LONDON: Bollywood star Rakhi Sawant has challenged Pakistani actors Hania Aamir, Nargis, and Deedar to a dance-off, declaring that she could easily defeat all three of them at once. Additionally, she revealed her desire to marry a Pakistani man.
In an explosive interview, Rakhi called herself the "number one item girl of Bollywood" and the "queen of reality TV". She said she would prove her mettle by entering a dancing competition with Hania and stage stars Nargis and Deedar.
She admitted that she had seen the dances of Pakistani actors and liked them a lot but expressed her desire to compete with them in a show.
She said, "I will beat them to it. I am the biggest reality show queen. I demolish, and I will demolish them. I will make them sweat. Accepting and giving challenges is my second name."
In the same interview, she asked Bollywood star Nora Fatehi not to hurt Pakistani fans. She said Nora was invited to a show in Dubai by a Pakistan businessman but she didn’t turn up on the scheduled date and as a result, the businessman suffered a heart attack.
"I was there. I attended the show. Nora should not have done that," she said.
Rakhi revealed that several TikTok live stars – mainly from Pakistan – are now based in Dubai and make millions through live shows. “I have bought several properties in Dubai,” said she.
She added, "I want to marry one more time, this time in Dubai and with a Pakistani man. I would like cricketer Wasim Akram to attend my wedding. When we were together in the last Dubai show, he met me and we had a great time."
Rakhi's journey to fame began in the early 2000s when she quickly established herself as a bold and unconventional figure in Bollywood. She appeared in several films and bagged memorable roles, including one in the iconic movie "Main Hoon Na" in 2004, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Sushmita Sen.
She has built a career on making outlandish comments that frequently land her in the headlines. From bizarre statements to eye-catching interviews, she’s the queen of memes and viral moments.
She professed love for Pakistan in the same interview. She said she liked the country and its people a lot.
