Shabana Azmi Brilliantly Points Out Why ITEM SONGS Are The Biggest Toxins In Bollywood

The first step towards solving any problem is acknowledging there is one. We haven’t reached a definite solution to any problem in our country because people refuse to see them. And one big problem among them is how women are blatantly objectified by our glorious film industry. An item song with lyrics like. “Main to tandoori murgi hun yaar, gatka le mujhe alcohol se” are glorified in the name of celebrating women’s sensuality and having fun.

Have we, for one second, thought how this affects the younger generation, who dances to it thinking it’s okay to expose themselves to such toxicity at such young age? No, we haven’t!

At International Women’s Day, Shabana Azmi raised some valid concerns about the effect, item songs are having on our generation. Watch the video uploaded by NDTV.
