Rakhi Sawant ignores pundit's advice and performs in a red sari

Against advice from her pundit that red is unlucky for her, Rakhi Sawant wore a red sari and performed to Hoton pe bas tera naam hai with beau Abhishek on Nach Baliye 3.

Even though her performance went off smoothly, her wig fell off while she was entertaining the judges after her act.

The why of it

Talking about it, Rakhi says, "I am a manglik. My pundit has advised me not to wear anything red as it's a bad omen. In fact, I won't be able to wear a red joda even on my wedding day. Despite that, I wore a red sari as the song had to be sensuous.

Also, it was a special round called Touch Baliye, where the couples should not lose contact at any point. We were the only couple to keep contact through the entire performance."

Rice is vice

After her act ended, the judges who were impressed with her dance and asked her to do some of her trademark steps.

"When I was doing a move, I realised my wig had come off. I think it's due to the colour red. My pundit's words came true. But I'm am glad it didn't happen during our main performance," she says.

Sawant also adds that she has given up eating rice. "I had kept a mannat after I injured my leg during the previous round. I had asked God to heal my leg and I would give up on rice. Now, I won't be eating rice for rest of my life. I think it's worth the sacrifice I had to make for Nach."
