Rakhi
Sawant
has
given
the
censor-board
a
week
to
explain
what
she
considers
their
irrational
decision
to
ban
her
song.
“I"ll
wait
for
a
week
and
then
I
go
on
a
bhookh
hartaal
in
front
of
the
censor
office," warns
Rakhi.
Rakhi
Sawant
ko
gussa
kyon
aata
hai?
It"s
the
kameena
ways
of
the
moral
police.
The
always-in-the-news
actress
is
excessively
angry
with
the
censor
board.
“Fearlessly
I"ve
sent
a
legal
notice
to
the
censor
board.
This
is
the
first
time
something
like
this
has
happened.
Others
do
chamchagiri
of
the
censor
board.
Not
me.
I"m
Rakhi
Sawant.
Main
ishwar
ki
beti
hoon.
The
censor
board
has
done
me
injustice
by
deleting
the
word
Kamini
from
my
song.
I
won"t
take
it
lying
down.
Dharmendra
has
been
saying
the
word
kaminey
for
years.
Vishal
Bhardwaj"s
Kaminey
came,
were
the
censors
asleep?
There"re
heroines
doing
love-making
scenes
with
their
bare
backs
showing.
Bhardwaj"s
films
invariably
have
characters
mouthing
maa-bahen
galis.
If
Rakhi
Sawant
sings
Kamini
tera
bhoot
chad
gaya
re
the
censor
board
gets
stung.
The
song
has
been
produced
by
my
company
Faith
Inc.
and
I"m
being
damaged."
The
argument
that
the
word
kamini
is
inappropriate
on
television
holds
no
water
for
Rakhi.
“Kyon?
In
the
trailers
of
'Ishqiya" they
show
Vidya
Balan
punch-drunk
on
television,
and
that
too
in
a
saree.
Is
that
allowed
in
our
culture?
Ladkiyan
Khule-aam
choli
utaar
rahi
hai.
What
was
Choli
ke
peeche
kya
hai?
What
were
they
asking?
We
all
know
what"s
behind
the
choli.
If
that
can
be
air
played
for
years
why
my
song
can"t
be
telecast?"
Rakhi
then
takes
off
on
television
serials.
“Look
at
serials
like
Uttaran,
Bairi
Piya
and
Bandini.
Young
girls
are
being
shown
getting
raped
and
forced
to
marry
under-age.
Women
get
married
repeatedly,
sometimes
five
times.
Isn"t
this
against
the
Indian
laws?
Isn"t
this
against
Indian
culture?
What
is
the
censor
board
doing
about
such
practices?
Rakhi
Sawant
uses
the
word
kamini
and
it
becomes
a
dirty
word.
In
serials
we
have
men
dragging
their
wives
by
their
hair
muttering.
'Kamini
main
tujhe
chodunga
nahin." No
one
pays
any
attention.
Why
point
a
finger
at
me?
Stop
all
the
malpractice
on
television
and
I
too
will
shut
up.
We
live
in
a
corrupt
and
hypocritical
democracy
where
the
institutions
appointed
to
monitor
morality
are
bribed.
Producers
go
with
bulging
suitcases
and
get
their
films
passed.
Aisa
nahin
chalega."
