Kangana, who boasts of having acted in a variety of films, however, never agreed to offers of performing item songs. She not only finds them highly misogynist in nature, but advocates in favour of banning them.

“I don’t do item numbers because there is nothing to be done in them. They are… they are obscene, they are at times unfair, most of them are sexist. What is there to be done in them? I personally feel they should be banned. I can’t be a part of something which is so toxic for us, our society, our children. If tomorrow, you have a daughter, I have a daughter, would I want her to be called those names, objectified like that? I mean, there are children out there, we need to take responsibility for them,” she told TOI, in a recent interview. (Also Read:
