Rakhi Sawant was left with red faced in 12th episode on her reality show
Rakhi Ka Swayamvar after contestant Ashwin Chaudhari tried to dig her past. The show host Ram Kapoor gave a chance to all the six contestants to ask Rakhi what ever they wanted to know about her. When everyone shared their hearty words with her, the Nagpur’s lover boy asked whether she had any alleged relationship with anyone in the past, which shocked her.
Buzz up!
Ashwin Chaudhari was on a date with
Rakhi Sawant. He said, “I’ve heard that to enter film industry, girls needs to get into dirty jobs, which they should not do. Have you ever faced such situation? If so, how did you handle the situation? Though Rakhi was bit stunned, she recovered herself and replied, “Even I’ve got such situation.” Suddenly, she took out her sandal and waving it in the air, she continued, “I used to handle such situaton with this.”
He continued and said, “I don’t want to hurt, but want to repeat a question. Since I want to marry you, I would like to know you better before the marriage. I’ve heard that Mika wanted to participate in the contest. Did he really love you so much?” Rakhi turned more red and furious. She could not reply him anything. Talking about Abhishek Awasthi, he asked, “What kind of relationship you had with him? Was it only friendly relation? or did you have any physical contact with him?
However, Ashwin Chaudhari reportedly sacrificed attending his only sister’s marriage to woo the love of his life
Rakhi Sawant. His family was disappointed and did not take this too well.
Item girl observes ‘Karva Chauth’ for five men
Here is one more instance of
Rakhi Sawant’s crazy stunts. Karva Chauth – a festival that celebrates wedded bliss – is a few months away, but the item girl has already observed the fast for not one but five men in the run up to her “swayamvar”.
Rakhi, who surprised many when she decided to marry through NDTV Imagine’s reality show “
Rakhi Ka Swayamvar”, is busy selecting an ideal groom on the show. As part of that she observed a fast for five finalists to pray to god to help her make the right decision.
Not just that – even the contenders – Luv Khanna, Manas Katyal, Elesh Parujanwala, Chhitiz Jain and Manmohan Tiwari – decided to support her and observed the fast with Rakhi. If that wasn’t enough, each boy’s mother helped Rakhi and their sons in breaking the fast in a traditional way, a source close to the show told IANS.
Rakhi also bonded with four of her prospective mothers-in-law, when they went all the way to Udaipur’s Fateh Garh Palace, where the show is being shot. She even discussed recipes of some of her favourite dishes with one of them, said the source.
Toronto-based Parujanwala’s mother couldn’t be on the show as she is abroad, but all the other women spoke at length to Rakhi about the cultures and traditions followed in their families.
The mothers even took gifts for Rakhi.
Luv’s mother gifted her a bangle and a Ganesha idol, while Manas’ mother cooked for her. Chhitiz’s mother brought her some childhood memories of her son and Manmohan’s mom presented her Ganga jal from their hometown Rishikesh.
The item girl-turned-actress made a handful of appearances in films like “Main Hoon Na” and also featured on Sony TV’s reality show “Big Boss”.
The show “
Rakhi Ka Swayamvar” airs every Monday-Friday at 9 p.m. on NDTV Imagine. It is supposed to culminate in Rakhi’s wedding as she zeroes in on her mate.
If you have been following this show closely, you would have noticed Rakhi claiming that she is either 28 or 29 years old.
In fact, she had different numbers for different people within a gap of a couple of minutes on the same episode.
I checked on the Wikipedia which tells me that Rakhi is neither 28 nor 29. She is in fact 30 years 7 months 23 days old today.
That means she is around 8 years older than Manas Katyal. Let’s see if his mother realizes that fact.
This is a very strong possibility. Industry sources say that the show has been fixed since the very beginning.
For example… The show producers knew about Ather Parwez marriage and his three kids before the show began. He was still made to appear on the show for the sake of creating controversies.
We bet the presence of Atirek Sharma was also planned. But that move was not very successful so he was thrown out rather soon on the show.
Another source claims that Rakhi is not going to marry anyone on this show. Eventually the winning contestant(s) would be given an offer to either take a large sum of money or to marry Rakhi. Everyone would prefer going home with the big amount of money.
