Rated as one of the top item number dancers in Bollywood, Malaika started out from Chaiyya Chaiyya in Dil Se. This Munni has since worked on numerous item numbers and isn’t afraid of her son watching her dance videos. She told IANS, “He doesn't get affected by my songs. He is too tiny and young. If he likes the song, he comes up and says that he liked it.”

This mother doesn’t see item songs as they are made out to be, rather views them with a different approach. “For me, personally I think songs are part of the film and it's fun to be a part of a song but it also depends on how it's going to be publicised and picturised. I love it and every time I get the opportunity to be a part of something, I always say yes because I enjoy it,” said the actress.
She further adds, "I never look at it (item songs) that way. Unfortunately, people have made it a derogatory thing. It's the way it's been used. I would call it as a special song. I hate the word 'item' song. People have made it sound like crude and crass so, I would just call it as a special song.” The 39-year-old’s perception towards item numbers is definitely a different one than popular opinion.

Currently the actress is one of the judges of reality TV show India’s Got Talent season 6 alongside filmmaker Karan Johar and actress-politician Kirron Kher. She explains the clash of opinion on the show and how it affects the judging process. "We are three different people with three different mind sets, different mentality so, there will be difference of opinion while judging but, at the end of the day that's fun. It's fun when you have difference of opinion," claimed Malika.
The actress uploaded pictures on Instagram of her son enjoying with the ladies:
