$$$ Koffee With Karan $$$

She's truly a household name! Whether she went about it the right way or the wrong way, no one has the right to judge… because at the end of the day, her popularity is unprecedented. Ridicule her… Mock her… Love her… whatever you do, you can't ignore her! Karan's guest this week is none other than everybody's favorite- Rakhi Sawant! Also joining her towards the end of the show are her close friends- the very gracious, Carol Gracious and Aashiqui boy, Rahul Roy.

Looking absolutely stunning in a sari designed by Manish Malhotra, Rakhi sizzles on the show. She is her usual straightforward self, answering Karan's questions without batting an eyelid! Rakhi talks about her family, boyfriend, fans and of course the controversy with Mika! She confesses on the show that 'Botox is the secret of her beauty'… and brings the house down by singing a song from her latest album "Supergirl"! She also talks about how her "item girl" image, which was created by the media, spoilt her relationship with her parents and family.

When Karan asks her about the reality show she participated in, she shudders at the very thought and tells him that she had no idea what she was in for but she also admits that the show changed her life! She talks about how she unintentionally falls into controversies and is so often misunderstood like for instance when she went to jail to donate computers to the prisoners!

Rakhi is a treat to watch especially in the rapid fire round as she answers questions thrown in by the audience and by Karan, in her true original style! If she was lost in a deserted island, which 3 men would she take with her and what would she do with each of them? What is her reaction on Mika's music video on the 'infamous' kiss? Which Bollywood director would she like to work with? How does she maintain her gorgeous, voluptuous, sexy body? If she was in charge of the Indian Cricket team, what would she do?

Karan: So Rakhi you are looking lovely!
Rakhi: Thank you!

Karan: So how do you feel being on the show?
Rakhi: Mujhe bahut accha lag raha hai. Mein bahut accha feel kar rahi hu, Manish ki sari pehen kar!

Karan: Manish Malhotra ka sari pehena hai aapne?
Rakhi: Mujhe bahut accha lag raha hai with the earrings, with the good bracelet and good purse! (Laughs)

Karan: To poore set ho?
Rakhi: Haa! Mujhe aisa lag raha hai mein Sushmita Sen, Rani Mukherji, Preity Zinta, Kajol lag rahi hoon philhaal! Mujhe aisa feel ho raha hai andar se!

Karan: Aap show dekhti hai?
Rakhi: Yes!

Karan: Aapka mention bahut baar ho chukka hain, is season mein!
Rakhi: Haan meine dekha hai! Kiseene bahut accha response diya, kisine kuch aur kaha… chalte rehta hai! No problem.

Karan: Jab aap bure response sunti hai, aapko bura lagta hai?
Rakhi: Nahi mujhe bura nahi lagta! Dekhiye, zindagi hain… kuch log accha samajhte hai, kuch log bura samajhte hai, sabki apni marzi. Theek hai… unhe samajhna chahiye ke kisike baarein mein bolne ke pehle dus baar sochna chahiye ki us ladki ne kitna struggle kiya hai, kitna kya kiya hai. Meri jagah pe koi rehkar dekhe ki meine kitna struggle kiya hai.

Karan: Pehle mein aapse maanfi maangna chahta hu!
Rakhi: Nahi nahi bilkul nahi!

Karan: I want to apologize because pehle pehle bahut logon ki tarah I used to laugh at you sometimes. Aapki confidence levels dekhke, jis tarah aap pesh aati hai sometimes television pe, woh dekhkar mujhe kabhi kabhi hasi aati thi. But when I saw you on your reality show, to mujhe laga ki you are an innocent, sweet child and you say it as it is and jo aapke dil mein aa jata hai woh aap keh deti hai and theres something vulnerable, something very innocent about you and you won millions of hearts with the way you were on that show and I think that's amazing and aapne jo success paya hai woh khud apni marzi se paya hai. Sometimes aapko aisa lagta nahi hai key eh sensational aap jo pesh aati ho, woh kabhi kabhi kuch zyada nahi kardeti? You think that happens?
Rakhi: Nahi Karan! You know mein aisi hi hoon. Bachpan se hi aisi hoon!

Karan: Bachpan se aap sensational ho?
Rakhi: Haan! Matlab straightforward hoon! Jo bhi hain clear baat karti hoon, mere dil mein jo hain mein keh deti hoon. Isiliye mere daddy aur mummy ko mein pasand nahi hoon.

Karan: Aise meine pehli baar suna hai ki maa-baap apni beti se pyaar nahi karte!
Rakhi: Pyaar mujhe karte hain lekin mein bold aur straightforward hoon, yeh woh pasand nahi karte! Bedhadaak kehte hai na, clear bol deti hoon! Haan, tumne galat kiya hai to tumne kiya hai to woh mujhe kehte hai ki tum zyaada 'Damini' na bano warna zindagi jee nahi paogi. Yeh damini word jo hai mere dimaag mein bachpan se hai.

Karan: Accha 'Damini'! Picture dekhi hogi aapne?
Rakhi: Meri mamma ne dekhi hogi. To mujhe hamesha yahi kehte hai ki tum kuch zyaada straightforward ho. Aise mat bana karo. Kyonki thoda sa diplomatic hona bahut zaroori hai zindagi mein.

Karan: Yeh jo "Diplomatic" shabd hai that you don't understand at all?
Rakhi: Haan, pehle mujhe samajh mein nahi aata tha ki yeh shabd kya hain. Meine hamesha aise hi zindagi guzaari hai. Jaise school mein, college mein bhi first year hi kiya hain meine. Zyaada padi-likhi nahi hoon mein because middle-class families mein kuch problems hote hain Karan! Zindagi mein bahut sari cheezein hai jo face karni padti hai.

Karan: Jaise kya face kiya hai aapne?
Rakhi: Of course mein ek middle-class family se hoon. Mujhe isse koi gile-shikwe nahi hain.

Karan: Its turned around for you! Today you've done exceedingly well and I'm sure ki aaj aap nahi keh paayengi ki aap middle-class family se hain. You are doing very well for yourself. Monetarily as well.
Rakhi: Thank you! Yeh to mein apni mehnat se aage aayi hoon aur public ki wajah se. woh mujhe bohot like karte hain! Pata nahi kya unhe nazar aata hai mujhmein, pata nahi kya hai?

Karan: Mein bahut family ke baarein mein believe karta hu. It's all about loving your parents. Meine ek film bhi banayi thi- 'Kabhie Khushi Kabhie Gham'. I am a believer of family! Aapne jo kaha mujhe, I am feeling bad hearing this. Your equation with your mother is questionable today. Aapne ek interview mein bhi kaha ki aap akele rehna chahti ho, without your mother.
Rakhi: Mein akele rehti hoon.

Karan: Kyun? Apni maa ke saath kyun nahi rehti?
Rakhi: Mein jab shooting se aaoon, to mujhe bahut sukoon chahiye.

Karan: To maa bahut chillati hain?
Rakhi: Hota hain! Bahut saari controversy hoti hain. You know Karan yeh controversy mein kabhi create nahi karti, mere saath ho jata hain. Pata nahi kyun, ho jata hain. Accident ho jata hain mere saath. Mein kabhi jaan ke nahi karti aur tabhi mamma bahut chillati hain aur daddy bhi mamma ko phone karte hain. Woh bhi chillate hain. To meine decision le liya ki mein akele rahoongi aur akele zindagi kaatoongi. Na kabhi shaadi karoongi aur bas…

Karan: Shaadi kyoon nahi karengi aap? Pyaar to har ladki ko chahiye apni zindagi mein.
Rakhi: Haan, pyaar chahiye. One sec. (Crying)

Karan: Zyada emotional ho gayi aap, Rakhi.
Rakhi: Mein ho jati hoon. Jaha ghar ki baat aati hain, family ki baat aati hain to mein bahut zyada emotional ho jati hoon. Because jis tarah se meine apni zindagi jee hain na, bhagwaan na kare, aise koi ladki apni zindagi jeeyein. Bahut mushkil se, bahut struggle kiya hain meine apni life mein, industry mein.

Karan: Bahut difficult raha hain, yeh struggle?
Rakhi: Bahut kam umar mein, jab mein dus saal ki thi, mere father ne hum log ko chodh diya tha aur kaha ki apni zindagi khud jee lo. Phir saara zimma mujhpe aa gaya. Meri education bhi zyada nahi ho paai, because zimmedari aa gayi mujhmein. To brother, sister in sabko mujhe sambhalna pada. Aur inko sambhaalne ke chakkar mein apni zindagi bhool gayi mein. Aur aaj mein main lead mein aa sakti thi. Film industry mein actress banne ke liye zaroori nahi hain ki tum English bol sako.

