KJo, Rakhi: Kaal dhamaal!

She's truly a household name! Whether she went about it the right way or the wrong way, no one has the right to judge… because at the end of the day, her popularity is unprecedented. Ridicule her… Mock her… Love her… whatever you do, you can't ignore her! Karan's guest this week is none other than everybody's favorite- Rakhi Sawant! Also joining her toward the end of the show are her close friends- the very gracious, Carol Gracious and Aashiqui boy, Rahul Roy… For the first time ever, Karan hosts his show in pure 'Hindi' and for the first time ever; a guest manages to leave him speechless!

Looking absolutely stunning in a sari designed by Manish Malhotra, Rakhi sizzles on the show. She is her usual straightforward self, answering Karan's questions without batting an eyelid! Watch her talk about her family, her boyfriend, her fans and of course the controversy with Mika! She confesses on the show that 'Botox is the secret of her beauty'… and brings the house down by singing a song from her latest album "Supergirl"! Discover her emotional side as she breaks down on the show, while talking about how her "item girl" image, which was created by the media, spoilt her relationship with her parents and family.

When Karan asks her about the reality show she participated in, in which she was locked into the house with celebrity-inmates for 3 months, she shudders at the very thought and tells him that she had no idea what she was in for but she also admits that the show changed her life! She talks about how she unintentionally falls into controversies and is so often misunderstood like for instance when she went to jail to donate computers to the prisoners!

Rakhi is a treat to watch especially in the rapid fire round as she answers questions thrown in by the audience and by Karan, with lan and in her true original style! If she was lost in a deserted island, which 3 men would she take with her and what would she do with each of them? What is her reaction on Mika's music video on the 'infamous' kiss? Which Bollywood director would she like to work with? How does she maintain her gorgeous, voluptuous, sexy body? If she was in charge of the Indian Cricket team, what would she do? No prizes for guessing if Rakhi takes the hamper home or not!!!

Excerpts from the interview:

How do you feel being on the show?
Mujhe bahut accha lag raha hai. Mein bahut accha feel kar rahi hu, Manish ki sari pehen kar!

Manish Malhotra ka sari pehena hai aapne?
Mujhe bahut accha lag raha hai with the earrings, with the good bracelet and good purse! (Laughs)

To poore set ho?
Haa! Mujhe aisa lag raha hai mein Sushmita Sen, Rani Mukherji, Preity Zinta, Kajol lag rahi hoon philhaal! Mujhe aisa feel ho raha hai andar se!

Aapka mention bahut baar ho chukka hain, is season mein!
Haan meine dekha hai! Kiseene bahut accha response diya, kisine kuch aur kaha… chalte rehta hai! No problem.

Bachpan se aap sensational ho?
Haan! Matlab straightforward hoon! Jo bhi hain clear baat karti hoon, mere dil mein jo hain mein keh deti hoon. Isiliye mere daddy aur mummy ko mein pasand nahi hoon.

Yeh jo "Diplomatic" shabd hai that you don't understand at all!
Haan, pehle mujhe samajh mein nahi aata tha ki yeh shabd kya hain. Meine hamesha aise hi zindagi guzaari hai. Jaise school mein, college mein bhi first year hi kiya hain meine. Zyaada padi-likhi nahi hoon mein because middle-class families mein kuch problems hote hain Karan! Zindagi mein bahut sari cheezein hai jo face karni padti hai.

Jaise kya face kiya hai aapne?
Of course mein ek middle-class family se hoon. Mujhe isse koi gile-shikwe nahi hain.

Bahut difficult raha hain, yeh struggle?
Bahut kam umar mein, jab mein dus saal ki thi, mere father ne hum log ko chodh diya tha aur kaha ki apni zindagi khud jee lo. Phir saara zimma mujhpe aa gaya. Meri education bhi zyada nahi ho paai, because zimmedari aa gayi mujhmein.

To brother, sister in sabko mujhe sambhalna pada. Aur inko sambhaalne ke chakkar mein apni zindagi bhool gayi mein. Aur aaj mein main lead mein aa sakti thi . Film industry mein actress banne ke liye zaroori nahi hain ki tum English bol sako.

Jee, bilkul nahi. Hindi cinema hain!

Definitely. Talented hona, accha dance, acchi acting karna zaroori hain. Zaroori nahi hain ki tum bahut acchi English bolo to hi aap star ban paaoge. I don't think so! But in sab chakkaro mein thodi peechein reh gayi.
