FIR filed against Rakhi Sawant

An FIR has been filed against television drama queen Rakhi Sawant and five others. A local court in Jaipur ordered filing of case of forgery and violation of Copyright Act against them.

The list of accused include the executive director of the show, actor Ravi Kishen and Gaurav Gandhi, the managing director of NDTV Imagine and two others for their participation in the show.

The Judicial Magistrate in Jaipur ordered the filing of the FIR over the use of the word Swayamvar in her show Rakhi Ka Swayamvar. The complaint was filed by Gaurav Tiwari who owns the portal Swayamvar.com

Gaurav in his complaint clearly claimed that he had the copyright of the script and the word Swayamvar since 2008 and had also shown it to a private channel. He claimed that the script was used by NDTV Imagine in the reality show Rakhi Ka Swayamvar in an unauthorised way.

The show in which Rakhi Sawant would choose her future partner from among 16 contestants was to end on August 2 with the first of its kind televised swayamvar.

Rakhi had zeroed in on NRI Gujarati Elesh Parujanwala as her life partner. The producers would not mind the FIR as it will surely boost their TRP.

Rakhi followed by Palak on New Show

Remember Rakhi Sawant and her antics in Big Boss some years back, how can one forget that...isn't it?

Well, Palak seems to be following the blunt tongue lady and Rakhi's footsteps in Sony Entertainment Television's new show, "Iss Jungle Se Mujhe Bachao".

She was seen gossiping like Rakhi with co-contestant Fiza over Shweta Tiwari’s image and clothes in Bhojpuri films. Then she referred to Chetan Hansraj as a ‘saand (bull)’ while he was taking a shower.

Later, she was seen arguing with Akashh Segal to save her new found friend Fiza and broke down immediately after a heated argument to gain some sympathy! Is she the same boisterous Palak one saw on Roadies or is she trying to put on an act and play the sweet little girl.

Whatever it is, she feels that the best way to de-stress is dance by the river side and unwind. The viewers sure can be in for a surprise soon with Palak choosing to do a Bo Derek in a swim suit.

Rakhi has also made a comeback on TV with a new show on NDTV.
