Malaika Arora Says She Loves Being A “S*x Symbol”

Malaika Arora is known as the fitness queen of Bollywood. She gave several item songs, including “Chhaiyaa Chhaiya, Munni Badnaam Hui, Anarkali Disco Chali, Hoth Raseele, and others. She often considered herself a “sex symbol,” and now the actress has accepted the tag and is happy with it. Recently, Malaika said that she has no scruples with the tag and would rather have a known woman as a sex symbol than ‘Plain Jane’.

 Malaika made her appearance at the India Today Conclave, and she reveals why she is ok with the symbol and why she shouldn’t just know the number of an item song. She quoted, “I love being called a sex symbol. I have no qualms about being a sex symbol. I would rather be known as a sex symbol than be called Plain Jane. I am very happy, and I like that tag.” 

The diva also stated that she is known for more than just her item songs.Malaika said, “I am more than just a few songs—a few item songs. I am a lot more than that. Initially, that’s all one was looked at as: “she has a pretty face, a great body, and she looks fantastic on screen when she dances, moves well’, but I think staying relevant for over 30 years is not easy. And you cannot just do that, harboring on good looks.” 

She further added, “At some point, those looks are going to fade away, and you have to move beyond that look. I am very happy and proud to say that I am part of a business where I am not a quintessential actress, but I am still a part of the industry and get the love and all the respect that any actress in the industry does.”
