Mumaith
Khan
has
been
slowly
losing
the
tag
of
"Item
Girl" with
the
onset
of
her
recent
films.
From
doing
notable
work
that
amounts
to
item
numbers,
the
gutsy
babe
has
gone
onto
get
female
lead
roles
in
films
like
to-be-released
Mangatayaru
Tiffin
Centre,
Maisamma
IPS,
F.M
-
Fun
and
Masti.
Arguably
the
Rakhi
Sawant
of
Tollywood,
she
is
making
the
world
sit
up
and
notice
her
work.
She
made
her
film-acting
debut
in
long
before
her
item
song
in
Munnabhai
MBBS
when
she
was
al
but
17
years
of
age.
Her
item
song
in
the
film
launched
her
to
become
the
most
sought
after
item
girl
in
the
film
industry
nationwide.
Even
regional
film
bosses
audiences
noticed
her,
which
resulted
in
her
getting
offers
to
showcase
her
glamour
in
Tamil,
Telugu
and
Kannada
films.
A
majority
of
her
work
has
come
from
Telugu
movies.
Despite
her
sudden
success,
she
remained
humble
but
maintained
her
sex
appeal.
She
has
graduated
to
becoming
an
actress
with
Don,
Bhukailas,
Operation
Duryodhana
and
Evadaithe
Nakenti
-
movies
in
which
she
has
played
female
lead
roles.
Producers
of
some
of
her
films
had
reportedly
asked
her
to
do
a
Mallika
Sherawat
in
one
of
she
movies
and
she
was
bold
enough
to
say
"Maaf
kar
do
bhaiya,
abhi
to
main
bold
hi
nahin
hoon"
(Pardon
me
brother
but
I
am
not
so
bold).
She
has
also
lit
up
the
international
stage
in
a
video
with
sizzling
in
an
Enrique
Inglesias
video.
Being
from
a
poor
family,
she
had
to
take
up
a
job
with
a
dancing
troupe
for
a
monthly
pay
of
Rs.
1500
per
month.
She
was
the
only
support
for
her
family
of
four
sisters.
One
of
them
-
Zobyn
Khan
-
danced
in
an
item
number
in
Jagadam.
Mumaith
Khan
initially
charged
1.5
lakh
rupees
per
item
song
when
she
started
out.
Now
her
rate
is
15
lakhs
for
an
item
song
and
35
lakhs
for
full-fledged
role.
Well,
rock
on
Mumaith,
we
say.
