New Term Needed for Special Songs: Tamannaah

Tamannaah Bhatia, who is currently busy across Telugu, Hindi, and Tamil film industries, has expressed strong views on the terminology used for special songs in films. In a recent interview, she said she dislikes the term “item song” and believes it is disrespectful to the performers involved. The actress, who recently appeared in Jailer 2, said she is actively working across multiple projects and special appearances, maintaining a strong presence in the industry.

Tamannaah emphasized that calling such performances “item songs” undermines the hard work and dedication of artists. She stated that the word “item” itself is inappropriate and demeaning, and that audiences and the industry should shift their mindset. According to her, special songs involve significant effort, preparation, and talent, and should be given proper respect. Her comments have sparked widespread discussion on social media about the portrayal of women in cinema and the need for more respectful terminology.
