Nude pics worry Rakhi

Rakhi goes to a reality show about parenting... but kids give her a headache! And, she asks, “Will Elesh be able to tolerate my morphed naked 
Rakhi and Elesh
Rakhi and Elesh More Pics
pics on the Net?" 


Rakhi Sawant goes into her second reality show from Wednesday. It’s a show about parenting with Rakhi and Elesh playing mother and father. 

There’s one hitch. Babies give Rakhi a headache. “I’ve a migraine problem. When a child cries I get a severe headache . I don’t know how I’ll manage for a month with a stranger’s child. On top of that I’ve to cook on the show. I can’t cook to save my life.” 

Ask her how she will cope when she has her own kids and Rakhi retorts, “Apna bachcha to har koi paal leta hai, jaanwar bhi. I don’t know how I’ll cope. I think I’m going to lose my cool completely. So far people have only seen the good Rakhi Sawant. Now they’ll see the real me. Elesh returned from his sister'swedding on Tuesday night. We enter the show from Wednesday. I don’t know how I’ll manage. This show is already giving me a headache. I can’t even use makeup. Can you imagine Rakhi Sawant without makeup?”

Rakhi was supposed to visit her reality-show fiancĂ© Elesh’s home -town in Toronto. “But I couldn’t get a visa from the US to Canada. I had to really get pushed around for my US visa. It was impossible to get a visa from the US to Canada. Elesh’s family was very keen to have me over. They came for my Swayamvar all the way to Mumbai. And I couldn’t for for them. But no problem. As soon as my new reality show Pati Patni Aur Woh is over I’ll visit his family in Toronto with Elesh.” 

Rakhi says she’ll marry Elesh only when he becomes economically self sufficient. “It’s my life and a decision like marriage should be left to me only. Elesh may be the best person in the world. But he may not be be the best person for me.I don’t want him to be another Abhishek Awasthi in my life. Yes,we’re engaged. I like him a lot. But how can I hand over my life to someone who isn’t earning a proper living? That’s why we’re going on another reality show to see whether we’re really as compatible as we seemed on Rakhi Ka Swayamvar.I didn’t get enough time on him on that show. You and I saw his best face.Now I want to see the real Elesh.I want to marry a man who can support me. When we go to a restaurant he should pay the bill, not me. In India wives are supposed to be looked after by husbands, not vice versa. He has seen how I live. I don’t want him to come and stay in my house I want to live in his house. I will wait for him to afford a house.I will wait.” 

Rakhi is specially worried about Elesh accepting her sexy image. “On the internet they’ve morphed my face on naked bodies. Would Elesh be able to tolerate it? He’s broad-minded, yes. But God knows what he’d be like after marriage.” 

She bursts into tears. “Mere dil mein bahut taqleef hai. Will Elesh be able to support me financially? I don’t want him to be known as Rakhi Sawant’s husband. Mujhe waqt chahiye. I feel I’m stuck in a stormy ocean.I can’t climb the cross just to please public. I agree Elesh is educated and he comes from a wealthy family. But all of it belongs to his father. He has nothing of his own in Mumbai, not even a home. He needs time to settle down. In the meanwhile people are spreading dirty rumours about me. Ek insaan kitna bardaasht kare?” 

Rakhi is disgusted by singer Mika’s attempts to make mileage out of her name. “I’m really tired of people using my name. I don’t want to give such people more importance. I’ve learnt the hard way how to be dignified.Jesus has taught me to be calm. My good days are just beginning. Let me remind these publicity seekers that short cuts don’t get you anywhere.” 

Rakhi says she’s going through a lot of turmoil. “They are writing all kinds of things making up all kinds of quotes about Elesh on my behalf. They’re all taking advantage of me. I’m being used for publicity by so many people. Why are people doing these things with me? Jesus knows how much I’m suffering.” 

Speaking on her former boyfriend Abhishek Awasthi Rakhi says, “I still consider him my good friend. I hope and pray he finds a good girl to marry. If ever in life he needs me I’ll always be there. If needs me to be a dance partner in a reality show I’ll gladly do the needful. He has supported me a lot. I’ll always be thankful to him for getting my mother out of my life. That’s one good deed he did. If Abhishek hadn’t been there I’d have not had the courage to break away from my family. I’d have been wallowing in mud. Aaj Rakhi Swant nahin hoti. I’d have been something else. I can’t even say what I’d have been.” 

Rakhi thinks her good days have started. “I know Elesh is a decent guy. But is that enough? He has be financially independent. He needed a place and a face to latch on to, that’s why he came on the show. Abhishek Awasthi was so decent. But he was know as Rakhi’s boyfriend.”

