. To prepare for her role, Negar learnt pole-dancing in London. Negar Khan played the female lead in the Italian movie 'Vita smeralda' (2006), in which Luigi Cassandra was her co-star in the lead. Cassandra is her boyfriend now. In 2009, Negar took part in two reality shows--'Iss Jungle se Mujjhe Bachao' (India) 'Paradise Hotel' (Norway). Negar Khan was sent back to Norway by the Indian authorities in February 2005, citing lack of work permit. Negar Khan rose to international attention with her topless pictures in a Norwegian men's magazine. Later, she denied having posed for the shoot and alleged that her photos were manipulated. Negar Khan was married to Sahil Khan, but the marriage was short-lived. During Oslo Fashion Week, the top of Negar's two-piece dress came off. Negar Khan has a bachelor's degree in Marketing and Advertising and a masters in International Business. Negar Khan likes to wear pink clothes and her favourite colour is red. "Sharaab Jo Na Piye", a music video by Arvinder Singh, had a scantily clad Negar Khan gyrating in the witness box in a court room. The video attracted a lot of criticism and was banned later. Negar knows five languages: Persian, Turkish, Norwegian, English and Hindi. Negar appears in a bath room scene in 'Hello Kaun Hai', directed by Rakhi Sawant's brother Rakesh. Negar Khan is very much interested in representing Norway in the Eurovision Song Contest 2010. Negar Khan has been a model for Roberto Cavalli; she is an acclaimed singer as well. Negar Khan says she would like to do positive roles. "If you keep doing the same kind of roles you get type cast and people don't look beyond that. I would like to be offered different roles to at least check out what I am capable of."
