Before Sunny Leone, the item song in ‘Bhoomi’ went to this Bollywood actress

Sunny Leone’s item number ‘Trippy Trippy’ from Sanjay Dutt’s comeback film ‘Bhoomi’ didn’t garner any notable positive response. In fact, some went on to call it her sleaziest song so far. However, not many of us knew that it was first offered to Daisy Shah!

Daisy, who is struggling to carve her niche in the industry, feels item songs and those who perform them are highly stereotyped. Further, it also depends on the concerned actor’s present stature in the industry whether hers should be called a ‘guest appearance’ or an ‘item number’.

“If you’ve made it big in Bollywood, such as Kareena Kapoor Khan and Katrina Kaif, and then you do an item song, it becomes a ‘guest appearance’. That’s how it works. Sadly, that’s the attitude of our Hindi film industry,.

So let’s put it this way: I don’t intend to do item numbers, but [will do] guest appearances. I would make it sound classy. I will not consider any offer for an item song. I will turn it down. The day they call me for a guest appearance, I will consider and may agree to do it,” Daisy said, while in a conversation with HT.

“If I wanted to do an item song, I would’ve done it in ‘Bhoomi’ when I was asked to do it. Why would I lie? I’m not interested in doing any item song, so I won’t cook up such a story. I am straightforward and don’t like doing jalebi talks. I can’t, even in my wildest dreams, say that I am doing an item song,” she revealed.

That’s quite a trivia!

Daisy, who started her Bollywood career with Salman Khan’s ‘Jai Ho’, has later appeared in ‘Hate Story 3’ and has also ventured in the South. Her next Hindi film is ‘Ram Ratan’.
