But the item girl will not have any jhatkas and matkas in the music video of the song.
ROSHNI K OLIVERA
Guess who's crooning these days? Rakhi Sawant! The item girl, with a husky voice, has just recorded a song Yaara Na Dil Laga Phas Jayega, and in the video Rakhi will be playing a super girl.
"It's been a dream to be a superwoman who saves the innocent and less-priviledged. Here through this video I'm realising my dream," says Rakhi, clarifying that it's video with no jhatkas and matkas, but animations.
Singing wasn't easy, she admits. "I am not a singer.
Hamare khandaan mein koi singer nahin hai. But, yes, every actor has a secret desire to sing someday. I'm lucky to get this opportunity." Rakhi took a good seven to eight days to record the song. "Mere toh hosh hi ud gaye. But I'm glad it's worked out fine."
It came as a surprise, she says, when she was approached by her rakhi brother DJ Sheizwood and producer Champak Jaain to sing this number. "It so happened that I had gone to meet Sheizwood at the studio when he asked me to come to the mike and hum a line. I was shocked, but I gave it a try. Initially he wasn't happy, but when I sang again he seemed to like it. Later during the recording he kept telling me 'Peth se gaa' and I replied 'Peth se kyun? Muh se gaate hain na?' Gradually I managed to hold my breath while singing."
The video, incidentally, also features her boyfriend Abhishek in a negative role. Does she wish he was playing the hero? "That doesn't matter. We are artistes at the end of the day," she says. And, no, Rakhi says she has no plans to pursue singing further. "But you can never tell about the future though," she's quick to add.
