The close integrated broadcast work that Kavita has done as a filmmaker, opened doors to several inside stories of cheap labour involved in the Indian film industry. She has painted compressed narratives of these individuals doing their little part behind or in front of the camera to get the perfect frame of glitz and glamour. The painting titled, "Item Number" depicts the background dancers of Bollywood songs who struggle to earn a decent amount of salary. It is an attempt to highlight the other side of the industry where hundreds of very skilled migrants come to Mumbai to fulfil their dreams.
