All the right moves...

Sheila Ki Jawani from Farah Khan’s third directorial venture Tees Maar Khan has become quite popular even before the song was officially released.

Its spicy lyrics and Katrina’s sexy moves have struck a chord with the audience and the electrifying song is being frequently played on radio stations and television channels. The lyrics in these item numbers are catchy — and they don’t always make sense even if they are provocative.

“Lyrics are lyrics. No one should take them literally and seriously and analyse them in songs like these. If you believe you are doing something clean and keeping yourself in the boundaries of dignity, then the lyrics and mood of the song don't matter and you feel comfortable while performing it,” Katrina said.

“I enjoy my dancing. I don’t know how technically good I am, but I like doing it and I enjoyed it,” she added.

 Item numbers are Hindi films’ way of spicing up a film. Among mainstream actresses, it was Bollywood’s dancing queen Madhuri Dixit who became perhaps the first to set the temperatures soaring with the sensuous item number Choli ke peeche kya hai.

Later from Shilpa Shetty to Aishwarya Rai and from Kareena Kapoor to Priyanka Chopra, everyone followed suit.
