Tillotama Shome On Item Numbers In Films: “It Makes Me Uncomfortable”
Item numbers and dance numbers in films have always been questioned for their relevance. Major of us believe that it’s only meant to objectify women. However, the Tribhuvan Mishra CA Topper star Tillotama Shome added a more thought-provoking opinion to it. Speaking about the topic in Hauterrfly’s The Male Feminist, the actress said, “When I see, it makes me very uncomfortable. Especially when I see young kids imitate those steps. When a young child imitates or mimics, you just feel like the childhood is gone. Also, it is just how the camera looks at the body. Rather than looking at the woman, they are looking at the woman. What are item numbers, it is dance, and you want to show desire.”
