A recent TV reality show saw the controversial Mika and Rakhi coming together on one platform.
It happened at the music launch of Sanjay Gupta's Woodstock Villa on the show. Mika is one of the singers associated with the movie and Rakhi a participant on the show. Interestingly, when all the contestants were invited on stage, everyone including Rakhi went but not Abhishek (Rakhi's boyfriend) who is also one of the contestants of the show. We asked Rakhi about this interesting twist.
Did you not feel offended of being on the same stage with Mika?
Initially I did feel offended and flatly refused to go on the stage. But I went on Tulsi and Parvati's insistence, who are the hosts on the show. The children in my group also requested me not to react and just stay calm so I changed my mind and went on stage for their sake and even danced with Mika.
Then what's your take on Abhishek refusing to go on stage?
I completely respect it. That was absolutely his own decision. When a particular person in the past has humiliated you so badly one will not wish to share some space or platform with that person.The controversy between Rakhi and Mika started with Mika's birthday bash a couple of years back where Mika kissed Rakhi and the aftermath of it saw Abhishek and her bodyguard fighting with Mika.
