The ultimate 'it' girl Malaika Arora who hit 38 this week continues to be one of Bollywood's primary head-turners.

However, there will be no more item songs from Malaika. 

A friend of the actress commented, "Malaika is the ultimate item girl. Her dances are in a league of their own. After 'Munni Badnaam Hui' in Dabangg no matter what she did would pale into insignificance. So she has made the right decision. 40 is a good age to hang up your boots and stockings even if you look as smashing as Malaika." 

Malaika on her part sounds as sexily secure now as ever. 

Says the dancing diva, "Yes, I am a year older. But I feel fantastic, younger than ever. There are no song-and-dance appearances right now. I haven't come across anything interesting."