Rakhi would then be told about their decision. She would do the usual crying and yelling and would try to gain audience sympathy.
Paris vs Rakhi: How their assets compare
It’s the battle of the it girls – one being a socialite, and the other putting the IT in item girl. Yes, we’re talking about media darlings Paris Hilton and
Rakhi Sawant. The duo have dominated the headlines recently; what with Hilton coming to Dubai to find a best friend and Sawant currently looking for a husband on a reality television show.
Hilton has the famous name and the connections but Sawant is a household name for India’s 1.1 billion population; plus, most of rural India only associates Hilton with a hotel chain, while some don’t even care.
So if the two personalities had to face off, who’s savvy enough to remain in the limelight for years to come? Emirates Business pits the two against each other.
Paris Hilton
Claim to fame
Paris Hilton began modelling as a child, and at aged 19, signed with modelling agency, T Management before moving onto other agencies.
In 2001, the blonde started to build a reputation as a socialite, but shot to fame three years later when an x-rated video of her with ex-boyfriend Rick Salomon was leaked onto the internet. It was later released on DVD as 1 Night in Paris, hosted by Salomon. Clearly inheriting good business genes, Hilton sued Salomon, but the suit was settled when she was offered $400,000 (Dh1.4 million) and a percentage of the DVD’s profits.
Brand building
Don’t let the cute, dumb blonde act fool you. She may be known as being “famous for being famous”, but business-wise, Hilton has achieved more than most celebs her age.
It started out with her reality TV series with former friend Nicole Richie, The Simple Life, which subsequently built her younger teen girl fanbase. After falling out with Richie, Hilton returned with her own show My New BFF, with the heiress looking for a new best friend forever. So far, four seasons have been produced; the most recent in Dubai, which is set to air at the end of the year. Hilton has also bagged roles on the big screen, in films such as House of Wax and Repo! The Genetic Opera.
Then there’s a singing career. She founded Heiress Records in 2004 and released a self-titled album in 2006. She is working on a second album. And she also writes books, including Confessions of an Heiress: A Tongue-in-Chic Peek Behind the Pose.
If that’s not enough, Hilton works on a range of other products, comprising handbags, jewellery, perfume, hair extensions and womenswear. Here, she launched her store, Paris Hilton at Festival City, as well as her collection at Salam, Wafi.
Asset management
According to the plastic surgery website Makemeheal.com, Hilton underwent two nose jobs; one in 2001 and the second in 2004. She is also said to have undergone eyelid surgery to lift her eyelids, but the muscles of her left eye were damaged during the procedure, leading to her droopy left eyelid. She is apparently planning another operation to correct this.
Network
She has a strong network of family members. She is the daughter of Richard and Kathy Hilton, and her grandfather is Barron Hilton whose parents were Hilton Hotels’ founder Conrad Hilton and Mary Barron.
Hilton was friends with Nicole Richie and Kim Kardashian, and went to school with Lady Gaga. She has had many famous boyfriends including Greek shipping heirs Paris Latsis and Stavros Niarchos III, as well as Good Charlotte guitarist Benji Madden.
Liabilities
Fame comes at a price, and everything Hilton does gets reported instantly. Her most well-known incident is when she was sent to prison for 45 days for violating her probation on a DUI offence. The heiress has also been robbed twice. In 2004, her beloved dog, Tinkerbell was stolen, but was found six days later. Then in 2008, her LA home was broken into and $2m worth of items were stolen.
Future prospects
The world is Hilton’s oyster at the moment, and we reported on the frenzy surrounding her trip to Dubai, everybody wants a piece of Paris.
While it remains to be seen what Hilton is going to come up with next, the star has expressed interest in investing in property in the UAE. She also wants to do versions of MY New BFF show in Canada, Australia and Europe, which will expand her brand in those regions. However, we reckon she should travel to areas such as India, where even bigger business could be made. Perhaps she and Sawant could join forces in the future..
