Career
Actress and model
Lie started out as a pornographic actress. She starred in 8 adult movies produced summer 2002. When she competed in the finals of the Miss Norway pageant in 2004, she was disqualified from the contest when it was discovered that she had starred in adult films; candidates in the pageant must not have been pictured naked in any commercial production or publication. Her adult film career has made her the target of much criticism, but she used the all the media attention to create a living for herself as a TV personality in Norway.
In a July 2010 interview, Lie stated that she "sorely regrets" having engaged in pornographic acting. She explained that the choice was made while she was going through a difficult time of her life, and she wished she could "erase that from [her] past". She also denied that she was banned from entering her native Iran because of her pornographic background.
Her plans for 2006 included the promotion of her hand-picked team of models, called Team Aylar. The members of Team Aylar originally included Elita Löfblad, Charlotte Fredriksen, Linni Meister, Cathrine Aschim, and Lisa Marie Winther.
Appearances
In 2010, Lie participated in the 6th season of Skal vi danse?, the Norwegian version of the British dance contest series Strictly Come Dancing.
She was signed to the record label Hard2Beat, after which she released the single "Some People", which features Ocean Drive and DJ Oriska.
Personal life
She started dating Dr. Ozerk Ozan in 2007.
