Aishwarya Rai explains absence of dance in new song

The song Bandeya from Jazbaa features Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, but sans a display of her dancing skills. The actress says the attempt was to stay true to the essence of the film, which has serious overtones.
Talking about the song at an event in Mumbai, Aishwarya said: "We wanted to stay true to the film. Just because we had Sanjay (Gupta), I and Ahmed Khan, we didn't want to add dance moves. We just kept it very simple and stayed true to the film."
Aishwarya is portraying a criminal lawyer in the film. Actor Jackie Shroff, who was present at the event, praised his Devdas co-star as "one of the best actresses in Bollywood". The song Bandeyaa, sung by Jubin Nautiyal and composed by Amjad-Nadeem, is an intense track, and depicts a tragic mood.