Karan: Jee, bilkul nahi. Hindi cinema hain!
Rakhi: Definitely. Talented hona, accha dance, acchi acting karna zaroori hain. Zaroori nahi hain ki tum bahut acchi English bolo to hi aap star ban paaoge. I don't think so! But in sab chakkaro mein thodi peechein reh gayi.

Karan: The main members of your family, how did they react to your exposure… to your skin show, to your sex appeal?
Rakhi: Woh to baat bhi nahi karte. Hamare khandan mein, kisine humse relation hi nahi rakha.

Karan: Aapko lagta hain yeh double standards hain, hypocrisy hain?
Rakhi: Haan double standards hain. Mein apni cousin sister ko mil bhi nahi paati hoon. Kisiko nahi mil paati hoon. Woh log kehte hai, ki tum to film industry mein chali gayi ho. Roz tumhara naam news mein dekhte hain, kisi controversy mein. Itne chotte kapde pehenti ho. But meine kaha ki mein apni zindagi jeena chahti hoon. Aapko mujhse relation rakhna hain to rakhiye, nahi rakhna hain to nahi rakhiye. Aap apne ghar pe khush, mein apne ghar pe khush. Lekin aaj wohi log kehte hain, Rakhi Sawant woh meri sister hain, woh hamari beti hain and no one can believe them.

Karan: Aapne bahut kam umar mein socha tha ki mein expose karoongi, apna skin show karoongi, mein apna image "sexy" project karoongi?
Rakhi: Nahi Karan, meine aisa kabhi nahi socha tha. Mein bahut seedhi saadhi ladki thi. Mein bhi do chotiya rakhti thi, salwar kameez pehenti thi, mera face itna acha nahi tha.

Karan: Aapne kuch kiya hai?
Rakhi: Meri body itni acchi nahi thi.

Karan: Aapne mehnat ki hai apni body pe?
Rakhi: Meine bahut mehnat ki hai apni body pe, face pe,looks pe.

Karan: Did you take some Botox, plastic surgery. Did you take all that as well? Did you take the assistance of that?
Rakhi: Mere lips jo hain, bahut thin the! Toh meri doctor hain Rashmi Shetty. To mere lips unhone silicon se ekdum pouty lips bana diye.

Karan: Silicon use kiya aapne? Wahi silicon use kiya ya kahi aur bhi???
Rakhi: (Laughs) Kya kehna chahte hain aap?

Karan: Nahi nahi mein pooch raha hoon aapse!
Rakhi: Why not? Kehte hain jo cheezein God nahi deta, woh Doctor de dete hain! Apne aapko khoobsurat banana ke liye Miss Universe se Miss World tak, bade bade heroinein kar sakti hain to Rakhi Sawant kyun nahi kar sakti?
Karan: Kya baat hain Rakhi! Personal life mein aapka ek boyfriend bhi hain na? Kya naam hain unka- Abhishek?
Rakhi: Abhishek!
Karan: Aap abhi bhi unke saath hain?
Rakhi: Haan! Mein hoon unke saath. Woh mere bahut acche dost hai.
Karan: Dost hain? Boyfriend nahi hain?
Rakhi: Boyfriend hain! Matlab… mein shaadi nahi karne wali hoon!
Karan: Waise bhi… abhi you are very young. You don't need to get married now but why make a statement like this? You would want to get married, settle down, have kids…
Rakhi: Nahi! Mein bacche nahi paida karoongi aur na mein shaadi karoongi.

Karan: Kyoo?
Rakhi: Woh type ka mera ja mentally level hain… woh mein decide kar chuki hoon because mujhe nahi lagta ki mein kabhi shaadi karoongi.. mere mummy daddy alag ho gaye to bachpan se mein darr gayi hoon aur har jagah aap dekhte hain ki shaadi ho jaati hain aur 2-3 months, 6 months mein divorce ho jata hain to woh saari cheezein mein karna hi nahi chahti hoon isiliye mein live-in relationship mein believe karti hoon.

Karan: So are you living in with Abhishek?
Rakhi: Yeah! Uhh.. I am not living in with him but we have a good relationship.

