"I am expecting a huge fight with Rakhee today," - Rakesh Sawant
" Raksha bandhan is a very emotional occasion for me. Nothing can stop me from meeting my sister today", Rakesh Sawant declares aloud. Rakesh, Who? Yes, he is the only brother that Bollywood's item girl Rakhee Sawant has been tying rakhi ever since. It's only now that she became a part of television reality show Swayamvar , which had everyone except her immediate family that Rakhee is beloved to be estranged from. Whether it's a major fallout, or a projected perception, well planned by Rakhee and her family, we do not know, but everyone believes that Rakhee has finally severed her ties with her family. The reason, pointed out by the item girl in the show, makes it clear that Rakhee holds her family responsible for her breaks up with ex flame and wannabe actor Abhishek Awasthi. Does Rakesh expect her to forget and forgive? "Forget and forgive what? I don't know what we have done to be treated by her like this. It hurts. But I know Rakhee. This time it will be hard to convince her back. She's holding severe grudges against us," explains Rakesh adding, "I'll call her and than go to her house. I am expecting a huge fight. She didn't like the fact that we told the media of not been invited to her wedding. Nonetheless I will face the blast and get a rakhi from her. My sister is like my God," says the budding director, whose controversial film Wafaa with Rajesh Khanna hit headlines for wrong reasons. The film had some highly bold scene between Khanna and his young heroine. Has he met his to be brother-in-law Elesh Purunjwala? "Why should I meet him? I am going to meet my sister, not any third person" brushes off Rakesh. But Elesh is someone who Rakhee personally chose over the rest of the contestants and plans to marry soon? "Who says so?" laughs Rakesh. "Personally it was just a show yaar . We couldn't connect to it beyond a point. They are not married. Her marriage will not happen till her family is present. We know Rakhee. As for this show, I don't want to comment further. Who knows what'll happen tomorrow," says Rakesh as a matter of fact. Doe she mean that the show is staged? "I don't mean anything. Those are my personal views. I cannot accept anyone as my bother in law or her groom till she marries the person," sums up Rakesh... Rakesh also believes that Rakhee will always help him professionally, 'She has always helped me professionally. We have not fallen out on those grounds," |
