| "I don't ever want to have my own babies but would want to adopt many…" 9 2007 |
| She is ready to hit the Indian television scene in a big way… with Nach Baliye 3 on Star One and her very own anchor based show for a new channel coming up soon… Rakhi Sawant has come a long way and is all set to grab eyeballs. Post Bigg Boss suddenly she became the apple of everyone's eyes… right from appealing to people in the industry to being praised by the media… she is high on success. From being just another item girl she is now also an actress, a host and a celebrity in her own right. The only difference between her and other celebs is that Rakhi does not care about the consequences when she gives honest answers which in turn become quotable quotes. Gandhiji, social work, marriage, babies, adoption, being a maasi, Abhishek Awasthi, Tina Ambani, Sanjay Dutt… Frank, forthright, upfront, candid, blunt to the core and in your face… here's Rakhi Sawant in a free wheeling chat with Seema S. Mattoo. The world by now knows about Rakhi Sawant … her sad childhood days, her initial days of struggle in the industry, the many controversies she gets into and her successful career now. So what new has she spoken here? Lots… because each time as she shares new experiences from her past old memories keep flooding back to her and a new story tumbles out … and now that she is truly independent and staying away from her family with her love Abhishek, Rakhi again has lots to say… When I was a child men would scare me with their eyes… Our khandaan had orthodox men who would keep women in control and would scare us with their eyes. No standing out in balconies, no beauty parlours, no dancing during Navratris… so I grew up being very angry and decided to break all rules to become a rebel. I was 11 years old and immediately after coming home from an appendix operation, with zidd I decided to go and play dandia even if they would kill me because my body had started recognising music and rhythm. When I came back home my mother and mama decided to teach me a lesson and cut my long hair into a short crop which looked burnt and when I saw myself in the mirror that night I cried a lot. My mama hit me so badly that my hand had to be stitched and the marks still remain. Even now when I talk about it I get goose bumps. That very day I decided that even if the entire world is against me I will do what I want to. I ask God why you gave me such a family… I cry a lot since childhood and ask God why did you give me such a family who tortures women and gives freedom to men only? My mother's only motto in life was to make me earn money. In a chawl system parents don't allow a girl to go outside and play but when it comes to earning money they allow her to go ahead and do anything. That time they forget the shame and honour to the family. When I was around 10 years of age I was working for a caterer to earn daily wages of 50 rupees and I have served food at Tina Ambani's wedding. |
