Malaika Arora is famously known as the Chhaiya Chhaiya girl, her list of Item numbers would be incomplete without a mention of it. There are many more other item numbers where Malaika has proved that she is one of the most sensuous dancers in Bollywood and probably the only one we can say matches up to her ex-step mother in law, Helen. Though there can be no other like Helen, who’s done over 700 films and most of which have been as a dancer.
Malaika is Bollywood’s favourite choice when it comes to doing item numbers and who else would do complete justice to songs like Chhaiya Chhaiya and Munni Badnam? Here’s a list of our favourite Malaika dance numbers:
Fashion Khatam Mujpe
In Dolly Ki Doli, Malaika’s item number was one of the major highlights. She looks her sexiest best and like she says in the song, “Fashion Khatam Mujpe,” she makes even the skimpiest clothes look classy
Mahi Ve
In Mahi Ve from Kaante, she gave soulful a new twist. It was a fusion of soulful with a whole lot of sensuality. Malaika does the pole dance for this song and she has never looked more stunning before.
Hont Rasiley
In Hont Rasiley from Welcome, Anil Kapoor and Nana Patekar try and match steps with Malaika and they are quite a sight to watch. The song goes like: “Hoth rasiley, tere hoth rasiley, dil kehta hai mera yeh ras pe le hoth rasiley” Though the literal translation which means; “Your lips are juicy. My heart wants me to drink this juice,” sounds absolutely cringy and vulgar, Malaika makes the song look and appealing and classy.
Munni Badnam Hui
This is one song that’s probably on everyone’s playlist even today for those days when one feels like dancing away the blues. This song from Dabangg was a super hit and is popular even today.
Here’s wishing the not ‘badnam’ but ravishing Munni aka Malaika Arora, a very Happy Birthday!
