After hearing Anitha Sampath uttering “item song” to mention the category of songs that takes place in films with no connection with the plot, Suja Varunee questioned why the term “item” is being used to mention such songs. She suggested the former news reader to use “solo” song or “glamour” song but not “item” song. Anitha Sampath immediately stopped replying to Suja based on the topic, saying that it is a sensitive one.

In a recent video that was released in the youtube channel of Disney plus hotstar, Anitha Sampath and Thamarai were seen spending their time in jail. Suja Varunee was sitting outside and conversing with them. Thamarai asked Suja to sing any song and Anitha followed her asking “Is there any jail song ?” to which Suja said “There are many jail songs”

“There will be many “item” songs based on jail but is there any song about jail itself ?” Anitha asked. “I don’t understand something you asked. Why did you use such term to mention the performers who feature in those songs ? It was song wrong and you shouldn’t use that term. There is some respect for them” Suja said and continued referring Samantha’s recently released “Oo Solriya Mama” song.

“Suja, I myself talked about women empowerment in this same Bigg Boss house. Don’t accuse me of anything” Anitha said. “You should have mentioned it as a solo song or glamour song” Suja continued complaining. Anitha ended the topic saying that she said it only because it was used widely in film industry. “Lets leave this, it is a sensitive topic” Anitha further said.

However, there is nothing problematic in mentioning a song that is inserted into a film that don’t have relevance to the plot as “item number” as it means nothing but highly sensualized songs with racy imagery and suggestive lyrics. Just like a melody number or a folk number, an item number of a film only refers to a particular category of songs and there’s nothing derogatory for an artist to feature in an “item song”.

Check out some of the reactions that surfaced in online platforms for the conversation that took place between Anitha, Suja and Julie :

Item song is item song. Even heroine can do a glamor song separately with the hero. Item song in the sense which totally irrelevant to the film. So it make sense. #BBUltimate https://t.co/7OsVYI3X7H
