Controversies

Khan allegedly posed topless for the Norwegian men's magazine VI Menn in 2004.[8] She denied this and said that the pictures had been graphically manipulated.

She was deported from India to Norway in February 2005 for allegedly providing false documents to procure her work visa.[9] She had been working while on tourist visa. However, she and Sahil Khan claimed that she had married him and hence was eligible to become an Indian national.[10]
