Malaika says B’wood’s dance numbers have come a long way

Malaika Arora model and actress in her own right says Bollywood’s dance numbers have “come a long way,” evolving from pure spectacle to more meaningful storytelling, according to actor and dancer Malaika Arora. In an interview the actress and judge in realty shows observed that special songs today are “less about being provocative and more about performance and presence.” “Earlier, they were mostly about glamour and spectacle, often detached from a woman’s individuality,” she said, adding that filmmakers are now “more conscious” about context and representation.

Acknowledging that item songs have often been linked to the male gaze, she explained, She has always looked at them differently and for her, dance is about confidence, expression, and celebrating the art.”
