She made her point loud and clear...

Shabana Azmi has always been vocal about her opinions. She never shied away from putting her point across and she continues to keep up with this inspiring quality. At a recent panel discussion on the occasion of International Women's Day, she made a remark about item numbers in Bollywood. And it concerns one of Kareena Kapoors prized on screen appearance -Fevicol se from Dabangg 2.

While talking about the lyrics of the song, Azmi said, "I have reservations against item numbers. That's because I think if a top most heroine is singing I am tandoori murgi, swallow me down with alcohol, it's not a laughing matter. It's a serious issue. One person wrote the song, a few more got it made but it was watched by crores of people. They also saw their 6-year old kids singing and dancing on it. Don't you have a responsibility? It's not fun."
The actress seemed pretty outraged by the usage of such kind of words in Hindi songs. She even explains why actresses shouldn't do it just to flaunt their sensuality. "There is a thinking, why can't we celebrate our sensuality. Of course, there is nothing wrong with that. But are you celebrating sensuality? No. You are commodifying yourselves, objectifying yourselves. That's because it all depends on how the camera is capturing you!"

I agree.. the item songs have the worst lyrics possible and it is kind of sad that people use them in weddings without even thinking what they actually mean🥱

I agree with her...that song had shitty double meaning lyrics with cheap choreography. Also the thing she said about how in item numbers a woman's no is always an implied yes, bang on! Its not about being narrow minded. No one really has issues with party songs or dance numbers irrespective of what the heroine is wearing. But when you deliberately try to imply something that objectifies women (like the infamous zandu balm song or many more like that), its v bad.

Shouldn't she blame the lyricists more than the actresses?

A sensual item number is something like the one Aishwarya did in Bunty Aur Bubbly - 'Kajra re'...She is very sensual but not cheap looking in that song...
All the item numbers that Kareena has done lately both the songs and her vulgar body moves, cheapness!🤢

The actresses are the ones that are bringing them to the public and at least the A listers should put their foot down...that's what Shabana is trying to say!

Finally someone is talking sense, completely agree! Item numbers are the stupidest thing to ever trend in BW. Right from munni badnaam hui darling tere liye to Fevicol to fashion khatam mujhe pe. They all are so sleazy, and downgrade the whole film.
Funny how roughly 10 years ago mainstream/A List actresses would never in a million years do an item number, they would think it was below them and only certain people would them - item girls. Oh my how things change!

Forget item numbers, even some party numbers have the most questionable lyrics. Just to make a catchy tune they make the stupidest songs.

if this song was done by kim sharma..it might not have been that famous..an A list top actress reaches out to far more eye balls..it is their responsibility to think over it..when she can get actors kicked out of her movie heroine..then she can get a line changed too..no biggie

if they feel they aren't responsible then stop preaching over shit and empowering women
