The only reason that Bong beauty did an item number in Anurag Kashyap's just released No Smoking had nothing to do with beau John Abraham. The man who managed to persuade Bipasha to do the item number was none other Vishal Bharadwaj, the co-producer and music composer for the film.

Apparently, Vishal bumped into Bipasha at the Mumbai airport. The actress took the opportunity to thank him for giving her hit numbers like Namak Issk Ka and Bidi Jalaile. The two songs became instant hits and won her a lot of popularity. The actress also made a lot of moolah because of a spurt of shows abroad where she performed to these two numbers. Vishal at once took the opportunity and offered her yet another item number in No Smoking. And our large hearted Bong beauty instantly agreed. But that's not all. Bipasha even agreed to do the number for free as she has just made a lot of money due to Vishal Bharadwaj and Omkara. So it's not just love which makes the world go round folks, but also gratitude.
