Actress Aditi Rao Hydari is totally against the term "item song". She says she won't mind being a part of a "dance number" as long as it is graceful.

"I hate the word item song. For me, an item song is when a girl wears small clothes and looks sexy...I don't want to look cheap. For me, grace is important. So I don't think I will do item number. But yes, if it's a dance number, I would love to do it," Aditi said here.

The actress is busy promoting her forthcoming film "Boss", in which she has even donned a bikini. She says she is happy with the positive response to her look in the movie which stars Akshay Kumar in the lead role.

"I was asked not to lose weight (for the movie), but I worked hard and toned my body. I wanted to go for a naturally feminine body. I did a lot of body exercise. I ate healthy, I am happy that people have liked it. I am happy that the feedback has been very positive," added the actress, earlier seen in movies like "Rockstar" and "London, Paris, New York".

"Boss", directed by Anthony D'Souza, releases Oct 16.
