Nisha Kothari
Priyanka Kothari, popularly known as Nisha, was an actress we just couldn’t get enough of. She started out young by acting in various TV commercials and got her big break in a Tamil movie. She made her Bollywood debut with Sarkar and also appeared in RGV’s James which turned her into a sex symbol overnight. She has been RGV’s favourite over the years and was seen in many of his movies. However, eventually she disappeared from Bollywood. Now she can be seen acting in various Tamil, Telugu and Kannada movies.
Bhumika Chawla
The lead actress of 2003 hit romance, Tere Naam, Bhumika is nothing short of a wonder woman! Even though we haven’t seen much of her in Bollywood lately, she has done over 30 movies in a span of 15 years. She has starred in Tamil, Telugu, Punjabi, Malayalam, Bhojpuri and Hindi movies and her last Bollywood film was Gandhi, My Father in 2007. The actress is now happily married with a 2 year old son and she is still doing movies. Bhumika made a comeback in Bollywood after 9 long years with M. S. Dhoni: The Untold Story.
Kim Sharma
We remember Kim Sharma from Mohabbatein. She was instantly added to our list of favourites with her gorgeous looks and a girl-next-door image. However, Mohabbatein seemed to be it for this actress, because after that, her career graph just fell down. A few years ago she was also in the news for dating Yuvraj Singh. After the relationship hit the rocks, she totally disappeared. She was married to an NRI businessman, Ali Punjani in Kenya until early this year, when rumours of them splitting hit our timelines. The actress was apparently left "penniless", but she brushed those rumours aside with a series of tweets. As of now, we're not quite sure of her status.
Rimi Sen
Sen created a Hungama in Bollywood with her brilliant acting skills and good looks. But as time passed by, she slowly started fading away. Her last Bollywood movie was Shagrid in 2011 which we don’t even remember. She appeared in Bigg Boss season 9 which was a major comeback for her in the industry. The actress has revealed that she is on her way to becoming a director and would also like to participate in an adventure reality show. Well, we are certainly looking forward to see what this aspiring director has in store for us.
Negar Khan
Known for her role in the movie Rudraaksh and Shaadi Ke Laddoo, this Norwegian actress stirred up Bollywood with her hotness. But in 2005 she was deported back to Norway for providing false documents to procure her work visa. However, she returned and worked in a few more movies and TV shows before disappearing from Bollywod again.
Celina Jaitley
The actress shot to fame with No Entry and has done many great movies in her career. The 2011 movie Thank You was her second last Bollywood movie after which she married hotelier, Peter Haag. Now she is happily married, was pregnant with twins, but unfortunately lost one of her babies in childbirth.
Koena Mitra
This Bengali beauty first appeared in RGV’s Road and we were so smitten with her! She was also part of commercially successful movies like Apna Sapna Money Money and Ek Khilaadi Ek Haseena. All was going well until Mitra underwent a nose job that completely ruined her face and her career. In 2011, the actress landed a role in Michael Herchel’s movie, The Story of Naomi. As of the now, the actress is still scouting for work and we don’t know when / if we’ll see her on the big screen.
This blast from the past has brought a wave of nostalgia over us. How we wish we could watch these actresses on the big screen as often as we did back then!
