Mumait Khan is the uncrowned Bollywood Dancing Queen. It is believed that her item numbers are more popular than the movies themselves. Despite her conservative Muslim background Mumait had to come out into the open and hit the limelight. She suffered extreme poverty and deprivation during childhood. “None of our relatives helped us,” Mumait Khan admits candidly. “On Id we would stand in our courtyard, thinking, Koi to Idi dega, but it never happened.” But all was not lost to this gutsy gal.
She is more of a family girl, her “Daddy’s Angel” and “Mommy’s Boy”. When her father lost his job, the burden of running the family fell on her tender shoulders. At the age of fifteen Mumait Khan joined choreographer Remo's troupe as a background dancer for a paltry sum of Rs.1500, which was indeed a precious sum to her family in their difficult times?
When Mumait Khan was seventeen, luck smiled on her. She beat dozens of models and floored the casting couch of "Munnabhai MBBS"
