After Rakhi now it's Rahul Mahajan

Bollywood's top item girl Rakhi Sawant's wedding with Elesh Parjunwala is still on. Rakhi has told a friend there’s no marriage, that the NDTV’s Swayamvar where Rakhi Sawant apparently chose herself a bridegroom has turned out to be the Great Indian Farce. Recently Rakhi had performed a dance number in Rani Mukherjee and Shahid Kapur starrer film Dil Bole Hadippa!




Now NDTV channel is palnning to go ahead with Season 2 of Swayamvar. This time it's Rahul Mahajan looking for a bride as viewers again get taken for a ride.

First Rakhi Sawant, now Rahul Mahajan will apparently have a string of intended spouses lining up to marry a man whose wife accused him of spousal abuse. What's all this guys???

I don't trust Elesh, Rakhi says

Rakhi Sawant being an item girl and the original drama queen says that she doesn't trust Elesh, the canadian man. After the show Rakhi Ka Swayamwar on NDTV Imagine she has got the grand publicity and after a long search finally she made up her mind for Elesh. But in a bindaas chat with NT Rakhi the hot babe confirms that she will wait and watch before the ultimate call for the marriage.



“Elesh has nothing except his education. He told me that he wants to start his career in Mumbai so i agreed upon but later I came to know that Elesh is not as firm as he projected himself to be. He stays in a rented flat with his partner in Mumbai. And you can't accept me staying in a rented flat”, Rakhi says.

Tha item girl also confirmed that she would marry someone else if Elesh doesn't get settled down within one or two years. Rakhi is really very much concerned about her life partner as well as career. She finally chose Elesh to get married with so that she would not have to leave Mumbai as her career plays the most important role in her life.

So we will also have to wait and watch as the item girl says. Rakhi gets married with Elesh or someone else, it's a question mark ???

Rakhi Ka Swayamvar Real or Unreal

Rakhi Ka Swayamwar achieved everything a television reality show would possibly do. It had high TRPs, huge controversy and add to it a spice called Rakhi Sawant it could not have been any bigger on the small screen.




Queries are being raised on whether the Rakhi's swayamwar was just another scripted reality shows aimed at garnering high TRP ratings and ample Ad revenue.

The script had it that Rakhi would not to tie knot with anyone at the end of the show and the winner would choose money over Rakhi with the item queen seeking public sympathy. All was going well till two contestants who left the show at different times revealed the plot. The producers wanting the show to look authentic came out with a unique solution of Rakhi getting engaged rather that tying the knot at the end.

Its just two weeks since the grand finale and Rakhi Sawant has already began raising doubts over her fiancée Elesh Parujanwala. First she skipped his sister's wedding and then questioned his loyalty citing his multiple affairs in the past. She also said that she and Elesh weren't made for each other. Hang on Rakhi this is the same person you were going gaga praising just about 10 days ago.

We don't know that what is happening is real or unreal and if Rakhi ever had plans to get married on the NDTV Imagine show Rakhi Ka Swayamwar and her raising doubts over Elesh is just another plot. They believe Rakhi and Elesh are heading for a high profile split which will save the face for Rakhi as well as NDTV Imagine.

Well with Rakhi Sawant on the show, all that happens is just so uncertain.

Rakhi talks to Elesh's parents

Rakhi Sawant wanted to meet Elesh Parujanwala’s family after meeting the families of Kshitij Jain, Manmohan Tiwari and Manas katyal. Elesh Parujanwala is a businessman from Toronto, Canada.

Although Elesh's parents are basically from Gujarat, they stay in Toronto, Canada. So the crew of NDTV Imagine arranged to hold a tele-conference with his family from Mumbai.




Elesh took Rakhi Sawant to the room, where a video-conference with his parents was organised already. He introduced Rakhi to his parents.

Talking to Rakhi, Elesh's father assured her, "Rakhi, you can continue to work even after the marriage. For few days, you can work in India and another few days in Canada."

Then Elesh introduced Rakhi Sawant to his sister Brinda, who is a teacher by profession and get married soon, his grandmother Joker Ben and his friends Gaurav and Saheb.

At last, Elesh was very happy after getting positive response from his family and friends. Rakhi Sawant also enjoyed talking to them. He asked her whether she would marry him. She said, "Right from the beginning of Swayamwar, I've got positive opinion about you. I see my perfect husband in you. But you have to wait for little more time.”

I am sure I will find the right man says Rakhi

Some people call it a publicity stunt, some call it a unique idea but Rakhi Sawant doesn't seem to care. Rakhi Sawant is all set for the big day of her life- the day she will tie her wedding knot. Rakhi says, "I do things differently. Marrying through a reality show doesn't mean I am not serious about it. I am looking for a companion with whom I can share my love, joys, sorrows and success. I have chosen a national television to be the medium because this platform has made me what I am today. I want my marriage to be solemnized in the presence of all my fans who have been supportive of me in all my thick and thins.

We can call Rakhi a fashion diva too. As the item girl wants to look stunning on her wedding day. She has lost about 10 kilos of weight for her wedding. Now Rakhi is working on her outfit and look extensively. It will be a surprise for all. What can be a better medium than a national television channel.

Say 'I Do' On Television

After Rakhi Sawant posed the question, “Mujhse shaadi karoge?” to the public, another channel came up with a reality show, Vivaah, that will arrange marriages for couples on TV.

While there are numerous shows devoted to love and dating, marriage was a different matter. The Devdaas queen, Madhuri Dixit’s Shubh Vivaah was the first show on Indian TV to enter that territory in 2001, but failed to woo audiences at the time.

“If it’s well-packaged and manages to captivate viewers, it could work,” says media analyst Anil Wanvari, “Marriage is a delicate subject. Girls in India lead a comparatively sheltered life.”

Anuradha Prasad, the production house’s managing director feels that this show is bound to be a success as marriage has great significance in the Indian context. “Every parent is looking for a groom or bride on matrimonial sites and in newspapers for their children. If you put a show together well and the audience is able to relate to it, it’s bound to be a success,” she says.

The show’s host, Mohnish Behl, says there are no such risks involved. “We will just introduce the boy and girl and their families to each other, give them the required information and make them answer important questions. Where the candidates take it from there is their business. There is no prize money or competition involved at all." He also adds that a show like this will work as it provides a service and has an anti-dowry message.

Rakhi Ka Pati Kaisa

Around 12,515 hopefuls have already sent in their profiles in the hope that they will win Rakhi’s heart and would marry her. From businessmen to models and from NRI’s to doctors, and engineers, these grooms come from all walks of life.

There has been a flood of entries received from across the globe. And while prospective grooms may be floating their entries to tie the knot with her, Rakhi too is preparing herself. 'I am toning up my body and want to be slim before I get married. I am growing my hair too,' she says.

Rakhi Sawant wants to fit into the image of the girl-next-door. And what are the qualities that she want in her husband-to-be? He should be a perfectionist like Aamir, he should respect women like SRK and be he should also be strong like Salman,' Rakhi adds to her statement. And Rakhi also specifies the guy should not be like Abhishek Awasthi.
