“For
me
he
is
not
Sanjay
Dutt,
the
star
he
is
just
another
criminal," says
Rakhi
Sawant
in
a
no-holds-barred
interview
with
GR8
magazine.
In
hindsight
she
echoes
the
sentiments
of
people
who
say:
“ek
din
yeh
sach
tumhe
le
dubega".
But
without
batting
an
eyelid,
she
answers
in
the
same
breath,
“but
if
I
stop
being
honest
how
do
I
survive?
I
talk
to
myself
and
I
try
be
diplomatic
but
I
cannot
do
it,"
the
item
girl
says.
She
also
calls
herself
a
Brand.
Purists
may
like
it
or
not,
but
this
bindaas
babe
makes
a
better
event
(better
news
rather)
than
some
of
the
biggest
celebrities.
It"s
time
you
get
to
know
this
child-woman
a
bit
better
as
she
dissects
her
childhood
till
it
becomes
naked.
And
yes….at
the
age
of
ten,
Rakhi
Sawant
was
serving
food
at
Tina
Ambani"s
wedding,
while
today
she
owns
a
plush
apartment
in
an
up-market
Mumbai
suburb.
Guys,
keep
your
handkerchief
ready…
When
I
was
a
child
men
would
scare
me
with
their
eyes...
Our
Khandaan
had
orthodox
men
who
would
keep
women
in
control
and
would
scare
us
with
their
eyes.
No
standing
out
in
balconies,
no
beauty
parlors,
no
dancing
during
Navratris...
So
I
grew
up
being
very
angry
and
decided
to
break
all
rules
to
become
a
rebel.
I
was
11
years
old
and
immediately
after
coming
home
an
appendix
operation,
with
Zidd
I
decided
to
go
and
play
dandia
even
if
they
would
kill
me
because
my
body
has
started
recognising
music
and
rhythm.
When
I
came
back
home
my
mother
and
mama
decided
to
teach
me
a
lesson
and
cut
my
long
hair
into
a
short
crop
which
looked
burnt
and
when
I
saw
myself
in
the
mirror
that
night
I
cried
a
lot.
My
mama
hit
me
so
badly
that
my
hand
had
to
be
stitched
and
the
marks
still
remain.
That
very
day
I
decided
that
even
if
the
entire
world
is
de
against
me
I
will
do
what
I
want
to.
I
ask
God
why
you
gave
me
such
a
family...
I
cry
a
lot
since
childhood
and
ask
God
why
did
you
give
me
such
a
family
who
tortures
women
and
gives
freedom
to
men
only?
My
mother"s
only
motto
in
life
was
to
make
me
earn
money.
In
a
chawl
system
parents
don"t
allow
a
girl
to
go
outside
and
play
but
when
it
comes
to
earning
money
they
allow
her
to
go
ahead
and
do
anything.
That
time
they
forget
the
shame
and
humour
to
the
family.
When
I
was
around
10
years
of
age
I
was
working
for
a
caterer
to
earn
daily
wages
of
50
rupees
and
I
have
served
food
at
Tina
Ambani"s
wedding.
I
don"t
want
to
go
back
to
my
childhood
even
in
exchange
of
diamonds...
I
still
try
to
find
my
childhood
somewhere…
like
a
kid
I
love
to
eat
popcorn,
and
watch
films
which
is
so
sad.
All
these
little
things
I
missed
doing
earlier.
Even
if
someone
gives
me
diamonds
to
go
back
to
my
childhood
I
won"t!
My
career
is
on
an
upswing
and
I
have
become
a
brand...
Years
back
as
a
newcomer
I
had
no
knowledge
of
anything
and
while
going
to
meet
producers
I
have
worn
clothes
that
girls
today
wear
to
go
to
the
disc.
That
is
what
I
was
told
to
do
and
I
did
it
because
that
time
I
didn"t
know
that
clothes
don"t
get
you
work,
talent
does!
Today
I
am
busy
doing
Hindi
films
and
if
get
South
or
Marathi
films
it
is
Ok
but
the
role
should
have
dum.
