Rakhi's rejection proves lucky for Manmohan!

Remember the thin, dark, flirtatious guy who was a strong contestant in Rakhi Sawant's, “Rakhi Ka Swayamvar”? Yes! We are talking about Manmohan Tiwari who participated in this show, basically, to step into the television acting world. And what a surprise! His dream has come true as he bags a new show on NDTV Imagine. The show is called Jamunia.


The contestant who earlier wanted to play the real-life role of “Dulha” for Rakhi, will now be playing the character of Awadh Thakur in reel-life. This serial called Jamunia will be on air from March 8. Beyond Dreams Entertainment Limited is the production house behind this serial which is produced by Yash Patnaik. Jamunia is a story of an orphan girl which shows that how much a girl power can work when there are adverse conditions. It shows the limit of female's strength and love for her family.


Only the time will tell that how Manmohan acts and reacts on Television. As far as Rakhi's swayamwar is concerned, well, it has helped this rejected “var” to get selected for a great show on a great channel.

Rakhi Sawant, now parenting on TV

Item girl Rakhi Sawant, is no more an item girl only.She is perfecting the role of a mother on NDTV Imagine's new reality show, Pati Patni Aur Woh.




To prepare for the show and pamper her kids on the show, she recently went on a shopping spree in the US to buy toys and clothes for the children she will be parenting on the show. At different times, Rakhi will be taking care of kids from different age group—from infant to adolescent on the show.

Rakhi purchased clothes for both boys and girls in the age group of six months to 10 years. When Rakhi packed her bags to go from Mumbai to Goa, where the show will be shot, her luggage weighed around 60 kg. To manage all the stuff, she took her assistant and managers so that the weight of the luggage could be divided.

But since contestants are only allowed a limited amount of luggage on the show, she decided to leave her own clothes rather than the gifts she bought for the kids.

Pati Patni Aur Woh will see Rakhi and her Canada-based businessman fiancé Elesh Parujanwala that she won over her in another reality TV show, Rakhi Ka Swayamvar, with other four other celebrity couples will relocate from their glamorous lives to become parents. They will have to take care of infants as well as adolescents in course of the show.

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.

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 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.

Even Rakhi ka Swayamvar is Inspired

I mean this is something amazing!!! The soon to be aired NDTV Show Rakhi Ka Swayamvar is inspired by a daily soap.

Yes...we thought it was an original idea that struck creative minds but it is even inspired from something that we curse for spoiling our minds daily.

Rakhi Sawant’s recent and sudden groom-hunt is certainly doing the rounds, but Marathi Mulgi is taking a plunge deriving inspiration from not a book- How to have a successful Swayamvar rather it’s a daily that had her convinced to find a soul mate for herself.

In one of the recent interviews, Rakhi opened up and asserted that she got this lovely idea of settling down with a right guy after watching Manish Goswami’s daily Dehleez. She was very much impressed by the lead actress Preeti Gandwani’s character that she felt it’s about time
to find a life partner for herself. The show that airs on NDTV Imagine
will soon see some popular faces.

For some, inspiration comes from most unlikely places!
