Rakhi’s TV show ‘kills’ youth

Rakhi Sawant’s agony aunt act on her reality TV show Rakhi Ka Insaaf has gone horribly wrong with a participant she had called ‘impotent’ committing suicide later.Lakshman, who appeared on the show with his wife to resolve his marital dispute, apparently went home depressed. Rakhi, the show’s host, had harshly called him impotent in front of the studio audience.

The channel, Imagine, chose not to edit out her comments when the episode went on air.

The show ended with Lakshman being held ‘guilty’ and his wife refusing to reconcile with him. Later, reports came that Lakshman was dead. His family alleged that Lakshman was depressed after the episode and committed suicide.

But Imagine offered a different version of the events. It claimed Lakshman had drunk himself to death.

“From what we have gathered, Lakshman came back home quite drunk and fell sick shortly afterwards. He was admitted to hospital and passed away soon after. There has been no case of suicide/FIR registered by the local police or the hospital, which would be mandatory in a case of suicide. At this point, we would like to express our anguish at this untimely and unfortunate event,” an official statement by the channel said.

So did Rakhi – known to be a motormouth to gain publicity – cross the line or is the channel to blame?

Kiran Bedi, ex-IPS officer and host of a similar show on Star Plus, put the onus on the channel.

“The anchor is just an instrument. This isn’t a live show and the scissors rest with the editor. The channel should explain the reasons behind allowing such language to go on air,” Bedi said.

“Channels have the responsibility of providing clean and ethical programmes,” she said.

Psychologist Sameer Vohra questioned the logic behind allowing celebrities to play counsellors. “Whatever is being said (during such TV shows) is being watched by millions, and that itself can be perceived by a participant in a very negative way,” Vohra said.

“Someone who is just a celebrity and not qualified to handle counselling should not be allowed to handle such complicated real-life issues,” he said.

War between Shilpa and Rakhi scorches the small screen

Bollywood diva Shilpa Shetty, despite having made it big in many events, has never really been a top star.
Recently on the show of ‘Zara Nach Ke Dikha’, The item girl Rakhi Sawant declared:
“Even Sachin Tendulkar is out on zero at times.”

Shilpa was clearly stumped, but her co-judge Arshad Warsi came to her rescue.
“When Sachin scores a zero, he is credited zero runs on the scoreboard too. You should keep that in mind,” he told Rakhi.

Another publicity stunt from Rakhi Sawant?

Fiery starlet fights with musician ishQ Bector on stage

True to the title of their new music album ‘Jhagde’, the catty Rakhi Sawant and the wacky singer-composer-lyricist ishQ Bector got embroiled in a strange spat on stage recently.

During the launch of their second video titled ‘Bhoot”, Rakhi and ishQ began an impromptu conversation to entertain the cheering crowd at a shopping mall in Mumbai (pictured).

All was well till Rakhi urged the public “to buy original CDs,” while ishQ, popularly known as India’s mad-max music import from Canada, retorted, “love is free – music should be free too. Even if you have to resort to piracy on the Internet, make sure you listen to, and share the songs.”

This began an argument between them. Initially, people thought the dramatic tiff was being staged to create hype for the album. But when it started going out of hand, it dawned upon everyone that the spat was happening for real.

Soon, the unintentional tiff got out of hand, while the audiences enjoyed every bit of the public display of emotions and ethics. It is only when Rakhi and ishQ got off the stage, is when they realised the absurdity and futility of their public ‘jhagde’.

Luckily, without creating more fuss, they whispered some sweet-nothings, hugged and made-up, as the officials from Pen Music, who released the album, heaved a sigh of relief.

Rakhi Sawant’s mom Jaya evicted from “Bigg Boss”

New Delhi, Item girl Rakhi Sawant’s mother Jaya Friday became the first to be evicted from the “Bigg Boss” house. And her exit from the reality show was as dramatic as her entry.

When Jaya’s name was announced as the evicted participant of this week, she shed silent tears and seemed extremely disappointed. She nevertheless hugged some of the contestants and even blessed comedian Raju Srivastav when he touched her feet.

Jaya had shocked all and sundry when she was welcomed by host, Bollywood megastar Amitabh Bachchan, as one of the 13 contestants of the show Sunday.

Apart from being the most unexpected participant, she also revealed her motive of going into the show – making peace with her daughter Rakhi. But alas, she didn’t get much time in the “Bigg Boss” house.

Her age and non-celebrity background became a major drawback for her in the five days that she was on the show. While she was the oldest participant, Jaya was also laughed at for her lifestyle and her failed attempts at singing and dancing.

On more than one occasion, she was also seen praying to Jesus to help her get Rakhi back. But none of it convinced her co-participants Shamita Shetty, Vindu Dara Singh, Raju Srivastav, Tanaaz Currim, Claudia Ciesla, Aditi Gowitrikar, Bhaktiyaar Irani and Rohit Verma from nominating her for eviction.

They felt she was “out of place”, “less lively” and “uncomfortable” in the presence of a much younger crowd.

The final decision, however, depended on viewer’s votes.

