Malaika Arora on Special Songs.Malaika Arora redefined item songs on the big screen giving sleepless nights to all with her beauty and oomph factor.
Speaking to scribes, Malaika said "Earlier, they were mostly about glamour and spectacle, often detached from a woman’s individuality. Today, filmmakers are more conscious they integrate these numbers into stories with stronger character context. It’s less about being provocative and more about performance and presence. I see it as an evolution where women can own their space."
She added "Yes, item songs have often been linked to the male gaze, but I’ve always looked at them differently. For me, dance is about confidence and expression. When I perform, I focus on enjoying the moment and bringing my own energy to it. As long as I feel comfortable and in control, that’s what matters most. It’s about celebrating the art and having fun with it rather than overthinking the labels."
She continued "age doesn’t define your capacity to perform or inspire." and pointed "showing that you can stay relevant and passionate at any stage".
