Kangana's unique dance act in New York

After doing atypical roles, Kangana Ranaut did the unthinkable at an awards show in New York - she danced to the remix of songs picturised on her male co-stars.

"I danced to a re-mix of songs from my films 'Gangster - A Love Story', 'Woh Lamhe' and 'Metro'. Except that these are male numbers. I got them re-recorded into a female voice and danced to them," Kangana told IANS.

Isn't she embarrassed to be dancing to songs originally filmed on Emraan Hashmi and Shiney Ahuja?

"Not at all!" asserted Kangana. "Numbers like 'Kya yehi pyar hai' might not be filmed on me. But they express my emotions as much as anybody else's in these films. And who remembers whom 'Kanta laga' was originally picturised on?"

Though this was Kangana's first visit to New York, she was comfortable seeing the city on her own. "I love the feel of strange cities. I can roam for hours on my own."

Apart from Kangana, Bipasha Basu too danced at the Bollywood Movie Awards 2007 on May 25. She jived on item numbers from "Omkara" as well as other hit songs of the year.

"'Beedi' and 'Namak' in 'Omkara' made me realise how much I enjoy filmy dances. Of course, I danced to my hit numbers. But they wanted me to dance to hit songs of the year from films that I didn't feature in. I didn't mind. Nowadays, I just love the outflow of energy when I go on stage," said Bipasha.

Urmila Matondkar, who's the most seasoned performer of the trio, danced to her own songs too.

"I danced to a medley of my own songs including 'Bas Ek Pal'," said Urmila.
