Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut shared a video. She shared a clip of the song Aaiye Meharban. It features late actor Madhubala. Kangana said that the ‘vulgarity and raunchy item numbers’ has nothing to do with seduction. Taking to Instagram Stories on Monday, Kangana re-shared a clip posted by a fan account.
Kangana wrote, “Sensuality and seduction has nothing to do with vulgarity and raunchy item numbers… this song has everything yet there is no objectification of woman and her body parts…”
The song Aaiye Meharban is from the 1958 film Howrah Bridge. It is a crime thriller directed by Shakti Samanta. Apart from Madhubala, the film stars Ashok Kumar, Om Prakash and KN Singh.
Last year, actor Swara Bhasker tweeted a video of Kangana performing a song from her 2013 film, Rajjo. Kangana quote-tweeted a piece of news. She wrote, “Whenever I impose difficult questions on A-listers all B listers come like sepoys, item numbers are essentially a song which isn’t consequential to the plot of the film, uses derogatory language for woman, even when I played a nautch girl I made sure it’s not derogatory for a woman.”
She further tweeted, “These B grades won’t understand but I said no to item songs of Sanjay Bhansali and Farah Khan also, which made few A-listers overnight sensations, I sacrificed a lot to be who I am today, back off B grade hyenas if these directors offer you even a passing you will go crawling.”
Fans will next see Kangana in the period drama Emergency. She will be seen playing the role of the late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The film marks Kangana’s solo-directorial debut.
