An Indian film industry term for a female dancer or performer who appears in an item number — a standalone, typically glamorous song-and-dance sequence in a Bollywood or regional film that is often only loosely connected to the main plot. Item girls are known for energetic, often provocative performances, and the most successful ones become celebrities in their own right.
She started as an item girl in South Indian films before landing her first lead role.
