‘Bold’ is the
word for her. Since Bips has come into Bollywood, she has only
shocked audiences in a breathtaking way, that is. And this item
number Beedi Jalaile is no different.
She teases you with her
enticing ‘naaach’ and leaves one wanting for more.
It was
largely due to her dance coupled with the music that got this number
to the top of the charts all over the nation.
Mumait
Khan in Munnabahi Mbbs
When she stood on the hospital
bed looking down at Jimmy Shergill in the song Dekh Le, she had the
entire nation staring out at her open mouthed.
Mumait Khan
made sure she had every director’s attention in Bollywood with this
song from Munnabhai MBBS. Her smooth dance steps and her daring
attitude was what made her a favourite.
Also the nose ring was
an added look to the ‘killer’ attitude that she portrayed
onscreen. With just one song, she made a lasting impression of
sorts.
Lara Dutta in Khakee
Another
Miss Universe who dared to do an item number was Lara Dutta.
Her
song Aisaa Jadoo Dala Re from the movie Khakee did create magic and
left fans spellbound.
She sure had a lot of josh while dancing
for this number and it comes across in her energy that can be seen
onscreen.
Shah Rukh Khan in Kaal
Item
numbers in Bollywood were the domain of actresses exclusively until
the Badshah took it upon himself to break this notion.
He took
a leaf out of AB Jr’s book and was charting alien territory but he
did it with full gusto in the song Dhamaal for the movie Kaal.
His
hot looking bod gyrating against Malaika’s sensuous body was enough
to get women drooling over him. Add to this his colourful locks and
his boundless energy and no one could argue that he was indeed the
next ‘item’ in tinsel town.
Yana Gupta in
Dum
This hot chick who landed in tinsel ville from as
far as Czechoslovakia, hardly knew Hindi when she titillated
audiences from all streams and classes with Babbuji Dheere Chalo in E
Niwas’s Dum.
Yana’s ass and hip shaking movements had
everyone from Jammu to Kanyakumari glued to the screens.
And
it also got her more roles in movies where she had a chance to act
apart from playing to the galleries.
Sameera Reddy
in Musafir
Sizzling Sameera stole the thunder with
this hot hot hot number Rabba Rabba in her very first film Musafir.
Her skimpy attire only added to her appeal and when she moved her
body the way she did, no one moved their eyes off her, literally.
Sameera’s role in the movie may not have got noticed. Her acting
skills too needed to be honed, yet there was no disputing her skills
on the dance floor. After this pulsating song, she sure had directors
lined up before her offering all possible ‘item numbers’.
Koena
Mitra in Musafir
Another Bong Babe who danced her way
to fame with an item song from the movie Musafir was Koena Mitra with
‘Saaki Saaki’.
She even had Sanju baba for company and an
Arabic look to the song.
Her hourglass figure was the only
thing that was noticed other than her scintillating dance
steps.
Aishwarya Rai in Shakti
We
never expected Miss World (now Mrs. Bachchan) to do a complete full
fledged item number but then that is what we got to see in Ash’s
Ishq Kameena.. In Shakti.
Aishwarya seemed like an enchanting
temptress and we were pleasantly surprised with her swift dance
movements that left us exasperated.
Her naughtiness in the
eyes and sexiness in her hips had us desiring for more from this
damsel.
Isha Koppikar in Company
Her
smashing looks and superb dancing got her noticed in Ram Gopal
Verma’s Company. Isha Koppikar’s alluring expressions in this
rainy song Khallas left audiences gasping for more and more.
She
danced to a couple of more item songs (Ishq Samandar from Kaante)
before she went on to take up more meaningful roles.
But
ardent fans still remember Isha for that one song more than anything
else.
Shamita Shetty in Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi
Hai
She was looking for a way to make her presence
felt in tinsel ville, and she got the opportunity with Sharara
Sharara in Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai. And did she make it count.
Shamita was so comfortable with exposing her good looks and talent
that she literally blew us off with her performance. And of course,
she got offers for more item numbers as well.
