Here's a look at Rakhi Sawant's controversial love life

Rakhi Sawant's love life has always been in the news, often for the drama that the actress creates. Currently, there was a raging controversy over her marriage to beau Adil Durrani! But a few hours back it got resolved with Adil finally admitting that Rakhi is his wife. Here's a look at Rakhi's relationships that have made news for over a decade now...

​Rakhi and Adil's marriage controversy

Recently she cried in front of the media saying she doesn't know why Adil was refusing to admit that they were married. “I got married to Adil in July last year after three months of knowing him. We had a nikah ceremony and a court marriage. Since he stopped me from disclosing it, I remained tightlipped for the past seven months. Now he isn't acknowledging our marriage," she said. Adil has now finally admitted; in an instagram post, he said, "I never said I am not married to you Rakhi, Just had to handle a few things so had to be quiet."

​Rakhi and Adil's relationship began all of a sudden

It all started when in June, Rakhi made a video call to Adil at a public event and announced her relationship. Adil, who is six years younger to Rakhi, also gifted her a car after which they started dating. The two were then spotted together multiple times by the paparazzi. They even became part of a music video. Soon, some drama followed. Around November 2022, she accused Adil of assaulting her, but later she said it wasn't true. Now of course, after their shaadi controversy, it seems like all is well... until, of course, next drama begins!

​Rakhi's 'Ritesh' fiasco

For many years, she kept telling the world that she was married to someone called Ritesh. Finally, she entered the Bigg Boss 15 house two years ago with somebody who she introduced as Ritesh. Later it was found that he was already married with kids. Soon after the show was over, Rakhi split with Ritesh saying he has kids, something she wasn't aware of earlier.

5/7

Staged drama with Deepak Kalal

Another publicity stunt was a press conference in 2018, when she said that she would marry comedian Deepak Kalal. Of course, nobody believed her and eventually Deepak and she had a fall-out after which they started hitting out at each other on social media.

Rakhi slapped beau Abhishek Awasthi on V-Day

Many years ago, Rakhi Sawant was dating actor Abhishek Awasthi. The ex-couple was also part of dance reality show Nach Baliye 3. Their relationship ended on a sour note; in 2011, on Valentine's day, Rakhi slapped Abhishek in front of the media after she found out that he was cheating on her.

7/7

Rakhi Ka Swayamwar

Somewhere in 2009, Rakhi Ka Swayamwar took place on national television. On the reality show, she met NRI Elesh Parujanwala. He was the chosen one. However, a few months later, the two broke off citing compatibility issues. That's when people started saying the show was entirely staged.
