Biography:-

Known as the "Item Girl" of Bollywood, Rakhi has been charged for Obscenity for her gestures and skimpy costume at a stage show in Kolhapur, Maharashtra, India.

Before Rakhi was famous she worked odd jobs. She once worked as a server at Tina Munmin's wedding.

Love her, hate her, but it is impossible to ignore her. Rakhi Sawant’s persona, some would say, has been carved out of controversies. This police constable’s daughter, began her career as a dancer in nightclubs, and came into limelight with the remix number Pardesiya. Bold and revealing dresses, vulgar and obscene gestures, and bindaas comments on all and sundry have been a boon as well as a bane for this struggling starlet, item girl and a participant in television reality shows. Rakhi Sawant, who was in the city yesterday, talks to NT, clad in a red and green salwar kameez, with heavy zardozi work and a dupatta to match, (she says she has been wearing this for the last four days). She waxes eloquent about the more serious issues of life, her career, and her desire to do social service.
Television changed my life
“Whatever success that I am seeing today is all thanks to television. Reality show Bigg Boss changed my life and took me into millions of homes where viewers saw me the way I am– honest, truthful and straightforward. I am now looking forward to the reality dance show, which will commence soon on television. I am rehearsing hard and am confident of doing well.”

It is important to sport a western look
“I am basically very Indian at heart. Ek sadharan Hindustani ladki hoon, but if you wish to be noticed today, you need to have a western look. Short dresses, the pout, light eyes and coloured hair get instant recognition in this industry. Only Ekta Kapoor can sell a sati savatri. This industry needs oomph. I had to market myself so I acquired a western look.”
