While other actresses run shy of being typecast as the ‘item girl’, Rakhi Sawant comes from a completely different school of thought.

She’s not afraid to say what’s on her mind and what everyone knows is the truth. “Why should I be ashamed of being called an item girl?” she demands, when we put the question to her.

“Do you know what is the meaning of being called an item girl? It means you are beautiful, you have a great figure and you are a fabulous dancer. So I am proud to be called an item girl.” Now that’s what we call, an honest answer.
