Bollywood is known for its sizzling dance performances but many actresses who have given some popular item numbers have termed ‘item’ word derogatory.
They have rather wished and suggested that these performances should be called a special number or a dance number.
Now, Rakhi Sawant, one of the most popular ‘item girls’ in the industry has shared her take on the same.
Rakhi Sawant, who is soon going to play a Tawaif in one of her upcoming web series, told Spotboye, “Definitely ‘item girl’ ko item girl nahi bualana chahiye ‘item bomb’ bulana chahiye. Because it is a special song. Aur ye naam hamne nahi rakha hai, logon ne hi hame diya hai. When the heroine of the film can’t impress the audience with her performance, such item numbers come as a savior for the film. I feel these songs are really important and I love to do ‘item songs’. In fact, I feel proud of being called an ‘item girl’. I came here to become a heroine but that didn’t happen and I became an ‘item girl’ which has helped me till here.”
Rakhi went on saying, “By doing item numbers, I was able to take care of my entire family.”The actress will next be seen in her digital series, ‘Tawaif- Bazaar E Husn’.
“I signed the show before Bigg Boss 14 and am currently shooting for it. It’s a story which revolves around three girls and I am one of them. The character is really very nice and I am playing one of the Tawaif,” Rakhi continued.
Recently, in an interview with Spotboye, actress Elli AvRam also raised her concern with the term ‘item girl’.
