When Miss World, Yukta, consented to do a single dance number for the Ajit-Jyotika South Indian film - Poovellam Unn Vaasam, the grapevine was buzzing with tales of desperation and wicked career moves: How could Miss World wriggle her hips for just a dance number?

Reportedly, some of her colleagues and well-wishers told her that she was spoiling her image by doing just a dance number in a film. A worried Yukta wanted to return the signing amount and back out. But the producer assured her that he would sign her as the heroine for his next film, and even gave an advance payment for it! It was only then that Mukhey consented to do the song-dance item!
