Rakhi’s Raddi Ki Tokri…
She has done it again!
True to her history of treating her men as slippers to be flung into the dustbin after using them for a while, she has given the boot to Elesh Parujanwala, her so-called groom, selected in that tamasha called Rakhi Ka Swyamvar.
Even as quite a multitude of viewers were glued to this ‘Aao shaadi, shaadi khelen’ claptrap, the fact remains that it was a big, fat sham from day one and one of biggest hoaxes played on the audiences on the tube, as this so-called Shaadi was just not to be!
But of that, later! Shall we first look at Rakhi’s Raddi Ki Tokri?
Remember a certain someone who answered to the call of ‘Abhishek’? Well, he was a nobody in the strictest definition of the word and was apparently itching to be somebody, somewhere, sometime. Well, he did it! He hopped onto one who was somebody and became a perfect case of a celebrity-climber, basking in reflected glory.
Though not quite your idea of a celebrity, the item-girl did have a name in the show-biz and she took a fancy to him and tied him to her apron strings. He lapped up the chance of being tagged to someone who was ‘known’ to the world (for the better or worse – didn’t matter a hoot!). Yes – that’s the Abhishek tale, which was written by Rakhi Sawant. The scene was perfect for him what with being able to snatch some limelight, even if on the rebound and being a willing feed to be gobbled up by a hungry media as Rakhi’s guy.
The scenario was perfect for Rakhi, too. She loved being a man-owner and merrily strutted about, flaunting Abhishek in the toe.
The media drank up the juicy bit of the Rakhi-Abhiskek ‘cuddle-coo’ to the last drop. And the way Rakhi treated her beau with all her tangy tantrums, her sudden spurts of impatience with him, her fits of fury, her nakhras – it was evident that she was having a whale of a time enjoying this piece of property called Abishek.
She was also cashing this relation big time, by say, participating in the Jodi-shows like Nach Baliye, which must have meant a mound of moolah to her.
And the cat went on playing with the mouse and the mouse with the cat. Rakhi had a ball, having before her a man at his knees 24x7. And she loved switching on and off her love (?) as per her mood-swings. Also, this ‘affair’ was laid out as a delicious spread for anybody, who cared to have a bite of it. If you thought that’s ugly, just look at this – once, the publicity-hungry twosome did a big Khela for public consumption. Abhishek went to Rakhi’s house, supposedly to Manaao her after a supposed tiff. Only, he had tagged along a news channel too, with its cameras and all. And the cameras had a field day cannibalising this scene where he grappled with a watchman, barged into the house, reached Rakhi and kneeled before her asking for forgiveness in true 18th century style