Karan: And mummy is not happy about it?
Rakhi: No!She is not happy because unki apni problem hain. She says kya zaroorat hain yeh sab karneki, abhi tumhein bahut aage badhna hain. Mein maanti hoon… bahut aage badhna hain… aage bahut kaam hain lekin thoda sa pyaar bhi hona zaroori hain zindagi mein.
Karan: Of course.

Karan: Abhishek ko kaise lagta hain jab woh aapko dekhte hain pardein pe, television pe is tarah sexy image hain aapka?
Rakhi: He's happy! Whatever I do he says, "Whatever you do, you are fantastic Rakhi!". Woh bilkul hichkichate nahi hain whenever I wear short costumes or anything. He says, Yeah Rakhi you are perfect! Whatever I talk kabhi mujhe nahi bolte.. because he knows me. Woh jaante hain ki mein jo bhi bolti hoon, sahi bolti hoon. Kabhi kabhi woh mujhe kehte hain ki 'Be diplomatic Rakhi', I said, 'I cant baby, if you want to leave me, leave but I cant be diplomatic.' To bolte hain, 'whatever you are, I love you!"

Karan: Aur yeh jo poora episode explode ho gaya Mika ke saath, aaj kya status hain? Unhone ek video banaya aapke naam, kya kehna chahti hain aap uske baarein mein? Finally kuch khatam karna chahengi is maamle ko?
Rakhi: Mein to pehle se khatam kar chuki hoon but pata nahi kyoon woh cheweing gum ki tarah kheechta jaata hain. Pehle kehta hain woh ladki nahi ladka thi pehle and that I've done 50 surgeries. That's impossible. 50 surgeries ek body mein nahi ho sakti hain.

Karan: Ek meine rumour bhi suna tha ki aap Rakhi Sawant nahi Rakesh Sawant ho!
Rakhi: (Laughs) Arre woh to mera brother hain- Rakesh Sawant.

Karan: Yeh jo gaana banaya tha. Dekha aapne woh video?
Rakhi: That time I was in the house- 3 months mein. To usko laga chalo woh andar gayi hain, usko pata nahi lagega. To usne gaana throw kar diya ki meine uski pappi kyoon li! My God, I think kisi kachre wali ki le leta pappi. I don't know kyoon usne aisa kiya, but God Bless Him! Agar woh mera naam use karke apni publicity karata hain to that's really bad ki kisiko aise use nahi karna chahiye aur meine use kabhi nahi trouble kiya, Karan.
Karan: Aap jaanti thi use?
Haan! Mein uske saath show kar chuki thi, to uske saath party mein gayi thi. Rakhi: Uski birthday party mein usne mujhe call kiya tha, bulaya tha, as a friend. To unhone mujhe misuse kiya but God is there.
Karan: You felt exploited?
Rakhi: Unhone mujhe bahut exploit kiya. Mere naam se controversy ki, usse bahut saari publicity mili, use bahut saare shows mile, uske paas aur koi kaam dhandha nahi hain, woh pappi ki kamai kha raha hain! That's really bad! Aisa nahi karna chahiye, but hes a very good singer! Woh accha gaata hain, accha music deta hain to I don't think use aisi cheezein karni chahiye. Aapne uska zikr kiya toh mein yeh sab keh rahi hoon, warna mein uska zikr bhi nahi karti.

Karan: You don't want to give him that importance?
Rakhi: Of course not! Aur bahut saarein kaam hain zindagi mein.
Karan: Aap bhi gaane lagi hain na. aapka bhi video nikla hain!
Rakhi: Yes! Supergirl!
Karan: To kya hain gaana woh?
Rakhi: Yeh gaana khud meine pehli baar gaya hain. Jab Amitabh Bachchan Sir ga sakte hain, Sanjay Dutt ga sakte hain, Shah Rukhji ga sakte hain, Aamir Khan ga sakte hain, to mein Rakhi Sawant kyoon nahi gaoon? Mein bhi gaoongi! (Sings Supergirl)
Karan: Aap Sher bhi ban chuki thi? PETA ke liye…
PETA ke liye mein brand ambassador bani. Mein logon ko message dena chah rahi thi ki dekhiye waha ek pinjra tha us mein mujha rakha gaya tha ek ghanta. Aur mein yahan se wahan kaise ja rahi thi, bahut buri tarah se mujhe colour lagaya gaya tha, poora paint kiya tha mujhe, paanch ghante tak, sher ka libaas. Hair mere kharaab ho gaya crimping kar ke.
Karan: Aap growl kar rahi thi andar?
Rakhi: Haan! Mujhe bhi feel hua ki My God, yahan pe log to insaan ko nahi bakshte to jaanwaron ko kya bakshenge!
Karan: Wah!
Rakhi: Kehne ka matlab yeh tha ki log aise na kare!

