Rakhi calling!
Sawant will host a chat show on Zee Next
Believe it or swoon, Rakhi Sawant is turning into a chat show host. The item girl who has previously been seen in reality shows like Nach Baliye, Bigg Boss and Yeh Hai Jalwa will be seen in a new role in the coming months.
It is believed that Rakhi's celebrity chat show is tentatively titled Rakhi Ka Phone Aaya Hai!
When contacted Rakhi confirms, "Yes, I am hosting a chat show. I think for the first time I will be keeping my mouth shut and letting people talk. After being on Koffee With Karan, last season I always wondered why I couldn't host a show and ask people questions, instead of being invited as a guest. I was impressed with Karan's style of questioning, and want my show to be fun as well."
Research is fun
Produced by SOL, the show will air twice a week on Zee Next. Unlike Koffee with Karan, Rakhi's show is not just about films and gossip. Rakhi elaborates, "I will also be dealing with current topics like politics, sports, issues that are being discussed. For this, I have started reading newspapers and keeping abreast of what's happening around me. It's a big challenge but I have an excellent research team who's helping me."
She is not ready to reveal any celebrity guest names just yet, "Everybody and anybody who is a big name will be on my show. I don't want to take names, but I have some big actors and directors. Before the shoot, I do plenty of research on every celebrity and try to find out things about them which no one else would know. It's fun."
No issues?
Guests on Rakhi's show do not get a gift hamper like on Karan Johar's show. She reveals, "I have a better hamper. It's called Rakhi ka Tashan. It's bigger than the Koffee hamper and has mobile phones, electronic gadgets and some really expensive stuff. I won't be generous in giving it away to my guests as they will have to give some really good answers to win them."
Rakhi is feeling generous. She is even willing to entertain her enemies Mika and Kashmera Shah on the show, "Why not? It's open for anybody and everybody who the public wants to see. I have no issues in talking to either of them!"
