Not only does the actress not want to do item numbers, the Queen star also doesn&rsquo;t wish to perform at weddings. She recently turned down a Rs 3 crore offer to perform at one such function.
In fact, Kangna has clearly instructed her team that she will never do an item number, as she doesn&rsquo;t wish to get typecast. Of course, this is not to say that she only wants to do women-centric roles post the success of her film, Queen. She is open to taking on a variety of roles and is more than happy to experiment.

Working the party circuit Sunny Deol has been a part of the film industry for more than three decades now, but the actor is known not to attend Page 3 parties.
