With her charming and attractive number of ‘Ek Do Teen’, Madhuri can be given due credit for introducing the concept of item number. The film Tezaab for which she performed the catchy number also featured the actress in lead role opposite Anil Kapoor. Years after she featured in another scintillating number for the film ‘Bade miyan chhote miyan’. The “Makhna” song saw the gorgeous actress blending sensuousness with classical dance moves.

The actress with the coveted tag of ‘Miss Universe’ donned a gorgeous Arabian dress to sizzle and scintillate artistically to the beats of “Mehboob Mere” .Despite its sensuousness the whooping movement of the actress along with her intensely passionate looks made the number simply awesome and unforgettable. By the time she made it to ‘Fiza’ for the given sequence, she wasn’t new to acting. Sushmita Sen in the mentioned item number powerfully revealed how the fundamentals of acting can be attributed to give an additional edge to such a number.

Donning the tag of ‘Miss World’, Aishwarya Rai seduced and enthralled both the audience and her current hubby Abhishek by her enchantingly glamorous movements to the rhythm of ‘Kajra Re’. The famous item number contributed to the sweeping popularity of the film. Ash decked in a colorful lehanga was the most appropriate choice for the hot and titillating number. Aishwarya reveals how she puts together her sensuousness, expression and prowess in dancing to make the given number unforgettable.

Bebo too did an exciting number for S.R.K’s Don. Twirling and titillating to the beats of a remade number ‘Yeh mera dil…’ Bebo carried her performance to the heights of sensuality. The actress turned item performer with her spontaneity and vibrance stole the show.

Adorning herself in a revealing set of bikini and skirt, the actress went on a dancing spree as well as that of changing spree as she gyrated to the beats of “Love mera hit hit” for the film “Billu Barber”. Accompanied by Shahrukh, the pair sizzled and scintillated their way to the audience. The above mentioned actresses did not exclusively make it to the item numbers, they were well into the business of acting .Moreover some of them like Aishwarya and Sushmita did the needful for those given films for the first time. Deepika may be used to performing in such numbers but she has the required command over acting.

Mere display of physique along with a few gyrating and whooping movements do not necessarily contribute to the success of an item number. One has to pitch in with ones appropriate expression.