Karan: Lekin aap to ek alag kisam ke pinjre mein bhi kaid thi for 90 days! Rakhi: Woh experience to bahut torturous raha hoga.
Rakhi: Oh my God! Woh to yaad aata hain to meri jaan nikal jati hain.
Karan: Lekin you survived and everybody loved you on that show! Aapki innocence, vulnerability woh sabne dekhi aur sabne pasand ki to kaisa raha? Aap jab yaad karti hain woh din to kaise lagta hain?
Rakhi: Zindagi mein bhool nahi paoongi mein us show ko kyonki us show ne mujhe zindagi di hain aur aaj mein aapke Koffee with Karan show mein baithi hoon, aapke saamne, just because of that show! Woh show ne mujhe izzat di, pyaar diya logon ke dilon mein aur jitni taareef ki, utna kam hain kyonki log mujhe jaante nahi the aur log kehte the item girl, item girl, itna kehke mujhe badnaam kiya.
Karan: Aapko lagta hain, ek cheap sa image tha aapka?
Rakhi: Bahut! Cheap mujhe bana diya tha ek insaan ko!
Karan: Ab class aa gaya hain?
Rakhi: Haan! Kaafi class aa gaya hain, warna Koffee with Karan show Rakhi: mein kaise aa jati mein, because yeh to itna bada show hain. Yaha pe sirf celebrities aate hain aur itne bade bade stars aate hain. Mere naseeb acche hain. Aur Karan thanks a lot, tumne mujhe itni izzat di is show mein bulake. Bahut bahut shukraguzaar hoon mein dil se, bahut duaayen nikalti hain aur yeh aapka show, bahut saalon saalon tak chalein. Mein bahut khush hoon is show mein aake. Mein Mantralaya mein baith jati to bhi mujhe itni khushi nahi hoti jo is show mein aake mujhe hui hain. I swear!
Karan: How sweet!
Rakhi: But woh reality show ne mujhe nayi zindagi di hain. Mein itni khush hoon ki chote chote bacche bhi mujhe pyaar karte hain. Mein jaha jaati hoon, wahan har mummy, har daddy apne bacche ko leke aate hain aur kehte hain, She's Rakhi Sawant! Har baccha kehta hain, I want to become a Rakhi Sawant. Mujhse autograph lete hain, mujhe pyaar karte hain, mujhe bahut accha lagta hain, mujhe bahut accha lagta hain!
Karan: Aap emotional ho rahi ho!
Rakhi: Haan! Newswaalon ne aur sabne itna badnaam kar diya tha mujhe. Mere Daddy phone karke kehte the ki 'Bas, aaj se tu meri beti nahi hain!' Mummy ne mujhe chodh diya. Mummy ne kaha ki 'Yeh kya hain?'. Aap samajh sakte hain, ek ladki ki zindagi mein kya guzarti hain lekin meine Jai Ganesh aur Jesus ka naam liya. Meine kaha koi baat nahi, koi nahi hain mere saath, Bhagwaan hain… mein sacchai se chaloongi. Aur phir reality show mujhe mil gaya aur logon ne mujhe dekha. Lekin mujhe nahi pata tha ki andar kya hoga. Mein to pehele din make up karke, short costume pehen ke, Yeh Mera Dil item number karke andar pahuch gayi red do bag lekar. Mujhe nahi pata tha ki andar ek naukrani ki image ho jayegi, kapde khud dhone padenge, sabki underwears wash karni padegi, pata nahi kya kya karna padega. Dhoban banjaoongi, Sawant Laundry naam rak diya tha mera sabne. Mujhe to laga tha ki waha to royal ki tarah treat karenge. Pata nahi tha khud ko khudi sab kaam karna hain, jhaadu maarna hain, poche lagaane hain. Kuch pata hi nahi tha. Mujhe kuch bataya hi nahi tha ki waha pe hair straightening bhi nahi denge, makeup bhi nahi denge, khud khana pakana hain, wohi daal, wohi rice, wohi roti and jitney bhi contestants hain wohi pakayenge, wohi khilayenge, pata bilkul nahi tha.
Karan: But phir bhi you did very well Rakhi and Congratulations! Everybody loved you on that show!
Rakhi: Thank you! Karan ek baat mein tumse kehna chahoongi ki jabse logon ko pata chala hain ki mein aapke show mein aa rahi hoon, My God! Sabka ravaiya badal gaya hain mere prati. Sab log change ho gaye hain. Aaj tak jo aise dekhta tha (snubs) woh aaj kal "Hello Rakhi, Kaise hain aap!" izzat ki nazar se dekhne lage hain! Kuch zyada respect aur izzat milne lagi hain! Log dekho kaise change ho jate hain, My God! But mein kabhi change nah hongi! Mein bahut shukraguzaar hoon aapne mujhe bulaya yeh show mein!