Before leaving, Jaya was asked to nominate one person who she felt spent most of the time in dressing up each day. And she chose fashion designer Rohit Verma. As a result, he will now have to dress up simply for the next week.

“Bigg Boss 3″, the third season of the Indian version of popular international show “Big Brother”, has various celebrity participants locked inside a specially designed house for 84 days. They give up a life of luxury to be under 24X7 camera surveillance for the show.

Rakhi Sawant selects her life partner

Toronto-based Elesh Parujanwala wins the unique reality show

India's first televised 'swayamvar' concluded in Mumbai late on Sunday (August 2) with item girl Rakhi Sawant choosing Toronto-based Elesh Parujanwala as her life partner in a unique reality TV show.

In NDTV Imagine's "Rakhi Ka Swayamvar", Rakhi made the final choice from the three finalists - from the original list of 16 contestants in 26 episodes. The other two finalists were young aspirant Manas Katyal and businessman Chhitiz Jain, both from New Delhi.

"I have been watching Elesh from day one. On and off the camera, he has been the same and has really taken care of me. He is everything I was looking for and I am glad to have found him on the Swayamvar. The swayamvar means finding a jeevan saathi (life partner) and I have found Elesh.

"Today is our engagement. I am ready to get married now, but we need to understand each other better off camera. We will soon get married in front of all of you in keeping with all our traditions," Rakhi said after announcing her choice to a waiting audience across the country.

Decked up in red and gold lehenga-choli by Neeta Lulla and kundan jewellery, Rakhi looked a perfect bride.

Elesh, Manas and Chhitiz too were dressed for the occasion - in traditional sherwanis and turbans.

In the dramatic finale, she garlanded Elesh - as the audience clapped on.

The colourful event, held at the Hotel Leela Kampinski, saw a host of celebrities like choreographer Saroj Khan, actors Ravi Kishen and Ram Kapoor, who posed as brothers to the bride, apart from others like Smita Bansal and Sudha Shivpuri in the audience.

Will Rakhi Sawant get married on August 2

Despite rumours that NDTV Imagine channel’s reality show “Rakhi Ka Swayamvar” is rigged, Rakhi has reportedly said that she really is getting married on August 2 to one of the three final contestants.

Rakhi apparently has already made up her mind about which of the three she will marry.

According to sources from the channel, she is most likely to tie the knot with Canada-based businessman Elesh Parujanwala. She has even confessed the same to some of her friends.

Her bridal outfit is designed by Neeta Lulla and her jewellery by Farah Khan Ali.

Rakhi has said that it is for real that she is getting married. She also said that she will never fake an institution like marriage as she has seen her own parents’ marriage break.

Speaking about her family’s presence at the wedding, she said that she will be the only one from her side. She said that she has broken all ties with her mother and she is now her past.

After marrige Rakhi and Elesh plan to get back to their respective work in their respective cities, Mumbai and Toronto. Though Rakhi is said to have got her Canadian visa and will be travelling to Toronto to meet his parents after her August 2 wedding. Elesh also reportedly wants to buy property in Mumbai to set up a second home there.

However, there could also be a twist in the story, as has been reported in some sections of the media.

According to these reports, Rakhi will not marry anyone as she’s having doubts about choosing her groom and is looking for an exit from the show without a husband. To make that possible, the producers are said to have given a twist to the show. The three finalists will be asked to choose between Rakhi and money, and apparently they will choose cash and leave the show.

Rani-Rakhi Sawant item number in DBH!

The Rani Mukherjee-Rakhi Sawant connection began with the movie Saawariya. The resemblance between Rani Mukherjee’s character in the movie and Rakhi Sawant was quite obvious to all. Now, Rani is all set to perform an item number in her upcoming flick Dil Bole Hadippa! with none other than the original item girl of Bollywood – Rakhi Sawant.

The song is a Punjabi track composed by Pritam and is called ‘Bhangra Bistar’. It has been sung by Sunidhi Chauhan and Alisha Chinai, the lucky mascots for Yash Raj Films who gave the hits ‘Kajrare’ in Bunty Aur Babli and ‘Dhoom Machale’ in Dhoom.

As stated by a source, “As Rani is dressed like a man for the major part of the film, the idea was to get Rani to do that one sizzling feminine number to balance the gender bender. Just like Saira Banu did a ‘Thoda sa thehro’ in Victoria No. 203 where she was dressed as man, Rani has ‘Bhangra bistar’ in Dil Bole Hadippa!”

The dusky beauty Rani is concentrating on shaping herself up before they begin to rehearse for the song. She is viewing the dance with the hot Rakhi as a challenge. The movie is slated to release in September 2009.

Rani, go for it, girl!

A source from the sets said, "Daler Mehendi and Mika have been roped in for an episode of 10 Ka Dum . They were asked: how many people think that Rakhi Sawant can be a good wife? Salman asked his guests for their opinion. Mika, who has an ugly history with Rakhi, made faces and rude comments about her. Salman is known to stand up for women and told him that he should not make fun of her. Salman said that he is aware how hard Rakhi has worked to be where she is.
