Early life

Career

Khan has acted primarily in Telugu, Hindi, Tamil and Kannada language films. Besides movies, she has contested in the reality shows like Jhalak Dikhla Jaa 6 and first season of Bigg Boss Telugu.[2][4] As of now, she has been a part of nearly 100 movies. Her call to fame was her cameo performance in the Sanjay Dutt starrer hit Munna Bhai MBBS. Her career was rocked by a controversy of drug allegations in which many south movie stars were also questioned. Her relationship with a prime suspect Calvin Mascerehas was also at the centre of investigation.[5] Because of those allegations, in July 2018, Mumaith was evicted mid way from Big Boss Telugu season 1 for questioning by the special investigation team in relation to a drug racket along with 20 other prominent celebrities from South film industry. During the investigation she volunteered to giver her hair, fluid and nail samples which the SIT refused.[6] Later, she returned to the reality show after the interrogation.[7]

In December 2016, Mumaith fell down from the bed at her apartment and hit her head which led to an internal injury damaging her nerves in the brain. She was in coma for 15 days and the doctors said it would take her two years to recover after treatment and surgery. Subsequently, this led to few neurological health problems like seizures and has been on medication for last two years. This also led to her gaining weight as her doctor advised her to keep away from the gym. Since then she has been trying to get back in shape gradually and is optimistic of making a comeback.[8]

Khan made her comeback with Telugu horror film Heza.[9]
