Malaika Arora in Munni Badnaam Hui
New Delhi:
While Malaika has, over the years, impressed fans with her foot-tapping item numbers, there's been a section of the audience who has trolled her too. She appeared in two major item songs last year - Yo Yo Honey Singh's Chillgum, and Poison Baby from the Aditya Sarpotdar film Thamma. Malaika opened up about feeling "empowered" by them.
What's Happening
- On The Namrata Zakaria Show on YouTube, Malaika opened up about why she has no problem owning this "image" of hers.
- She said, "Why not? Why do I need to tone it down or be apologetic about it? I mean, you get trolled for things, and many people say different things - but I don't understand what the big deal is. Dance is an expression, enjoyed in its true glory and its true form. I feel truly blessed that I am able to do all this at 52; I must be doing something right."
- She continued, "It is very, very empowering. It makes me feel amazing. As I have said before, I think that if women out there take it as an example or view it as something empowering or something for them that makes them feel good, then it's a job well done."
