It goes without saying that Katrina Kaif has some really sizzling dance moves! She has been a part of several blockbuster dance numbers where she has wowed fans with her dancing skills. One of her blockbuster songs, Chikni Chameli from Hrithik Roshan’s Agneepath, has often been accused of objectifying women. However, the actress, in an earlier interview, clarified that she never saw it that way.
In an interview with DNA back in 2018, Katrina Kaif admitted that she never felt objectified while shooting for popular dance numbers. She stated that it all depends on the person performing the song. She explained her point by citing examples of Madonna and Beyoncé, who perform in swimsuits on stage but, she believed, wouldn’t feel objectified.
“It’s all about how you feel while you are performing that song. I can tell you, I never felt objectified in Chikni Chameli. I enjoyed that song. I enjoyed the dance, I enjoyed what I was doing. I didn’t even for a moment felt objectified or brought any kind of wrong eyes on me. Not at all,” she had said.
She further revealed that many times, when she is approached for songs with no context, she refuses them, no matter how much she loves dance.
“We don’t need to characterize it that every song that a woman is celebrating herself and performing, that’s not objectifying women. It all depends on the angle and lens it’s being seen,” she further added.
To clarify, Katrina was reacting to Karan Johar’s remarks about item numbers in his movies, which he shared during an interview with Film Companion, and she voiced her disagreement with his sentiment.
The idea of a woman dancing isn’t something I object to; it’s just not an ‘item number.’ An ‘item song’ refers to instances where women are objectified and men leer at them, as seen in songs like Chikni Chameli. I wouldn’t want to be part of that again. It will never appear in a Dharma Productions film, and I will ensure it remains so. Unlike Desi Girl, Chikni Chameli is an ‘item song.’ I have no intention of being involved in something like that.
Chikni Chameli song was a part of Hrithik Roshan’s 2012-released Agneepath.
