'Chammak challo' Kareena Kapoor speaks after topping our poll...


The Chammak challo track is rated as the best item number of 2011 in the Mid-day poll. Did you expect it to win?
When we were shooting Chammak challo, I instantly fell in love with the track. It has that kind of beat and that feel to it. Also the look of the song, the outfit and desi avatar worked for me.
Nightclubs in South India and London don't normally play Hindi music. I am told Chammak challo is the only track that plays in those night clubs, also in Chennai and Hyderabad.u00a0 My college friends tell me that it plays constantly in Mumbai nightclubs too.

Do people call you Chammak challo after the release of the song?
It happens all the time. Lot of actors and friends call me Chammak challo. I love it.u00a0

Are you aiming for one item song like this every year?
I don't make any such plans. I am an actress. Acting is my passion. There is no Hindi movie complete without the heroine actually shaking her booty. So it's important that a heroine should be able to dance, to make people cry and laugh and absolutely look good at the same time. It's a deadly combination.
