Her item number Selfiyaan from film Wrong No. received a lot of criticism from the local audience, but the actress refused to call it an “item number”.
“It’s not like a girl is dancing amid random men who are enjoying her dance moves,” said Sohai in another interview with BBC Urdu.
“My character [in the film] is getting married in a family she is related to. She is just dancing as part of the celebrations. I don’t think family is involved in item numbers… even the clothes and lyrics [in Selfiyaan] were not provocative,” she explained.
On a question about whether or not she prefers doing item numbers, the actress said, “I won’t say anything concrete about doing item numbers or not, but I am not very fond of doing them.”“I wouldn’t want to be an item girl,” she added.
