Pooja Misra turns item girl for 'Hum Baaja Baja Denge'

Reality TV star Pooja Misra is all set to do an item number in Chandra Barot's upcoming film "Hum Baaja Baja Denge".
Misra said that the song 'Tilasmi', unlike any raunchy item number, is an integral part of the film and helps the storyline to develop further.
"I am doing an item number in 'Hum Baaja Baja Denge'. I got the offer couple of months before my stint in 'Bigg Boss 5'. When my director Chandraji saw me, he finalised me for it then and there and said 'You are my item girl'. I also liked it because it not raunchy at all," Pooja told PTI.

"Hum Baaja Baja Denge" is produced by singer-turned- producer Anup Jalota and will hit theatres on November 15.
Having started her career in showbiz with a dance number in Shatrughan Sinha's wife Poonam produced "Mera Dil Leke Dekho" (2006), Pooja feels that item numbers have changed a lot over the period of time.
"Item numbers have become coveted now. Movie comes and goes but item numbers are remembered for ages. Today top actresses are doing item numbers. They are one of the main marketing tools and are frequently shown or played numbers on TV and radio," she said.

Pooja credits celebrity reality show 'Bigg Boss' for making her a household name in the showbiz industry across India.

"'Bigg Boss' has changed my life completely. When I participated in the show I was totally unaware of the magnitude of it. But when I came out, I realised its importance. The show made me a household name," she said.
She will be next seen in a lead role in "All Out" and a South Indian film.
