The day Aishwarya shed the ‘sweet’ image, and made Ishq Kameena

Few years ago, a new trend was kickstarted in Bollywood. That, of having special numbers aka item numbers in the movie. When we think about special or item numbers, the first song that surely comes in our mind is ‘Kajra Re’ featuring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Amitabh Bachchan and Abhishek Bachchan.

Aishwarya’s killer moves and adaahs stole our hearts in it. But, do you guys know that the track was not Ash’s first special number? Earlier too, she had done a film in which she was just there for a song. Well, let us tell you that on September 20, 2002, released Karisma Kapoor-starrer ‘Shakti: The Power’, in which Aishwarya did an item number for the first time. Shedding her sweet and docile image, the gorgeous diva shed all inhibitions and grooved to the raciest of lyrics, making Ishq Kameena. *winks*

Titled ‘Ishq Kameena’, the song had Aishwarya shaking a leg with none other than Shah Rukh Khan, who also was in the movie in a special appearance. The thumkas of the actress were loved by everyone and she nailed it in the song. So, people who thought that ‘Kajra Re’ was Aishwarya’s first item number; well it was ‘Ishq Kameena’.

Well, Aishwarya has till date only done two special numbers, and both the songs have been superhit and the highlight of the respective films.
