Calling
Songs
'Item
Numbers'
Doesn't
Give
Out
Good
Vibes
"Why
do
people
call
these
songs
item
numbers
is
something
I
really
don't
understand.
It
does
not
give
out
good
vibes," Kriti
was
quoted
as
saying
by
Hindustan
Times.
Kriti
Wants
People
To
Be
A
Little
Respectful
She
further
said,
"They
are
simply
dance
numbers
that
add
to
the
entertainment
factor
of
the
film.
And
these
songs
are
loved
by
people.
So
why
not
be
little
respectful
to
those
who
are
making
these
songs
and
also
those
who
are
a
part
of
it."
Male
Actors
Never
Have
To
Face
The
Brunt
Of
Such
Tags,
Questions
Kriti
"When
Aamir
[Khan]
sir,
Shah
Rukh
[Khan]
sir
or
Salman
[Khan]
sir
perform
a
special
songs
in
films
they
are
never
called
item
numbers.
Then
why
changes
when
a
female
actor
does
the
same?
This
mindset
need
to
change."
Kriti
Says
Such
Tags
Are
Necessary
&
A
Bit
Hurtful
"I
was
studying
to
be
an
engineer
when
modelling
and
acting
happened.
I
realised
midway
that's
my
calling
because
I
have
always
been
creative.
Also,
dancing
is
something
that
I
love.
So
be
it
any
dance
numbers,
they're
all
really
close
to
my
heart,
which
is
why
this
‘item
song' tag
is
a
little
upsetting.
In
the
long
run,
I
would
like
to
do
a
dance
film
as
well,"
she
further
added.
