The video, featuring Hamza, Hania Aamir, and Ahad Raza Mir in conversation with Momin Ali Munshi, captured the actor&#8217;s candid disapproval of item numbers.<\/p>\n<p>Unequivocally expressed his disapproval, Hamza said, &#8220;I don&#8217;t support item numbers.&#8221; He added, &#8220;An item number [simply consists of] sexually provocative lyrics and sexually provocative clothes. That&#8217;s it. It&#8217;s very easy to define.&#8221; Hania affirmatively chimed in agreement.<\/p>\n<p>Hamza furthered on exasperatedly, &#8220;Now don&#8217;t do this that there is a thin blurry line between vulgar and hot and sexy.&#8221; At this point, Hania interjected, saying that if the discussion is taking place, they should &#8220;talk about it.&#8221; Hamza then went on to ridicule talk shows for their line of questioning regarding choosing between stars in absurd, hypothetical situations.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When Momin traced back to the issue at hand, saying that overtly sexual songs should be put aside, Hamza said, &#8220;Then that&#8217;s not an item number. Then it&#8217;s a song.&#8221; When asked for examples, Hamza said, &#8220;<em>Aa supari hoon, chaba le mujhe<\/em> &#8211; what does it mean? <em>Main tutti fruiti hoon, kha le mujhe. Main billi hoon, noch loongi <\/em>&#8211; aren&#8217;t these sexually implicit?&#8221; He added, &#8220;We&#8217;ve reassured ourselves by saying one is hot, one is vulgar, one is sexy &#8211; there is no such line.&#8221; In the circulating clip, Ahad remained a silent observer, crossing his hands over his chest as the brief discussion ensued.<\/p>\n<p><em>Have something to add?
