Although Nach Baliye 3 has not begun yet, contestant couples are already nervous and insecure. They are going to any extent to win the crown. Interestingly, Rakhi Sawant consulted her spiritual guru, who prescribed a Navgrah bracelet as good luck charm. The bracelet has nine planetary stones.
Apparently, Rakhi's spiritual guru, Hari Govind Tripathi, based in Varanasi, guides her in all her projects. Says a source close to Rakhi, "Rakhi is leaving no stone unturned to win the dance competition. When her guru instructed her to sport a bracelet with nine planetary stones, she immediately agreed. The planetary stones are supposed to control the planets. It will also help her win over the planets of other contestant couples. She wears it every time. She feels that if she takes it off, she will invite the wrath of the gods."

When contacted, Rakhi confirmed the news. "My Guruji told me that I should wear the bracelet so that good luck stays with me all the time," she said.
It is evident that Rakhi has immense faith in her guru. She says, "My Guruji told me last year that the coming two years would be very good for me. And it's so true. After Bigg Boss, I am in Nach Baliye 3. With his blessings, I have risen to great heights in this industry. I always follow his instructions."

Is she superstitious? "Yes I am! I strongly believe in Ganpati and Jesus. I think you can achieve anything if you truly believe in yourself. I have no godfather in the industry, but I have achieved so much because I have confidence in myself," she says.

Sounding upbeat about her rehearsals for the contest, she says, "I am having a great time as I have an awesome choreographer, Pratap. I have turned down several shows to be a part of Nach Baliye 3 with Abhishek (her boyfriend)," she adds. Apart from removing her silicon implants for Nach Baliye 3, it was also reported that Rakhi has been making calls to contestants inquiring about songs that they will perform to. Reportedly, she also has convinced the organisers to book one entire hall, Natraj hall, for her rehearsals, leaving other contestants miffed.
