Rakhi Ka 'Second' Swayamvar

There is a saying 'once bitten, twice shy' but drama queen Rakhi Sawant
seems to be all set to defy the famous idiom. Last year in the first of its kind marriage reality show Rakhi Ka Swayamvar on NDTV Imagine, Rakhi had found her soul mate in Canadian born Gujarati NRI Elesh Parujanwala. The show which had soared the TRP of the channel saw Rakhi get engaged to Elesh after selecting him from a a pool of 16 potential grooms.

Many predicted Rakhi Ka Swayamvar to be a scripted reality show where Rakhi wasn't going to eventually tie the knot with anybody. Rakhi decided to get engaged to Elesh and know him before tying the knot. Soon the things turned sour for the couple media was buzzing with their fights and pot-shots. This finally led the the couple to called it quit while doing the reality show Pati Patni Aur Woh . Hard to believe that this wasn't scripted.

The drama queen says she wants another Swayamvar to select a right partner in her life but this time she will take help of her family. The actress said “The swayamvar was an opportunity to find my perfect man. However, things didn't go the right way. Shayad mera bad luck tha.” As of now sources in NDTV Imagine are tight-lipped about a second show with Rakhi. It remains to be seen if Rakhi get another Swayamvar and is able to convince or fool the audience.

'Elesh was never interested in me' - Rakhi Sawant

Rakhi Sawant comes clean on the reasons why she dumped Elesh Parujanwala, and the manner in which Imagine edited out all that Elesh had to say about their relationship..

Rakhi Sawant who unlike her nature had kept quiet regarding her break up with Elesh Parujanwala has finally broken her silence, and is she furious or what!

The feisty item girl now says her Canada based fiance was never really interested in her."He clearly told me during Pati Patni Aur Woh, that he had entered Rakhi Ka Swayamvar, with an express intention of getting some free publicity. He thought that his lack of Hindi would surely result in his quick elimination from the latter NDTV Imagine show. His real aim was to find a foothold in the film industry and for that he wanted to use me as a ladder. Hence when I chose him, he was not happy. Elesh only agreed to the marriage because he thought he could fob of me. The shameless guy even wanted to move in with me. He also did not care whether, I wore a bikini , or smooched on screen as long, as I brought home the moolah. What finally broke the camel's back was his demand that our future children would not have Indian citizenship, as he regarded us backward", says she.

Rakhi is also annoyed at NDTV Imagine for editing all the above damning parts; "Rather they made me look bad on Pati Patni Aur Woh for calling it quits. I just can't understand why my maayka did this to me".

Rakhi said ideally she wanted some more time after swayamvar to choose her match. "My halfway decision of getting engaged and not getting married was an answer to the constant speculation that, I will cut and run. And thank God I did not do saat phere with a man, who has had 7/8 affairs back home. It now appears that his parents had already washed his hands off him and told him to make his own life. I have some more dirty linen on him, which can ruin him, but I will not expose him right now."

So how did you deal with this situation? "I was heart broken by Elesh's behavior. I cried for days at end, but in the end ,Rakhi Sawant never gives up".

Already she has started to look ahead." I am featuring in a very hot music video with IshQ Bector. I was getting tired of a traditional look, thanks to Swayamvar hence when IshQ suggested this sexy boxing match concept for his new album Jhagde, I jumped at it. This video is the first venture of her new production company. My big dream is a 500 episode serial on the life of Jesus Christ.", she quips.

Rakhi's streak of bad luck continues. She was a guest performer on the recent finale of Star Plus's marriage show, Pefect Bride where she hurt her foot during the rehearsals. " But the channel inhumanly asked me to continue. As a result, I am now in lots of pain and my foot is bandaged ", cried Rakhi.

So what advice did you give to Jhumpa and Hitesh? " I told them to have a good life. See whatever wrong has happened to me might not necessarily happen to somebody else and why should I ruin their happy day with my sad story?".

Rakhi Sawant’s Jhagde in new look

Rakhi Sawant’s chic look in IshQ Bector’s music video is getting a lot of media attention and the reason is not only her new look but its similarity with her arch rival’s hair style. Yes, you guessed it right; she is the one who compared Rakhi with a ‘Nano’ car.