Rakhi's Swayamvar : India's most watched TV show

MUMBAI: Rakhi Sawant, the outspoken, wannabe-bride on NDTV Imagine has not only managed to select her groom on television, but has also achieved in garnering the maximum ratings for any reality show in last two years.

As per Tam data, the grand finale of Rakhi Ka Swayamvar Faisle Ki Raat, which was aired live on 2 August from 9-11.30 pm, fetched a whopping TVR of 8.4 for the channel.

The viewers remained captivated by Rakhi and her tantrums to make the finale the top rated show among the Hindi GECs (general entertainment channels) during the week. It also helped the channel to notch a total of 141 GRPs in the week ended 2 August.

Rakhi Ka Swayamvar had been into controversies from the very beginning. While on one hand, there was Rakhi selecting and rejecting perspective contestants as per her whims and fancies, there were news channels on the other hand trying to create scoops out of the show.

It is pertinent to note here that News24 conducted a sting operation, saying that the show was rigged, ultimately helping the property to garner more eyeballs.

Rakhi Ka Swayamvar that hit the television screen on 29 June witnessed the best non-fiction opening with a TVR of 4.1, till Sach Ka Saamna launched on Star Plus. But the show did what it was created for. It gave NDTV Imagine a major upward push. The channel which was hovering around the 100 GRP (gross rating points) mark on a weekly basis, before the launch of the show, zoomed up by over 25 GRPs per week.

Overall, the show that was spread over a 6-week span fared an average of 2.8 TVR.

On a week-on-week basis, the show managed an average TVR of 2.8 in its first week. The ratings dipped slightly in the second week (2.3 TVR) but as word of mouth about Rakhi's hunt for a dulha spread, the ratings soared higher. However, after an average of more than 3 TVR for two consecutive weeks, the three remaining contestants and Rakhi lost some of the charm as average rating slumped to 1.5 TVR in the fifth week.

The final week (average 5.9 TVR) saw two major events in the show, Mehendi Sangeet on 1 August (3.4 TVR) and the finale, where she picked NRI Elesh Parujanwala as her to-be groom.

And now, the channel has decided to milk all the publicity around the couple, and has roped in them to contest in their upcoming reality show, Pati Patni or Woh, which is adaption of international format show Baby Borrowers. BBC Worldwide, which holds the rights of the show is producing it for the channel.

Rakhi Ka Swayamvar : It is Bigger than Aishwarya -Abhishek Wedding

Heard this?? No, it’s not us, but loud- mouthed sexy item girl Rakhi Sawant, who has been proclaiming from roof tops that her wedding, which is to be held after a suitable boy is selected through her Swayamvar on a television channel, will be bigger and grandeur than that of Aishwarya Rai.



Rakhi Sawant is currently shooting in Udaipur, Rajasthan, for a reality show ‘Rakhi Ka Swayamvar’ for NDTV Imagine. However, what has foxed the viewers is Rakhi Sawant’s coy behavior before her suitors, who are taking part in the reality show.





On her bindaas image in public, Rakhi says that it was a carefully cultivated imagery of hers to keep the trouble- makers away. Otherwise, she would not be able to survive in the big bad world of entertainment industry.

Meanwhile, the latest from the set of the show is that Atirek Sharma, one of the contestants on ‘Rakhi Ka Swayamvar’, tried to enter Rakhi’s room around 8.30 pm to meet her in private and convince her of his suitability for the wedding. However, Atirek could not succeed, as bouncers posted at the door of Rakhi’s room, prevented him from entering.


Sources close to Atirek Sharma say that he was friend of Rakhi Sawant’s ex-beau Abhishek Awasthi for almost fifteen years, but ditched his friendship to wed Rakhi and take part in the show. Atirek and Abhishek both belong to Kanpur city in northern India.

Though, the format of the NDTV Imagine’s show requires Rakhi Sawant to marry the winner of the show, audiences are not convinced that she would agree to marry someone selected from the lot.

Whatever, the audience might think of Rakhi Sawnt and her wedding through a reality show, but the sexy item girl is convinced that it would be far more glamorous and grandeur than Aishwarya Rai’s wedding. It may be recalled that Aishwarya Rai is married to Abhsihek Bachchan, son of living legend of bollywood Amitabh Bachchan.

But Rakhi is so sure……in any case…..nobody can win an argument with Rakhi…….so leave her daydreaming!!

Abhishek used me: Rakhi Sawant


Abhishek used me: Rakhi Sawant

Rakhi Sawant who is known for her sharp tongue and her abrupt ways has admitted to being 'used' and also broken-hearted.