Claim to fame
The rags-to-riches story of
Rakhi Sawant could bring a tear to your eye. After allegedly being forced to have sex with a male relative for money, aged 12, to save her mother’s life, Sawant realised early on that the weak have no place in this world. By the time she hit her teens, she had turned into a brazen woman, raising eyebrows in risqué pop videos and Bollywood dance numbers, such as the superhit bikini-clad item song from 2003′s Chura Liya Hai Tumne.
She later set her sights on TV and stormed onto Sony Entertainment Television’s Bigg Boss reality show in 2006, based on the United Kingdom’s Celebrity Big Brother. Fans loved her so much that after being voted out by her housemates, she was brought back by an audience poll.
Brand building
Bollywood actress Neha Dhupia once said only sex and Shah Rukh Khan sell in India. Sawant apparently took this to heart by slipping into skimpy clothes and, er, not much else, to brand herself into a sultry diva; a sex video like Paris Hilton’s was not possible in conservative India.
Big Boss was a stepping stone for Sawant, who later that year did what most struggling celebrities do: release a pop music album; unfortunately for her, Supergirl didn’t have much power.
As India’s fascination with reality TV grew in 2007, the ever-savvy Sawant danced her way into Star Plus’s Nach Baliye. She continued her run on the idiot box with Zoom TV’s The
Rakhi Sawant Show, where she chatted to Bollywood stars.
The next move was to host a show like Hilton’s.
Rakhi Ka Swayamvar tore a page out of the American socialite’s My New BFF book and took the concept further by forgoing a new friend for a husband. The NDTV Imagine show has posted record viewership, even resulting in an online game. Meanwhile, celebrity designer Farah Ali Khan is creating a necklace worth Rs3 million (Dh224,000) for Sawant on her wedding day; the bridal outfit is being designed by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s favourite, Neeta Lulla. It seems Sawant has arrived.
Asset management
Showbiz is all about image building, and Sawant realised this a lot earlier than most. Rumoured to have had 55 plastic surgeries to enhance her assets, the 30-year-old was outed by pop rival Nandinii Jumani, aka Krazy Kat, who recently said at a press conference: “Rakhi is fake… she has plastic surgery done on her face, 55 jobs, to enhance her physique and wears clothes and opens her mouth for effect.”
When Sawant was quizzed about turning into Miz Plastic Fantastic, she said: “No human can undergo that many plastic surgeries. I’ve had a breast surgery done, but had them removed when I went on Nach Baliye because they hurt while dancing.”
Network
It can be quite lonely at the top and Sawant has repeatedly said that people have used her name and fame to get ahead in their careers, including former boyfriend Abhishek Awasthi.
Sawant does count director-producer Karan Johar as a close friend. Yet, their relationship seems limited to appearances on each other’s chat shows: Sawant appeared on Johar’s Koffee With Karan and Johar jumped on her couch in The
Rakhi Sawant Show. Yes, we see a mutual admiration society here.
Liabilities
Sawant has courted controversy from the moment she stepped into Bollywood. Her checkered past includes dancing at bachelor parties and stripping on TV – albeit under a bed sheet.
Then came the Mika kiss controversy when the singer forced himself on Sawant at his birthday party in 2006. She lodged a complaint against him but the case fizzled out.
Now her media madness has brought her on international TV to find a husband. But insiders say this is yet another publicity stunt. Can Sawant ever get public approval?
Future prospects
Indian actresses have long struggled with the stereotype that an audience lose interest in married stars.
Will Sawant suffer the same fate? And does she even care?
We can’t answer on the former, but a look at her TV show sees a much more demure Sawant. Her loud and skimpy outfits have made way for traditional Indian dresses, making critics remark that Bollywood item songs may just have lost their reigning queen.
The verdict
In this celebrity deathmatch, Paris Hilton clearly emerges victorious thanks to her Hilton name and connections, which have resulted in the success of her TV?show and the fashion brand; can’t say the same about her films or her music though.
But we doubt the heiress would have survived the mean streets of Mumbai and raised her name in the spotlight like
Rakhi Sawant has from the slums.
So by popular vote in the Emirates Business offices, Sawant gets the special Slumdog Millionaire prize. That should count for something.
