New Delhi, December 20: Breaking silence over her break-up with Elesh Praujanwala, Bollywood item girl and Queen of TV Rakhi Sawant said that he came to know his financial position during the show Pati, Patni aur Who and he didn’t came India to marry her.
‘Elesh is under debts of nearly Rs 50 lakhs. He had not come to marry me. He had come to Swayamvar to collect Rs 25 lakh to pay off his debts. I selected him because if I had not selected anybody in Swayamvar, the media would have said that Rakhi has fled’, says the item girl.
‘Moreover, Elesh did not like India or Indian culture at all. Can you imagine an Indian husband telling his wife to wear bikinis and smooch others? Elesh wanted a live-in relationship and wanted to stay at my home. Is my home a Dharamshala? He says he has 8-9 girl friends back there in Canada’, says Rakhi.
‘Marry I will’, says Rakhi, ‘but with the right person, and if need be, holding another Swayamvar. Why not? If you fail an exam, don’t you make a second try?’
Further in the show Rakhi Sawant blasted Bollywood stars Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar and Aamir Khan saying, they too indulged in publicity stunts.
‘Akshay can ask his wife to open his trouser zip at a fashion show, Ghazni waale Bhai Aamir can make people shave off their heads with crazy lines, and Amitabhji, whom we respect as a Bollwyood legend, can use false teeth to spout Auro’s dialogues. Are these not publicity stunts? Then why is Rakhi Sawant blamed only?’
Striking out at Bollywood biggies, Rakhi Sawant gave an impromptu jig about her latest video album Jhagdey on the floor of Aap Ki Adalat, and challenged Kareena, Deepika and Priyanka Chopra for a dance contest.
‘Kareena may have a zero figure, I do not have, but I challenge Kareena, Deepika and Priyanka Chopra to a dance contest. Aisa naach ke dikhaoongi ki yeh gir jayenge.
Rakhi was unhappy with the type of contestants who had come for the Swayamvar. ‘Yeh log shadi karne nahin aaye the. Behti Ganga Me Haath Dhone Aaye The. Unhe laga Ki Rakhi publicity stunt ke liye swayamvar kar rahi hai. Isiliye kisi ko bhi sachmuch shaadi nahin karni thi’.
