Trust Mallika Sherawat to make a mountain out of a molehill. A bit appearance in a little-known Jackie Chan film called The Myth Mallika ensured that everyone was talking about it. Mallika did almost nothing noteworthy ever since, though occasionally she's managed to make a little noise here and there to ensure people don't forget her.

Ayesha Dharker's many crossover ventures may not have even seen the light of the day in India. But here's someone who has managed to make her presence felt in the West. And though she doesn't necessarily figure in the 'top bracket' and occasionaly does some silly films like Outsourced, we can't help appreciate her screen presence and persistence.

Like it or not, there is much more to Lisa Ray than the red swimsuit on the Gladrags cover. Possibly because of her lack of knowledge in Hindi, Lisa never really managed to carve a niche in Bollywood. But with at least half a dozen projects in the west of some substance Lisa Ray certainly deserves an applause if not a standing ovation.

Persis Khambatta was westward bound long before any of these women were even born. Back in 1965 she won the Miss India crown and went on to carve her niche in the West. Her best-known role in an English language film was that of Lieutenant Ilia, in Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Said to have dated the likes of Sly Stallone and Henry Kissinger among others Persis was also the first Indian citizen to present an Academy Award back in 1979!
