Rakhi went visibly pale when Grover and Kaushik started their jig.
This time the item queen isn't in the mood to forgive and forget. "I went blank when I saw them. My heartbeats stopped. If they had warned me about what they were going to do I wouldn't have come to watch from the audience.
I became so tense anything could've happened to me. Then what would have happened to my act which followed this piece of unauthorized dirty dancing?"
Rakhi openly accuses her colleagues on Nach Baliye of catty behaviour. "They're trying their best to demoralize me. I'm in a bad state. If it's not fellow-dancers like Karan then it's Kasmira Shah giving me hell.
The kind of names and comments I get would make any other girl give up.My partner Abhishek tells me to ignore all this.
But when you rehearse for a week and then just before your act you're shaken by someone trying to belittle you, then it does seem like sabotage. Karan and his partner could have done anything in the ched-chad special. Why pick on something from my life?"
Adds Rakhi, "In the same episode Abhishek and I replicated Gopi Krishna and Sandhyaji's immortal dance number Ja ri hat natkhat from Navrang. There's a decency to be observed even when doing ched-chad on stage. I felt very bad.
If the other contestants don't have it in them to do something so classical, why be openly jealous? I praise the other contestants on their face even when they dance badly. No one encourages me. Very frankly, Abhishek and I don't need anyone encouragement.
No one was there for me when I started out. Producers would openly ask me to sleep with them. I had to hear vulgar comments and vulgar propositions. I've kicked and crawled up.
And I will do my best for my boyfriend. I want Abhishek to be a breadearner like me so we can walk through life shoulder to shoulder."
Rakhi is determined to bear the digs on Nach Baliye. "If not for my sake then my boyfriend's. This is his last chance, and I won't allow it to be ruined. People thought I could only do item songs with that Navrang number I've proved Rakhi Sawant can be traditional and classical."
She has currently set side her entire career for Nach Baliye. "There's no time for anything else. We get one week to prepare for every episode. Within that period we've to make sure we're the best.
And then the last thing I need is for other contestants to pull me down. They say an item girl can never be an icon. That really hurts. Am I not a humanbeing. Don't I have dreams? All the contestants are secretly working against me all the time

Kasmera giving me hell:Rakhi

Spotlight: Actresses Fighting With 'Boobs'
This sounds something inappropriate but we are writing the same terms as the actresses have used same terms in public. We are saying about Rakhi Sawanth who got her breast implants removed as they affected her while dancing. She said that she felt painful while dancing because of implants. Hence she got them removed.
She participated in a dance show with 'removed implant breast' and Kashmeera commented her saying that she cannot be noticed now as she has no 'assets'. But Rakhi and her boy friend fired back saying that it is the talent that matters but not the vital stats.
Rakhi's boy friend Abhishek also says that he would have knocked out on the face if that was told by any man. 'Since it was comment between lady and lady I kept silent without giving job to my muscle' he added.
Kashmira on the other hand along with her partner Krushna said, "I don't know why Rakhi misunderstood me. I never look up any lady with big assets, and never look down any with removed implants. I simply said that there is change in her which turned hard to recognize for me".
She also said that it is the competitive fight between Rakhi and she and she would face it in sportive manner and prove what she is. Rakhi also countered in similar way making that dance show a reality one.

