Rakhi Sawant is an Indian model, and B Grade actress. She is a daughter of a Mumbai policeman and she is popular as an item girl and sex symbol. Sawant is prominent in the Indian media for being a loud mouth and for her controversial personal life.
Rakhi started her career as a bar dancer. Hailing from a poor family, she has had only a few years of formal education. She is the sister of Rakesh Sawant who is currently making his directorial debut. Famous for her voluptuous physique (38D-26-36 according to Stardust magazine), she is known to have removed her silicon breast implants recently.
She is currently dating Abhishek Awasthi, with whom she participated in Nach Baliye 3 only to lose out to another favorite couple, Amir Ali and Sanjida. Awasthi was a contestant in the popular Zee show, India's Best. She is the life member of International Film And Television Club of Asian Academy Of Film & Television.
When Rakhi Sawant was in Bigg Boss's house, she apparently wanted her mother Jaya Sawant to move out of the flat they share. In the first week of March, Jaya shifted in with her son Rakesh at his MHADA flat.
Controversy
Rakhi has attracted a great deal of attention by appearing on stage and screen in revealing outfits. In May 2006, she was booked for obscenity by the TN Police, after a stage show in the city. She was let off with a warning and a quickie. A month later, she was again in the news when she filed a molestation case against pop singer Mika Mehndi, younger brother of Daler Mehndi, who kissed her forcibly at his birthday party, where she was a guest. She made waves in Bigg Boss, a Sony television show.
She was regularly ridiculed on the show Koffee With Karan but recently appeared in an episode of the show. She also got the award for being Karan's favorite guest. She has apparently got rid of her silicone implants for the upcoming dance show Nach Baliye 3.
As part of a Lions Club campaign, Rakhi was the celebrity guest at a function in Mumbai's Arthur Road Jail. She was to distribute blankets, computers and condoms to the inmates but the jail authorities pulled out the rulebook and said that she cannot enter the jail premises. The authorities reasoned that they would not be able to control the inmates if she was allowed in. This made Rakhi upset as she claimed that she had the necessary permission to go enter the jail. But her plea fell on deaf ears and Rakhi's request was turned down.
She has participated in reality television shows Bigg Boss and Nach Baliye 3 and was popular among viewers, but did not manage to win. She has alleged cheating in her not winning the Nach Baliye 3 show, but the organisers have denied the allegation. Despite being in industry for almost 10 years Rakhi is not known for any memorable role or achievement.
Filmography
Apart from her appearance on the silver screen, has also appeared in a number of music videos, most notably for the remix number Pardesiya. In 2006, she was a cast member of reality show Bigg Boss, the Indian version of Big Brother. She was voted off the show by fellow cast members after a month who dubbed her the "Fuggliest thing to hit TV" , but has been brought back and was one of the final 4 participants. She also lost the grand finale in Nach Baliye3.
