Rakhi Sawant makes waves where ever she goes, be it Bigg Boss or Nach Baliye 3 in which the zippy girl is participating along with her boyfriend Abhishek Awasthi. Excerpts from an interview with the couple:
Is one of you better than the other at dance?
Rakhi: Abhishek is a better dancer any day!
Any funny incidents that occurred on the sets of Nach Baliye 3?
Abhishek: It is not exactly funny, but while shooting the first episode of Nach Baliye 3, there was a split in the closing sequence of our dance and I tore my thigh tissue very badly. The doctor has told me to take five days of bed rest. Due to that, I have not been able to attend my rehearsals, and that is very scary because“Yeh nach nahin aasaan!” (laughs)
What according to you are your chances of winning the contest?
Rakhi: It all depends on the junta and the judges. We feel that it will be a fair game only if there are no politics involved.
Rakhi, your last film Buddha Mar Gaya didn’t do too well at the Box Office.
I did my best. People have appreciated me in the movie. The rest depends on the director. I think he showed some scenes which were not appreciated by audience.
What other film projects do you have coming your way?
Rakhi: There’s Balti Devi: Queen of Southall that has been produced by Aditya Raj Kapoor (Shammi Kapoor’s son). There are others in the pipeline.
Abhishek, what has been keeping you busy these days?
Nach Baliye, Nach Baliye, Nach Baliye!
Any chance of the two of you starring in a film together?
Abhishek: If we get a good offer, of course! We have done a snippet together in Comedy Ka Baadshah earlier.
Any plans of you both tying the knot?
Abhishek: Not right now. Not in the near future either.
Rakhi, if you had to ask Karan Johar a question, what would it be?
First of all, I want to thank him from the bottom of my heart for the two Koffee awards that he has given me. The second one was for being his best celebrity guest on the show. I am still excited about having got that award!
And to Karan I say again: ‘I am always there if you need me for your next movie!’ (laughs)
If there was a reality show like Temptation Island in India, would you participate in it?
Rakhi: I don’t think such a show will enter television screens in India… and if it does then, jab aaya tab dekha jayega!
