After spending a decade in the Indian film industry, Bipasha Basu has finally bowed down to the market diktats. The actress, who has always refrained from doing special dance numbers for films where she was not a part of the main cast (barring a few exceptions like No Smoking), is now willing to perform an item number for a film where she is not the leading lady.
“Yes, maybe I need to give special songs and dance numbers a rethink,” the actress said in a rather reluctant tone, suggesting that she is now open to the idea of gyrating to the tune of an item number.
Well, it seems like a good change for the Bipasha, but could this also be because of the popularity that Malaika Arora Khan (Munni), Deepika Padukone (Dum Maaro Dum) and Mallika Sherawat (Razia) have achieved for those special item numbers they did?
Bipasha feels otherwise. “My last few films have all been realistic, due to which I haven’t been a part of any quintessential song and dance numbers. I guess I may take an exception now and give my nod to a song if it is really exclusive to a film, and is cool and catchy,” she says.
