RadioOne's Rakesh Kumar is still recovering from his encounter with Rakhi Sawant
Thunder, lightening, earthquake, tornado, volcano and tsunami... if these were to acquire a human form, what would the result be? Rakhi Sawant!
Blessed with the deadly capabilities of all the above calamities, which can wreck havoc, chaos and absolute mayhem,u00a0 Rakhi Sawant is someone has the words, 'Caution... Maniac Ahead' emblazoned on her forehead. Who would know this better than ME and her ex boyfriend Abhishek? (That doesn't mean I am her current boyfriend.
My loyalties lie with Prithvi!)
We were the ones to break the news to nammooru Bengalooru about Rakhi Sawaant and her upcoming swayamvar. And now, here's the lowdown on my wild encounter with her via telephone.
With no life insurance cover whatsoever, I dialled Rakhi.
Rakesh: Hello, Rakhi
Rakhi:u00a0 (In her best 'will-eat-you-up-whole simper) Hiiiiii Rakesh.
Rakesh: (With trembling lips and tremulous voice) Rakhi, I kind of heard about this weird reality show that has been designed specially for you, where you will legally marry the winner of the show. Is this true?
Rakhi: Yes, Rakesh. Bilkul sahi suna tumne. This TV channel will select 20 men for my reality show: Rakhi Ka Swayamvar. The men will have to go through different difficult tasks. And I will marry one person at the end of the show. Proper legal shaadi karoongi main ussey.
Rakesh: Rakhi, yeh aapke life ka sawal hai. Are you going to decide your life partner over a mere reality show on TV?
Rakhi: Rakesh, tumhare liye yeh baas ek reality show hai. Lekin mere liye, this TV channel... this reality show... is everything. Agar humari janta Ramayan mein Sita ka swayamvar accept kar sakti hai to Rakhi ka kyoon nahin?
And then, there was a silence for about 5 seconds. Probably, she expected me to stand up and clap. Before she could attack me for not applauding her stance, I congratulated her on her heroic attempt to find her hero. The moment I said that, God knows what happened to her! She suddenly went on a self appraisal spree...
u00a0
Rakhi: Rakesh, main ek bharatiya naari hoon; ek independent Indian ladki hoon,u00a0 jisne yeh bold step utthaya hain. Maine hamesha life mien struggle kiya hain; main fight karoongi, is duniya se and Rakhi will get what she wants.u00a0 Bye!
Phew! So this is what Ms Sawant is all about! I am sure, even God at times wonders, how he happened to make such a cut piece. And people remark that Prithvi and I are the asli namoonas! Catch more such masti and lunacy on Bengalooru Fatafat every morning between 7 and 11 only on 94.3 RadioOne.
