Shamita should be indebted to item numbers.

Without the dhak-dhak stuff, she may have exited from Bollywood's A-League, like Mohabbatein co-stars Kim Sharma and Preeti Jhangiani.

Sharara sharara in Mere Yaar Hi Shaadi Hai and Chori pe chori in Saathiya ensured Shilpa S' younger sis stays in the fray.

Shamita -- who we hear is currently seeing Aftab Shivdasani -- will hope for a successful hat-trick with her item number in Gautam Adhikari's Wajah, in which she also stars.
