Mumbai, Oct 29 (IANS) After featuring in films like "Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi" and "Yeh Saali Zindagi", actress Chitrangada Singh was seen grooving to "Kundi mat khadkao raja", a raunchy song in "Gabbar Is Back". She says there was no strategy behind choosing an item number.

Before "Kundi mat khadkao raja", Chitrangada had done another song for Shirish Kunder's "Joker".

"I didn't make any strategy that I would do item numbers. It just came my way. Mr. Sanjay Leela Bhansali (producer) called me for the song in 'Gabbar is Back' and Akshay Kumar was also a part of it. We came together, I heard the song and I took it as a part of job. So I did it," said Chitrangada, who will perform in Dubai as part of 'Asia's biggest New Year bash'.

Chitrangada wants to perform on veteran actress Helen's songs at the event.

"It's very difficult to choose one song to perform from so many of her songs. I like to groove on any song of hers. But I would especially like to perform on 'Piya tu ab toh aaja'," she said here.

The actress has been seen in films like "Desi Boyz", "Inkaar", "I, Me Aur Main".
