They came, they jiggled their unmentionalables, yet they failed to conquer their space in Bollywood. With more and more mainstream actresses opting to shake their booty to item numbers in Hindi film, looks like some of our popular item girls have simply vamoosed into thin air.

Mallika Haydon
Sister of Indo-Australian model Lisa Haydon, Mallika made her debut with a bang in the Pyaar Ki Pungi song opposite Saif Ali Khan in Agent Vinod. It became a thumping chartbuster apart from another item song she did for the same film. She soon grabbed headlines for allegedly dating Shahid Kapoor but has since then been missing in action.
