'Marry me!' Rakhi Sawant tells Salman Khan on TV show

Mumbai, Sep 9 (IANS) Sassy item girl Rakhi Sawant had macho star Salman Khan completely stumped when she unexpectedly popped the question - "Marry me!' - during the grand finale of his reality television show "Dus Ka Dum".

Rakhi also produced a ring after asking Salman to marry her, according to a press statement.

During the finale of the "Nach Baliye 3" dance reality show last year, when Salman was the chief guest, Rakhi had walked away from the sets in a huff.

Rakhi had lost to Sanjeeda Sheikh and Aamir Ali in the show and stormed off the stage with her beau Abhishek Awasthi in tow. Even though Salman followed her to pacify her, she snubbed him and drove off in her car.

Salman was apparently miffed with her after that. But considering that she was invited to his show, Salman seems to have forgiven the controversy queen.

Rakhi was on the show with comedian Shakeel Siddiqui to play the game. Two other celebrities, actors Rani Mukerji and Lara Dutta also graced the show, which will be telecast Sep 14 at 8 p.m. on Sony Entertainment Television.
