Sushmita Sen says she’s proud of her ‘item numbers’

Actress Sushmita Sen has uncovered that she is proud of the ‘item numbers’ that she has featured in over the years in her career. In a recent interview, Sushmita has said that prior it was frowned upon if a lead male or female actor featured in thing songs in films. Nonetheless, she uncovered that she forever was prepared to be a part of those songs.

In an interview with Film Companion, Sushmita said, “I’m very proud of the fact that at a time when they would say ‘Item number? Main lead actors, actress item number nhi karte hai, reputation kharab hojayega (Main lead actors don’t do item numbers, it’s bad for their reputation). And I’m like (raises her hand) mujhe lelo (take me). I’ve had two managers leave me because they were like at that point ‘She’s crazy, she’s saying yes to doing an item song, and you were trying to cast her in a full-fledged film’. Music is music and it will survive even a bad film.”

She added, “Back in the day, if you said no to your manager about something or you said, ‘You think it’s a bad idea but I still want to do it’. They would be like, ‘We have no importance. We are in the industry for so many years we know how to do this’. Because you’re 22 years old yourself, all the more people start taking into the factor that she’s just not listening we’ve been here for so long.”
