Reasons why we cannot ignore Rakhi Sawant

Rakhi Sawant 'loves' controversy queen tag: Bollywood actress and item girl Rakhi Sawant, known for being outspoken and blunt, says she likes the “controversy queen” tag. “I always believe in speaking my mind. And if that gets me in the eye of the world then so be it. I’m not just comfortable being called the controversy queen, but I totally love it. People always see what I am in real life,” Rakhi, who will feature on actor Ronit Roy's family game show “Deal or No Deal”, said in a statement. The episode of “Deal or No Deal” featuring Rakhi will be aired on Sunday. On the film front, Rakhi will be next seen in 'Ek Kahaani Julie Ki', based on the Sheena Bora murder mystery. She will play the character of prime accused Indrani Mukherjea in the film.

Trust Rakhi Sawant to make you raise your eyebrows whenever she makes a statement. In a recent interaction with the media at an event, the outspoken Rakhi detested her comparison with adult film star-turned-Bollywood actress Sunny Leone. She said that she can be compared to the likes of Jennifer Lopez and Madonna, but not Sunny Leone. "Please don't compare me with Sunny Leone because I have achieved (my popularity) by dancing, performing, doing reality shows and also by winning hearts of the audiences. I haven't done any adult film or anything else to achieve this. I hope you all understand," said Rakhi.

While Rakhi continues to make bolder statements every time, read further to know how she expressed her love for cricketer Virat Kohli...

In a statement given to the media, Bollywood’s mirchi Rakhi Sawant confessed her love for cricketer Virat Kohli after the latter confessed his love for actress Anushka Sharma. But Rakhi went a bit too far in doing so. As she declared her love for the cricketer, she said that she wanted Virat Kohli to make her lips swell like Anushka’s. She quipped that if Virat has made Anushka’s lips swell, then he can make hers too!

Apparently, Anushka is yet to accept her relationship with Virat, but Rakhi Sawant has grabbed all the attention by expressing her ‘love’ for the young cricketer.

While this might just seem to be another Rakhi Sawant antic, the item number queen has many more to her credit. Let's take a look at what happened when Rakhi enacted the drama from the Bigg Boss house in a comedy show…

What happens when drama queens Rakhi Sawant and Dimpy Mahajan come together under one roof? In the upcoming episode of Comedy Classes, both the actresses who are known for their loud behaviour, will have the audience in splits as they enact the drama from the Bigg Boss house. They will play the contestants from the controversial reality show along with comedians Bharti Singh and Siddharth.

While we are sure that Rakhi and Dimpy together will bring the house down on Comedy Classes with their wit and humour, read further to know about her plans to work with Ekta Kapoor...

Rakhi Sawant may have not been successful as a politician but she is nonplussed even as she moves on to newer avenues. The actress who is known for her raunchy item numbers, now wants to work in a daily soap. According to a report in Hindustan Times, the actress admits that she is participating in Ekta's cricket reality show because she wants to make Ekta happy. Her motivation for making the czarina of television happy is simply the fact that she wants to star in her show. She emphasises that she is ready to do any kind of role. However, she admits, rather sheepishly, that she still hasn't spoken to the producer-director about this but plans on doing so, soon. The report also quotes her as saying that she loves Ekta as she is a self-made woman and she is inpsired by her. When asked about her political career, she asserts that she isn't cut out for the field and maintains that she will never return to politics.

While the actress is often lambasted for her unabashed comments, she can definitely not be ignored. Read on to know why...

The first reason why we cannot ignore her is her drama. She makes sure that each and everything that she does, should create an element of drama. In short, she calls the media for anything she does. That's the reason why she is also known as 'Media ki beti'. Or maybe she is just honest to call the media and share her life events every time there's something exciting happening in her life.

The second reason why we cannot ignore Rakhi Sawant is her honesty. Rakhi Sawant has no qualms about speaking her mind. She’ll say it as it is – good or bad. She’d rather be honest than diplomatic. Rakhi Sawant is too honest to be true. Her deeds and her words come straight from the heart. In short, she doesn't shy away from calling a spade, a spade! The lady has also openly commented about the channel on which she was hosting a show that they remembered her only when they were losing out on viewers and that too when she was sitting in the press conference of the same show. Rakhi is always too honest in her comments.

The third reason is the fact that she is shrouded in controversies. Her controversial statements often lands her in a soup but she never minces her words while saying what she believes is correct. She is a straight-forward woman with a 'bindaas' attitude. This fearless attitude of the drama queen mostly drags her into a majority of controversies. She isn't intimidated by anyone and will do only what she feels is right. She speaks what she feels and does not fear the consequences that mostly helped her to make headlines and always be in the media for some or the other reasons. That's the reason why she walked away from the Nach Baliye finale in a huff, leaving Salman Khan high and dry.

Rakhi's affairs have always fetched her publicity. Be it Elesh, her choice of guy from her televised swayamvar or Abhishek Awasthi, her ex-boyfriend, whom she slapped in front of the media. Though Elesh has vanished from the industry, Abhishek Awasthi still speaks about his dreadful past as Rakhi's boyfriend. On the other hand Rakhi's statement expressing her desire to marry Yoga guru Ram Dev Baba really amused everyone. She also commented on Ramdev Baba's virginity and his style of blinking his eyes. Mika Singh's kissing episode that involved her, is also one of the many controversies that haunt the actress.

Her raunchy videos and dance moves are anything but ignore-worthy. One must not forget that Rakhi is an extremely talented dancer. She might have created a sexy image of herself in the industry, but she has the grace to carry it on-screen and that's the reason why she shot to fame with her first video album 'Pardesiya'. All in all, she loves what she does and also agrees that people like to see her just because of the notorious things she does. She knows the fact that 20 years down the line she won't be in demand for the roles she does now, so why not grab as much as attention before everything fades away.
