“Rakhi Sawant is a poor loser”!


Love her, loathe her but don’t ignore her. That’s all Rakhi Sawant asks from you! This drama queen of Indian TV has successfully managed to stay in news, rather controversy yet again.

After her infamous ouster from Nach Baliye at the hands of Sanjeeda and Aamir, Rakhi Sawant and beau Abhishek walked out of the show’s grand finale without paying heed to even Salman Khan’s request to come back!

If ample tears, prayer chanting and panting on screen were not enough, Rakhi and Abhishek even went to the extent of filing a complaint in a local police station against the show and channel, accusing them to be cheating the audiences, due to their alleged fake voting pattern.

We spoke to Keertan Adyanthaya, Executive Vice President & General Manager, Star Plus to know the truth and the man was certainly not amused by Rakhi’s accusations.

“This is just a publicity stunt. This jodi is using the media for their own nefarious purposes. They are making allegations against Star Plus without any basis or a shred of evidence. It’s a ploy for them to remain in the news. They have still not contacted the channel or the producers directly with any issues they have, but are using the media. These are all just hollow allegations.

They are nothing but poor losers, I feel sorry for them that they have to resort to such public pleading to remain the news. It’s a case of “grapes are sour”. As far as we are concerned, the show ended on Saturday night, but it looks like the show and its associated glitz & glamour are hard to leave behind for some people.”

But what about the police case filed by Rakhi? “As far as the Police case goes, firstly, it is not a case against Star Plus but against some unknown parties who have allegedly voted using some software. The case is based on a newspaper report and not on any rock solid evidence. If the Police do decide to investigate, we will co-operate fully with them if they approach us. But I don’t think the Police will be misled into investigating such frivolous cases”.

Adyanthaya concludes sasying, “We expect an unconditional public apology from Mr Awasthi & Ms Sawant.”

Wonder what happens next to this case...
