Rakhi Sawant : Why can’t I be like Smita Patil
Item girl Rakhi Sawant, who has signed a new semi-autobiographical Broadway-style Bollywood musical called Balti Devi: Queen Of Southall, is looking for an image makeover. “If I want I can make people weep like Meena Kumari. I live in India and I do feel uncomfortable with my image sometimes. Whatever I’ve done so far is because the public demanded it. It’s the public that’s undressing me,” Rakhi said.
“Heroines send me SMS messages asking why I dress up the way I do. What right do they have to question me? Why can’t a nice clean film like Swami click? And why can’t I be cast in roles like Smita Patil? Even she did hot scenes,” she added.
Her much-touted stint in Buddha Mar Gaya died a quiet death. Talking about the film, she said: “I’m made to behave and dress in a certain way because of who I am. I was pulled up for making love with older men like Anupam Kherji, Om Puriji and Prem Chopraji in Buddha Mar Gaya. If I did the same with Shah Rukh Khan, people would applaud.”
Rakhi’s semi-autobiographical musical will be directed by the legendary Shammi Kapoor’s son Mickey Kapoor, who earlier made Sambar Salsa and Don’t Stop Dreaming.
Balti Devi is the story of a poor Southall girl who dances and sings her way to stardom. “It’s a story almost like Rakhi’s own. And she’s so perfect for the part. I couldn’t think of anyone else. Rakhi gets to sing and dance. She’s the male Govinda and this film showcases her aptitudes,” said Mickey.
All said and done, Rakhi loves media attention.