Rakhi’s new look in the video of ‘Jhagde’ (name of the album) is similar to Sherlyn Chopra’s boy cut in ‘Bigg Boss 3’. The two item girls were at loggerheads when Sherlyn commented, “How can people compare a Mercedes Benz with a Nano”. And then who could stop the spitfire bombshell. Rakhi went on national television claiming Sherlyn was “using” her name for “cheap publicity”.


Earlier IshQ had said, “We’re taking her cattiness to the next level,” about Rakhi’s glam short hair cut in the video, but when allegations of being a copycat have been slapped to Rakhi, IshQ is quoted as saying, “Though Sherlyn’s look was the seed, it’s blossomed into a lovely flower, with Rakhi surpassing expectations. The brand new Rakhi is looking hotter than ever before and Sherlyn’s no match for her.” Clever IshQ! How he can beckon a jhagda with Rakhi.

The music video will be out next week. Till then catch some stills of the music man and his muse from their brand new album.

Rakhi set for another swayamvar

After enough of gossip, drama and blame game, the audience will finally get to see Rakhi Sawant and Elesh Parujanwala talk about their ugly break up in tonight's episode of Pati, Patni aur Woh.

Tonight's going to be the 'the' night. Atleast, if we are to go by Elesh Parujanwala's status message on a social networking website. "Elesh is really happy that tonite is gonna be a good nite..tonites gonna be a GOOD GOOD nite!! =)" writes the Canadian businessman.

Just a few days ago, his status read, "The dreaded episode is coming...Friday December 4th @ 10:30pm..the chapter finally closes!" While Elesh insists that it is indeed a dreaded episode, he adds that he would still like to watch it - only to close the chapter."

When asked whether he would like to arrange a swayamvar for himself, he says, "No, I wouldn't. That's for her (Rakhi). I don't want to make money or gain publicity by organising a swayamvar for myself."

A source told us, "Rakhi might be organising swayamwar very soon." When we called up Rakhi to confirm the news, she said, "I haven't thought about it, but even if I do, isme harz hi kya hai? (What's the harm?). It is my life after all!"

Talking about their break up, the spicy Sawant added, "Elesh ne mujhse khud kaha hai ki wo sirf mujhe jaanne aaya tha, shaadi karne nahi aaya tha. (Elesh confessed that he took part in the swayamvar only to know me as a person and not to marry me.) Usne mujhe kaha ki wo kisi London ki ladki se shaadi karna chahta tha. (He told me that he wanted to marry a girl from London). He had expected that he would be voted out in a few episodes but he stayed on and we got engaged. Shaadi toot jaati isse to acha hi hua ki engagement toot gayi. Thank God main bach gayi. (I'm glad that we called it quits now than after marriage. Thank God! I'm safe).

"Koi Indian ladka hota to mujhe kiss bhi nahi karta. Main uske kareeb gayi but acha hua ki maine apni limit nahi cross ki. (Had he been an Indian guy he would have never kissed me. I was quite close to him but I'm glad that I didn't cross my limits)," confesses Rakhi. "Main kya karti? Thappad maarti to media phir us baat ko badha chadha kar batati. (What could I have done? Had I slapped him, the media would have exaggerated it.)"

Rakhi Sawant on the finale of ‘Perfect Bride'

Ms Controversial Queen, Rakhi Sawant will soon be spotted in Star Plus’s “Perfect Bride’. She will be coming in as a guest judge and set the screen on fire with her bindaas attitude.

Our source reports, “We have no idea as to why Star people have invited Rakhi as a guest judge when she herself failed to become a perfect bride in “Rakhi ka Swayamvar’.”

“Another question that arises is whether the show will have a marriage at the end of “Perfect Bride’ or not. NDTV Imagine too promised to have a marriage after the Swayamvar but failed to keep up to its word. So this does raise a question for Star Plus too…” adds our khabroo.

Talking about Ms. Sawant our source adds, “Rakhi is definitely going to judge the perfection of the bride and the groom but the question arises about her potential as she herself is not able to find a perfect groom for herself so how can she judge others?”

Look out for more masala and controversies on the finale of the controversial show “Perfect Bride’ very soon.
