Rakhi Sawant's ex-Ritesh Singh clarifies they never met in London, calls Adil Khan Durrani 'neech insaan'; Top 10 revelations from her press conference

Rakhi Sawant held a press conference in Mumbai on Tuesday to counter all the allegations that were made by Adil Khan Durrani a day ago. She clarified the religion she follows, accused him of raping her and exposed his ambitions of wanting to enter showbiz through her. Here are the top 10 revelations that she made today.

Rakhi clarifies accusations about her religion

She said, "I was born into a Hindu family. My mom started to believe in Jesus. We aren't born Christians. But with mom, the whole household is attached. So I started to believe in Jesus too. But I got married to a Muslim guy. So after shaadi, isn't it my duty to follow Islam, respect it by reading namaz? I was taught how to read namaz by Adil. They question my religion but this is my truth. Adil used to beat me and it started a month after our marriage. But I am Rakhi Sawant, a controversial girl. Who will believe me?"

Rakhi accuses Adil of raping her

Rakhi revealed that it was Shelly, who introduced her to Adil. She said, "Shelly wanted to do business with me. I had a property and she wanted to open a clinic. She said, 'Rakhi, you move around in a small car. It doesn't look nice. I want to give you a car'. Adil had a small business of second hand cars. Shelly was in touch with him. She asked me to come to Mysore for the car. I told her to send the car to Mumbai but Adil insisted that I come there. He had made a plan to trap me. I took my brother Rajiv with me. I had asked Adil to book two rooms but he made sure they were apart. Adil came to my room. Somebody he knew came there and locked us from outside. And I shouldn't tell you more. There are three witnesses to this - Uorfi Javed, Shelly and Rajeev. It took him three hours to tear my clothes. I decided to go to the police station and file a complaint. I called Uorfi and asked her what to do. She was my best friend then. She said, 'I will send you a car, you come, we will get your hotel changed'. The next day, they were giving the new car to me. I wasn't talking to anyone. I told Shelly the truth. Adil said, 'Don't be sad, you are a nice girl, I want to marry you and live with you'. It changed my heart.

Rakhi says they got married in Goa but due to lack of witnesses she didn't get a certificate

In Goa, Rakhi claimed that she threatened Adil to get married to her else she would expose what he did to her. She added he got two maulanas who got them married in a hotel room. However, after the marriage, she was refused a certificate. She said, "I asked Maulana for a certificate. He said, 'Immediately nahi dete, tumhare gawah nahi hai'. I didn't know that. Adil went back to Mysore. I kept asking Maulana ji for a certificate even after reaching Mumbai. But Adil strictly asked him not to do that. I want the Maulanas to come out." The actress also added, "I have a video, in Mysore, Adil kept a gun on his temple and said that he is troubled by Shelly, Abbas bhai and Mysore people. He told me to take him to Mumbai since he is my shohar else I will go to hell. Ek rupaya lekar nahi aaya...fukra, bhikhari, Adil Khan Durrani.

Rakhi reveals Adil knew her age, her mental state after break-up with Ritesh

She shared, "Adil knew the truth. We had video calls for a month with me. He knew I was older to him by 7 years. Tab pyaar ki baatein karta tha. Humare mein sunnat hai badi aurat se shaadi karna. I told him I am depressed due to separation with Ritesh. He told me that we will settle down together, start a new life like Nick and Priyanka. He trapped me. Whether I was married to Ritesh or not, he will tell himself."

Ritesh joins the PC, supports Rakhi by calling her 'loyal'

Ritesh Singh too joined the PC in support of Rakhi. He said, "My first question is why is the video not with the police. He is trying to create a scandal by speaking to the media. How Rakhi and I met is already known. He smartly used everything against Rakhi, he has intentionally used things against Rakhi. It was a plan set by him to gain publicity and become famous. Rakhi was very loyal towards him. I am in support of her. She is a friend, is loyal and speaks the truth." He also clarified that he wasn't in London when Rakhi visited the country. He showed his passport too.

Ritesh calls Adil a 'liar'

Ritesh said that Adil is a liar for claiming they met in London. Regarding talking to Adil, Ritesh said, "I called Rakhi, he picked it up. Woh neech kisam ka insaan hai. Usse gira hua insaan koi nahi ho sakta. Adil ab teri ladai Ritesh Singh Rajput se hai. Yeh banda smartly Rakhi ko phasaya, usko alag kiya hai. When Rakhi told me ki hum break up kar rahe hain, she was crying. She said mujhe woh pyaar nahi mila. Adil took the phone and said 'We have done everything, got married'. I told her to be happy. Adil asked me to stay away." Ritesh agrees to come to court to say the truth. He showed chats where he has conversed with Rakhi. He said, "She told me that he beats her. I have all proofs. I never gave money to Rakhi, we have never been in contact. I was focusing on my work."

Rakhi exposes Adil's fake business, calls him a 'criminal'

Rakhi said, "In Mysore, Adil sells one car four times, alag alag stamp laga ke. Aap Mysore chaliye mere saath. We will go to those people who have got cars from him twice or thrice, jaali paper banake, bank mein loan lete hain, from where they get fake stamps, mysore chaliye in his area. He is a criminal."

9/11

Rakhi accuses him of beating her

Rakhi said, "Adil told me, 'I will drive you crazy, I will get sympathy from others'. I have worked hard to be here by doing reality shows and item numbers. I don't want controversy but it happens with me somehow. He has taken advantage of that. He has met everyone from Bollywood. The whole of Abu Dhabi is a witness. Salman hugged him. I had introduced Adil to him. He had asked him to take care of me."

Rakhi claims she was pregnant after coming out of Bigg Boss Marathi

Rakhi said, "He denied our marriage. I was pregnant then. He mentally tortured me. My mother was in the hospital. I had just come out of Bigg Boss Marathi when I learnt about his girlfriends, I got into stress. I started bleeding. Miscarriage happened. I went to the doctor. He kept saying nothing had happened. I didn't abort the child. He tortured me so much that I miscarried. He has so many cases against him but he targeted me. He wanted to do Ekta Kapoor's show and become a star. I am a Muslim. I care for Islam, Not like him, he is a 'nalla'. He could have told me that it's wrong to keep a hand on the Quran without dupatta. When I threatened to expose him and go with proof to the police station, he used to swear on the Quran and lie to me. I used to beg him to do namaz. Uski wajah se Muslim log badnaam hai."

Rakhi says she has not got any money from Adil Khan Durrani

Rakhi said, "You can come to my house. I am hearing all these brands for the first time. I can't even pronounce. I want to ask him if his card works internationally. It never used to work. I used to pay. Rizwan bhai, Danube in Dubai, you can take my bank account statements. I have paid from my account. You can see if Adil has put any money in it. He never spent any money on me. For award night there, he used to take money from people around Rs 2 lakh. He bought me a fake necklace from a mall for 2000 dirhams to show his status to other people. I didn't know what was on his mind then. Car was given to me by Shelly and Raja Ram. It doesn't work, mein auto mein ghoomti hun. It's a bad car. Adil Khan Durrani gareeb hai." She also accused him of robbing her of Rs 10 lakhs when she went to Bigg Boss Marathi.
