Over the years, Malaika Arora has won over the audience with her dance moves in songs like
Chaiyya Chaiyya from
Dil Se (1998),
Munni Badnaam Hui from
Dabangg (2010) and
Anarkali Disco Chali from
Housefull 2 (2012), among others. Apart from her big screen appearances, she has judged various reality shows, like
Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa, India’s Got Talent, India’s Next Top Model and
India’s Best Dancer, among others. While she loves to be on the screen, Malaika — who is also known for being a fashionista and her passion for fitness and has done guest appearances in films like
Kaante (2002),
EMI (2008) and
Housefull (2010) — hasn’t done a full-fledged role in a Bollywood venture.
Ask her what stops her from taking the big leap, and she says, “I think I have always shied away from it.” However, she maintains that she would like to take up something in that space if anything exciting comes her way. She shares, “I always believe in, never say never. By the grace of God, there has always been a lot of interest and loads of offers. I feel, if there’s a role that truly excites me when I hear it, then I would definitely take it up.”

Known for her dancing prowess, is it a dance film that she is looking for? “I don’t know! It could be anything, maybe something that’s completely different from the person that I am. I think that’s what would excite me the most,” she signs off.