The lady who is the object of many men's desires and the most talked-about bride-to-be thanks to her televised swayamvar that is currently going on on NDTV Imagine, says that her relationship with ex-boyfriend Abhishek Awasthi was deliberately broken by their own family members.

An admittedly heartbroken Rakhi places the blame on her own mother as well as Abhishek's mother and domestic help for the relationship that lasted four years not resulting in marriage.

Rakhi is, however, also critical of Abhishek, who, she claims 'used' her as a stepping stone to make his base in the industry which is otherwise not welcoming of outsiders.

She insists that she used her contacts to establish him as a choreographer and as soon as his work was done, he dumped her and started dating Shradha Sharma.

This is yet another example that Rakhi quotes as evidence of being unlucky in love, another reason why she is looking for true love through the swayamvar.

Rakhi to wear Rs 3 mn necklace on 'swayamvar' day


Rakhi Sawant surely couldn't have asked for more. A Rs 30 lakh (Rs 3 million) necklace designed by Farah Ali Khan, a lehenga-choli wedding dress by celebrity designer Neeta Lulla, a 'swayamvar' on national television and a grand wedding to be watched by millions across the country.

The 'item girl', who has had a rags-to-riches career, will marry on NDTV Imagine's reality show Rakhi Ka Swayamvar soon. She will choose her "perfect man" from among nine grooms who have come from cities like New Delhi, Mumbai, Rishikesh, Jaipur and Kanpur and even from places as far off as Toronto.

National award winning designer Neeta Lulla, who is one of Aishwarya Rai's favourite designers, and ace jewellery designer Farah Khan Ali have been roped in to help Rakhi look her best on her D-day. And the two are doing every bit they can to fulfil the bride-to-be's wish to look like a "princess" that special day.

"Rakhi told us she wants to look like a princess that day - something like she has never looked before. I have given her a very colourful ensemble - it's a very conservative outfit," Lulla told IANS over phone from Mumbai.

"For her wedding day, Rakhi would be wearing a lehenga-choli in five different colours with ornate kundan work to give her an ethnic Rajasthani look," said Lulla, who has designed Aishwarya's clothes in movies like "Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam", "Devdas" and more recently "Jodhaa Akbar".

To complement her outfit, Rakhi will be donning traditional Indian jadau jewellery designed by Farah Ali Khan, the daughter of yesteryears actor Sanjay Khan and well-known interior designer Zarine Khan.

"The choker that Rakhi will be wearing for her wedding day is very heavy. It looks very traditional and covers almost her entire neck," she said.

According to Khan, the choker costs approximately Rs 3 million. However, Lulla has refused to divulge the price tag of her outfit.

The two designers are not only putting their creative instincts together for Rakhi's wedding day but also for the sangeet and mehendi (pre-wedding) ceremonies.

For the sangeet, Rakhi decided to opt for an Indo-Western look in blue. Lulla says it is a very contemporary outfit. To match the dress, Khan has given her an elaborate diamond neck piece, which also costs around Rs.3 million.

If both the designers are to be believed, Rakhi was extremely "accomodating" to their suggestions but gave her inputs as well.

"Rakhi told me that her earrings shouldn't be very heavy so that she can dance freely. She also said that I should design ornaments which don't break," said Khan.

If this wasn't enough, model-turned-fashion co-ordinator Marc Robinson has also been roped in to groom Rakhi's prospective grooms, who are vying to marry the former item girl through the reality show.

Rakhi's wedding will take place as soon as she zeroes in on an eligible bachelor for herself on NDTV Imagine's show Rakhi Ka Swayamvar - a move that has left a lot of people in tinsel town shocked.

Marry me!!! Salman :Rakhi Sawant

Rakhi Sawant
The bigmouth of Bollywood Rakhi Sawant wants to marry Salman Khan .

The actress declared it publicly on the recent show ‘Dus Ka Dum’, hosted by Salman.

It is a known fact that Katrina Kaif is not willing to marry Salman at this juncture of her career. But that doesn’t mean this hunk is running short of proposals. On the finale of Salman’s show, Rakhi confessed her liking for Salman and even presented him a ring.


The whole incident and event left Salman speechless. He was shocked.

It may be recalled that Salman was disappointed by Rakhi’s walkout from ‘Nach Baliye 3’ after she and Abhishek Awasthi lost the contest, where Salman was a guest. He tried to calm her down, but only in vain.

Salman, not bothered about that incident, invited her for his show, where Rakhi showed him her dum.
