A lesser-known Bollywood actress and one of her associates were arrested here Thursday for prostitution.

The Mumbai-based actress, whose identity was not disclosed, had allegedly been operating through a pimp named Asha from Lajpat Nagar and had entertained customers for hefty payments, police claimed.

While the actress allegedly charged Rs.15,000 a customer, her Delhi-based associate Priya allegedly charged Rs.5,000.

Police, after receiving information about the racket, struck a deal through decoy customers and apprehended the two women near Qutub Minar and Mehrauli in south Delhi. The search for Asha is on, officials said.

Interrogation of the actress revealed that she belonged to Mumbai and had appeared in small roles in films like "Pinjar", "Devdas", "Parwane" and "Dil Ka Rishta", officials said.

She worked in the TV serial "Yakeen" made for Doordarshan and also appeared in music videos.

A college dropout, the starlet belongs to Ghatkopar in Mumbai. She told the cops that she came to Delhi frequently for this purpose as, unlike in Mumbai, nobody knew her here. Her father died several years ago and she lived in Mumbai with her mother who works with a private firm.

Priya is a native of Chattisgarh and has been in Delhi for the past year, police said.

A case under the Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act was filed against the two women.
