Talking about Bollywood’s ‘tough’ conventional dance routines, the actress – who starred in Phata Poster Nikhla Hero’s item songs Dhating Naach, said, “The heaving thrusting b*tt-moving is tough. When they give you the movements forty minutes before they are shot and then you have to learn the steps and lip-sync, you have to be a seasoned dancer to get a hang of it, which I am not. It’s very difficult for my mind and body to be in sync because I have learned western dancing. Bollywood dancing is very different.”

She continued, “Bollywood dancing is as alien to me as Hindi. I am just enjoying learning it. There is a lot of heaving and b**b-thrusting, which I found difficult at first. But I was okay after a while. There are so many people indulging in so many activities on the sets. Come to think of it, everything here in Mumbai is culturally very different from everywhere else.”
