Digital Desk: Actor Kangana Ranaut shared a video of the song Aaiye Meharban, which featured the late Madhubala, and stated that seduction had nothing to do with 'vulgarity and raunchy item numbers.' Kangana re-shared a video originally posted by a fan on Instagram Stories on Monday.
Sharing the clip, Kangana wrote, "Sensuality and seduction have nothing to do with vulgarity and raunchy item numbers... this song has everything yet there is no objectification of the woman and her body parts..."
"Aaiye Meharban" is a song from Shakti Samanta's 1958 crime thriller Howrah Bridge. Apart from Madhubala, the film also stars Ashok Kumar, Om Prakash, and KN Singh.
A video of Kangana performing a song from her 2013 movie, Rajjo, was tweeted by actor Swara Bhasker last year. Kangana, quote-tweeting a news report had written, "Whenever I impose difficult questions on A-listers, all B-listers come like sepoys. Item numbers is essentially a song which isn’t consequential to the plot of the film, uses derogatory language for women, even when I played a nautch girl I made sure it’s not derogatory for women."
Kangana also 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." The incident took place before Kangana's Twitter account was suspended.
Fans will see Kangana next in the period drama Emergency, where she will portray the role of late Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. This is Kangana's first solo-directed movie. In addition to Kangana, the film also stars Anupam Kher, Mahima Chaudhry, Vishak Nair, and Shreyas Talpade. Kangana will also portray Bengali theatre legend Binodini Dasi, also known as Noti Binodini, in Pradeep Sarkar's film.