Rakhi Sawanth
Item girl Rakhi Sawant, who has signed a new semi-autobiographical Broadway-style Bollywood musical called Balti Devi: Queen Of Southall, is looking for an image makeover.
'If I want I can make people weep like Meena Kumari. I live in India and I do feel uncomfortable with my image sometimes. Whatever I've done so far is because the public demanded it. It's the public that's undressing me,' Rakhi told IANS in an interview.
'Heroines send me SMS messages asking why I dress up the way I do. What right do they have to question me? Why can't a nice clean film like Swami click? And why can't I be cast in roles like Smita Patil? Even she did hot scenes,' she added.
Her much-touted stint in Buddha Mar Gaya died a quiet death.
Talking about the film, she said: 'I'm made to behave and dress in a certain way because of who I am. I was pulled up for making love with older men like Anupam Kherji, Om Puriji and Prem Chopraji in Buddha Mar Gaya. If I did the same way scenes with Shah Rukh Khan, people would applaud.'
Rakhi's semi-autobiographical musical will be directed by the legendary Shammi Kapoor's son Mickey Kapoor, who earlier made Sambar Salsa and Don't Stop Dreaming.
Balti Devi is the story of a poor Southall girl who dances and sings her way to stardom.
'It's a story almost like Rakhi's own. And she's so perfect for the part. I couldn't think of anyone else. Rakhi gets to sing and dance. She's the male Govinda and this film showcases her aptitudes,' said Mickey.
All said and done, Rakhi loves the media attention.
'Even when they write wrong about me I've no complaints. Like they wrote that I'd bring my own clothes from home for Buddha Mar Gaya. Not true at all. In fact, I was really uncomfortable in the red gown where almost my entire breasts were revealed.
'I used to quarrel with my director every day about the clothes. Everyone on the sets ogled at my breasts on the sets. I'm shameless otherwise. But sometimes when people ogle I do get uncomfortable. I am a woman, after all.'
What Rakhi wants is to be a housewife.
But she confessed: 'I don't want to get married. I've struggled so much to get where I am. What will I do after marriage? I want to establish my boyfriend Abhishek. I'll make him a star. You watch us in Nach Baliye 3. Although I've big problems with my back and knees, I'm doing this show only for Abhishek.
'People will forget Nach Baliye and Jhalak Dikhla Jaa. They'll only talk about Rakhi and Abhishek. So far I've danced to other people's tunes. Now I'll dance to the rhythms that run inside me. I want to become world famous. In fact, I got an international offer for which I learnt English. But I refused it.'
She also wants to be known as an all-rounder.
'Watch me in Mickey Kapoor's film and also in Suniel Shetty's production. I want to be known as an all-rounder, a girl who can dance, act and also make mincemeat of all the competition in a reality show.'

I can die for Rakhi & also kill for her!
So sure is this muscle man about his eternal love for Rakhi that he recently got her name tattooed on his right arm.
Says an excited Abhishek: "I had seen many Hollywood actors tattoo their partners' names on their bodies. So I told Rakhi about my desire to do the same. But she thought that I was joking and warned that I shouldn't even think of doing it."
But serious that Abhishek is about the relationship, he went right ahead and got the tattoo done from Al's in Bandra. The six-hour-long procedure left Abhishek with a blood splattered arm and in much pain. Although he had also wanted to add colours to the tattoo, the pain was getting unbearable so he dropped the idea.
However, Rakhi's name has been tattooed in such a complicated writing that one has to observe very closely to make it out.
Rakhi's excitement knew no bounds when she saw her name tattooed on boyfriend Abhishek. "She was shocked, but very happy too. She never imagined that I would do this for her. All my pain was gone when I saw so much of happiness on her face. I just want to see her happy at any cost and I will go out of my way to see her happy."
Now if that sounded like lines from a typical Bollywood potboiler, there is more to come. Dismissing chances of a break-up, Abhishek says: "I am not going to part ways with Rakhi, as I cannot think of any other option beyond her. Main Rakhi ke liye jaan de bhi sakta hoon, le bhi sakta hoon (I can die for Rakhi and also kill for her). I am very much in love with her. She is my world and I cannot think of life without her. I live for her and her happiness. This is the motto of my life." Blah…blah…blah..
Now we know how the two came together in the first place. With a liberal dose of melodrama in everything they say and do, guess, the pair is just made for each other.
Just one request to the duo, try to keep away your mushy confessions from the sets of "Nach Baliye 3". The audience would be more interested in watching your moves on stage than in real life.
Rakhi and Abhishek are being directed by choreographer Pratap Shetty for the dance show. Abhishek is down with cold and fever for some time now but he is still managing to rehearse for about five hours a day. Hope all the efforts are to perform better in the contest than to impress Rakhi.

Rakesh Roshan confirmed he had signed up Rakhi saying, "Rakhi is performing a song in my film."
Rakhi is excited about her item number to be choreographed by Ganesh Acharya. She will undergo a major makeover for the number and has shed six kilos to look svelte.
"Everything, from head to toe, will look brand new!" she says.
"I have lost around six kilos in the past few weeks. I want to look my best, and the song is so hot it will blow you away."
