She set the screen ablaze with her chartbusters 'Chikni Chameli' (Agneepath) and Shiela Ki Jawani (Tees Maar Khan), so much so that they got more mileage than the films themselves. But now, it comes to light that Katrina Kaif has no time for item numbers.

The actress has been apparently approached by three film makers to do an item song in their film. But Katrina had to refuse all of them due to her choc-a-block schedule.

Says a source to Mid-Day, "Katrina loves dancing. She is equally enthusiastic about the rehearsals. She does not mind doing more item numbers. When the offers came her way, she was greatly excited. However her tight schedule this year leaves no time for item numbers."

Adds the source, "Some directors feel she is a lucky mascot for them. They even think that her presence in the song is like a guarantee of superhit songs."

According to choreographer Terence Lewis, "Her face makes her look sweet no matter what she does." Vaibhavi Merchant who has worked with the actress states, "Street dance, krumping, hip hop, salsa and the typical Bollywood style dance -- she can do it all in one go."

Wise move on Kaif's part as she was in danger of becoming typecast in dare bare item numbers with little for her to do except shake a leg.

The diva will next be seen with Aamir Khan in Dhoom 3 and in Bang Bang with Hrithik Roshan.