I
would
like
to
work
with
Rajnikant.
On
Television
post.
Bigg
Boss,
I
have
been
a
judge,
done
gags
and
now
will
be
seen
dancing
in
Nach
Baliye
3.
But
I
am
excited
about
anchoring
a
chat
show
for
a
new
channel
in
which
I
will
interview
celebrities
from
all
walks
of
life.
I
am
everything
–
actor,
dancer,
performer
all
in
one!
Aisi
koi
bhi
khubi
nahi
hai
jo
mujh
mein
nahi
hai
Apart
from
being
an
actor
and
dancer
I
am
a
good
human
being
with
a
helpful
nature.
Of
course
I
think
I
have
become
a
brand
and
why
not
after
so
much
of
hard
work!
Only
Abhishek
has
given
me
true
love...
My
bad
childhood
has
made
me
a
less
loving
person.
I
am
very
cut-to-cut
and
blunt.
Even
with
Abhishek,
I
am
not
a
romantic
person
at
all
whereas
he
is
very
romantic.
If
there
is
someone
on
this
earth
who
can
cool
me
down
it
is
him…
he
makes
me
laugh.
Many
people
misinterpret
my
relationship
with
Abhishek
because
they
can
think
only
of
sex
but
there
is
nothing
of
that
sort
between
us.
When
I
want
to
relax
l
sleep
and
before
sleeping
if
he
does
not
sing
me
a
lori
I
don"t
get
sleep.
I
like
Cinderella"s
story
a
lot.
'Papa"
that
is
what
I
affectionately
call
Abhishek
sings
gudiya
rani…
beetiya
rani…
pariyon
ken
naggers
se
ek
din
raj
kunwarji
aayenge…
and
I
instantly
fall
asleep.
The
way
Abhishek
mere
sar
pa
haath
ghoomata
hai
woh
haath
ghoomata
hai
woh
pyaar
mujhe
kabhi
nahi
mila…
maa
se
na
baap
se…
sirf
dhitkar
mila
hai!
I
want
to
make
Abhishek
a
star…
he
is
a
better
dancer
than
me
in
Nach
Baliye...
Abhishek
has
held
my
hand…
for
what
reason
I
don"t
know?
Whether
he
loves
me…
I
don"t
know?
But
since
he
is
in
my
custody
it
becomes
my
duty
to
do
something
for
him
along
with
doing
something
for
my
mother,
brother
and
sister.
I
want
to
establish
Abhishek"s
career
and
see
him
progress
in
his
life.
My
aim
is
to
make
him
a
star
and
I
am
working
on
that,
if
after
that
he
wants
to
leave
me
I
am
ok
with
it
but
I
know
he
will
not
leave
me
and
go
because
he
won"t
get
a
girl
like
me
anywhere
else.
Right
now
we
are
very
happy
and
have
decided
that
we
will
never
lie
to
each
other.
Me
and
Abhishek
stay
together,
go
out,
watch
films,
go
shopping
and
enjoy
our
lives
now.
He
is
a
great
dancer,
he
dances
better
then
me,
and
he
will
be
a
tough
competition
for
others
in
Nach
Baliye
3!
Mera
pyaar
sirf
ek
dancer
se
hee
ho
sakta
tha.
Agar
muhje
koi
crazy
kar
sakta
hai
to
who
sirf
dancer
hi
hoga
aur
kuch
nahi!
But
I
will
never
get
married
and
have
my
own
babies...
I
am
not
interested
in
marriage
as
I
don"t
want
any
commitment
and
I
don"t
want
to
have
my
own
kids.
I
have
clearly
told
Abhishek
my
intentions
and
I
don"t
care
if
he
feels
bad
about
it
because
I
have
been
honest
right
from
the
beginning.
I
want
to
devote
my
life
the
social
causes
and
if
he
supports
me
it"s
ok
otherwise
I
will
say
alvida
to
him
and
ask
him
to
many
someone
else.
I
have
seen
so
much
of
trouble
in
my
life
but
Abhishek
has
not
shared
them
with
me
so
obviously
he
will
not
understand
my
loss…