Karan: Back to the reality show. Sab chale gaye apne apne ghar, are you still in touch with some of the people in the house?
Rakhi: Haan! Rahul Roy ka phone kabhi kabhi aata hain, Carol ka aata hain. Carol jab mein House mein thi to mujhe samajh nahi paati thi, ab woh samajh gayi hai. Raviji ke bhi phone aate hain.

Karan: To Carol aapko nahi samjhi thi?
Rakhi: Ab samajh pai hai. Unhonein mujh jaisi personality kabhi dekhi nahi hain. Mein job hi sochti hoon, muh pe bol deti hoon. Unko to laga, aisa koi insaan hoga hi nahi.


Karan: So how does it feel?
Carol: To be here? Very exciting Karan! Most excited to meet you because Ive been watching this show for the longest time.
Rakhi: And me?
Karan: Not excited to meet Rakhi?
Carol: I've spoken to her a couple of times. Nice to see her because I've not seen her. Shes so funny, shes just hysterical.
Karan: She was just saying that you never understood her when you'll were in the house and you'll didn't have a great equation with each other.
Carol: Which is true because we come from very different backgrounds and unfortunately a lot of times what she would do and things she would do, I would take in the wrong sense because my understanding of the Hindi language is terrible.
Karan: So there was this whole communication issue?
Rakhi: But still, I love her! Sabko omelete banake khilati thi!
Karan: She's lying!
Rakhi: I am not lying!
Karan: I can use my lie-o-meter. Beep! She's lying!
Rakhi: Everybody knows I love her!
Karan: But if you love her why did you on record saying, I am a household name, who is Carol Gracious?
Rakhi: Woh starting mein tha! Abhi khatam ho gaya!
Carol: It is true! I mean if you think about it, it is very true! Even I know Rakhi Sawant. Nobody knows a Carol Gracious, come on.
Rakhi: But now everybody knows her
Carol: But now maybe, a couple might
Rakhi: Jab meine starting mein kaha tha, tab hamari dosti nahi hui thi
Karan: Did you'll sort that out?
Rakhi: Jab meine use jaana-pehchana to woh mujhe bahut acchi lagi!
Carol: We had a couple of chats. If you've seen, even in the house we had a few chats. We had a lot of differences.. we still do, in a way but the thing is… we're not in each other's face so I can actually see the funny side of Rakhi and she is so funny. She's lovely.
Karan: Was she like that right through?
Carol: Yeah! She was. The thing is when you are living with her, its obviously a different thing. But now I can so understand why everyone finds her lovely. She is what she is! And one more thing I like about her.. whatever she does, shes so proud of it. I mean even sittinghere and talkinf in Hindi. This is an English Show! So yeah, why not?
Karan: That's the way she is. And very proudly she told me that she will talk in Hindi and I said absolutely. So tell me would you ever do this again? Would you go on a reality show like this again?
Carol: The reason why its called a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Once in a lifetime! Its done. You cant ever say never but honestly, its been great, its been fantastic in terms of personally, for me but I think the next time, I wont be mentally prepared. This time gave me such a shock with everything around me. Its too much.
Karan: But now you'll are fine with each other. Status is fine?
Carol: Yeah! I call her up once in a while to say hello, to keep a tab on her, to keep her out of trouble.
Karan: Because you never know what she will do next. She landed up with computers out of a jail one day.
Carol: That's when I called her as well. I was feeling so terrible. I mean it was a great intention. This is what I mean.
Karan: She went to a jail with so many computers. But don't you think Rakhi, permission lena chahiye?
Rakhi: Permission liya tha. Waha ke jo jailer hai Swati Sathe, unhonein humein requirement di thi, humein computer chahiye, kambal chahiye aur diabetes check karne ki machine chahiye. Mein mad nahi hu, paagal nahi hu jo computer raatoraat ja ke khada kar doongi, because mein ek ghanta traffic mein late ho gayi and she was not there at that time, she was in Hyderabad, to kisine allow nahi kiya. Aur 28thka humein date diya tha. Itna sara kharcha kiya- saath-aath lakh.
Karan: Aap ko lagta hain reality show ke vajah se sabkuch change ho gaya?
Carol: Not everything, not for me!
Rakhi: Mere liye to sab kuch. Sab negative se positive ho gaya. Item girl se heroine ban gayi hoon.
Karan: Lekin aapko lagta hain Rakhi ki aap mainstream roles nahi kar paayengi jaise main heroine ka role nahi kar paayengi kyonki aapka image nahi hain?
Rakhi: Boss, mein kar rahi hoon!
Karan: Aap kar rahi hain?
Rakhi: Rahul Rawail's movie- Buddha Mar Gaya! It's a comedy movie. It's the main lead! Pehle log mujhe item numbers ke liye bulate the. Jab pehenna hota tha skirt ya shorts to bulate the, ab aisa bilkul nahi hain. Ab ekdum life change ho gayi hain.
Karan: Pehle aap aise comments bhi karti thi- Jo Dikhta Hain, Woh Bikta Hain?
Rakhi: Aaj bhi karti hoon, lekin ab mujhe log bardaasth karte hain aur samajhte hain ki bas, woh aisi hi hain, ek hi piece hain, poore India mein.

