Actress and producer Malaika Arora says she enjoys dancing and her son isn’t bothered by her work in “item numbers”.
“He doesn’t get affected by my songs. He is too tiny and young. If he likes the song, he comes up and says that he liked it.
“For me, personally, I think songs are part of the film and it’s fun to be a part of a song but it also depends on how it’s going to be publicised and picturised. I love it and every time I get the opportunity to be a part of something, I always say yes because I enjoy it,” added Arora, who had her son Arhaan in 2002.
The term item number may be looked at in a derogatory way in show business, but the Chaiyya Chaiyya star says she sees it differently.
“I never look at it that way. Unfortunately, people have made it a derogatory thing. It’s the way it’s been used. I would call it as a special song. I hate the word ‘item’ song. People have made it sound crude and crass, so I would just call it as a special song,” the 39-year-old said.
The performer is one of the judges of reality TV show India’s Got Talent, currently in its sixth season, and she says there is bound to be conflict among the panel.
“We are three different people with three different mind sets, different mentality so, there will be difference of opinion while judging but, at the end of the day, that’s fun. It’s fun when you have difference of opinion,” said Arora, who co-judges the show with filmmaker Karan Johar and actress-politician Kirron Kher.
“It’s been great and fantastic amazing three years of great fun, tears and laughter and great talent. This time also we have lot of new talent on the show. It’s new because we have not seen anything as such in the previous seasons,” she said about the new season of the talent show, which she has been judging since its fourth season.