Karan: Why baba Rahul?
Rahul: Because I think they all saw the spiritual side that I was trying to follow.
Karan: But I think everyone saw it. You were so calm, composed and so unfazed by everything that was happening around you. Even Rakhi didn't faze you! Rakhi aapka bhi koi effect nahi tha Rahul pe?
Rakhi: Woh pata nahi koi corner mein ja ke koi mantra bolte rehte the aur mein waha se guzarti thi aur sochti thi pata nahi kaunsa mantra bol rahe hain. Mujhe nahi pata tha ki woh jeetne ke mantra bol rahe hain.
Rahul: For Rakhi I'll say one thing, she was absolutely amazing in the house. All of us were together in the house and in the beginning it was very difficult because none of knew each other. It was very difficult to understand what people were thinking and the kind of people that they are! For someone like me, fortunately I had a certain bit of maturity to balance me out or whatever but when I used to see her I used to wonder…
Rakhi: Yeh Kya Piece Hain, aisa?
Rahul: That in a way she was demanding for some kind of attention but then I started realizing that that's the way she is and there is no pretence about her. That's just the way she is. And for Rakhi Sawant as long as there is music, there is dancing, her life is set! Then she will do anything. Let me also tell you, this girl is a very good cook! She cooks an amazing meal! With Carol, again very very strong… give her any task and she was all gung-ho into getting it done and again, an amazing chef!
Karan: Aap kya kehna chahengi Rahul ko? A parting note to Rahul?
Rakhi: Aapne accha nahi kiya, 50 lakhs rupees jeetke! At least hamarein saath share karna tha! Kitna aapne bardaasth kiya, humne bhi kiya. Ek party tak nahi di, kitne kanjoos hain!
Karan: Aur Carol se kya kehna chahengi aap?
Rakhi: Woh ek bahut acchi ladki hain, I love her a lot! Bahut honest hain Carol aur mein use bahut dil se pyaar karti hoon. Mein aur kisiko itna pyaar nahi karti. Sorry Rahulji. Aisa nahi hain ki ladki-ladki hain, kuch aur samjhna nahi!
Rahul: But in her defence, I will say, she has always maintained that she has always liked Carol as a human being.

Karan: Jaane se pehle Rakhi, aap apne style mein kuch kehna chahengi?
Rakhi: Mujhe bahut accha laga ki aaj mein aapke show mein, Koffee with Karan mein aayi. Mein aaj ke baad chai peena chodh doongi, sirf Coffee peeoongi! Agar mein Coffee peeoongi to mein slim bhi ho jaoongi, mujhe doctor ke paas jaane ki zaroorat bhi nahi padegi aur baar baar mujhe aapki yaad aayegi!
