Rakhi accused of molesting a godman

Limelight moth Rakhi Sawant has now taken off on godmen and other saffron-clad religious individuals. In the course of her sojourn on a reality show in Delhi Rakhi who likes to be friendly with people from every walk of life, spread some extra warmth and sunshine on a Delhi-based godman Swami Aravind.

Apparently embrassed by the actress' PDA, the Swami accused Rakhi of “molesting” her.

Livid and somewhat rightly so, Rakhi lashes out, “People call me a publicity seeker. But in my experience those around me are far more publicity-hungry than I am. What can I say about this person, except that I am now used to people earning their bread at my expense.”

Rakhi takes off on the whole cult of godmen. “I think many of these self-declared godmen misuse the saffron robe. Hiding behind that attire they harbour all kinds of evil intentions.

We actresses are often accused of being cheap publicity-seekers. But at least we don't make spread poison in the garb of religion.We don't make a fool of the public.We are what we are.”

Rakhi's co-contestant on the reality-show is Veena Malik who is being labelled the Rakhi Sawant of Pakistan. Apparently there is no love lost between the two during the show and constant friction between them.

Rakhi turns surprisingly diplomatic over the issue. “We are not friends.But we are cordial with each other. If she is known as the Rakhi Sawant of Pakistan I'm happy for her. It isn't a small matter to be whom I am.”

Veena Malik is back, and this time, her dance number is possibly longer than her previous appearances on Bigg Boss.

Veena Malik is back in yet another Indian cricket-based reality TV show, ‘Bigg Toss’, and this time, her dance number is possibly longer than her previous appearances on Bigg Boss.

According to the video description, 12 contestants will be pitted against each other to “cash in on the World Cup fever” with the centre of attraction being “television hotties, Veena Malik and Bollywood item girl Rakhi Sawant.”

With such star power and a few more dance numbers, this show is likely to be yet another major hit. We can definitely expect thousands of eager, perhaps mortified Pakistanis to be scouring through YouTube for more clips of Malik as the show progresses.
Video rating: two thumbs way up for clubbing cricket, reality TV and starlets together.

Why Rakhi and Veena?

They wanted to be different, says Hemant Sharma, news editor of India TV, and that is why they came up with "Bigg Toss", which sees item girl Rakhi Sawant and Pakistani actress Veena Malik entertaining viewers by discussing cricketers in their unique style during the World Cup matches.

"Usually, during the World Cup matches, all the news channels organise discussions with four or five experts in the studio. This concept doesn't excite people anymore. We wanted to do something different so we zeroed in on this concept," Sharma told IANS.

"Bigg Toss", which went on air Feb 17, will be shown only when India is playing. It features 12 contestants divided into two groups who will choose their favourite player from the Indian team and bet on him. The group that scores the maximum points will be declared the winner of a Honda car.

Why Rakhi and Veena?
"Both of them can add a lot of drama to the show and people are interested in watching them on small screen," Sharma said.

Apart from Rakhi and Veena, the list of contestants includes cricketer Yuvraj Singh's father Yograj Singh, singers Shankar Sawhney and Ashok Masti, beautician Sylvie and RJ Simran, among others.

Veena Malik is back with a bang

LAHORE: After making headlines in the industry and creating ripples with heated debates on national television, Pakistani actor Veena Malik is back with a bang. The bold beauty has a keen interest in cricket off late and will now appear on not one, but two television shows on the cricket World Cup for Indian television.
In a show that will hit the small screen on February 19, Malik will serve as host with panelists Ketan Sharma and former Indian cricketer and national coach Anshuman Gaekwad. The programme will fall into a ‘crick-o-tainment’ slot and will discuss cricket and cricketers in a humorous way. It is likely that Bollywood celebrities will come on the show before and during important cricket matches including Salman Khan (the host of “Bigg Boss” Season 4).

While Sharma and Gaekwad will highlight the technicalities of the game, Veena Malik will bring spice and interest to the more colourful aspects of the cricketers.

The two panelists will serve on rotation while Malik will remain on the show throughout the World Cup.
“I have been a diehard cricket fan and follow the game religiously. I have been offered several projects but this is cricket season. I am taking my passion for the game into account which is why I have decided to do the show. I hope that my knowledge about the game and its players will attract my fans both in India and Pakistan,” said Veena Malik, who is currently in India.

A source disclosed that Malik has been given Rs10 million for hosting the show. Talking about her show she said, “This show will be a mixture of cricket and entertainment. I will also discuss famous love affairs of various cricketers,” said Malik.

When asked what team she would support Malik replied, “Of course I will support the Pakistani team in its matches. But I also have sympathies for the Indian team,”she added. When asked about the recent cricket debacle that has wrapped three Pakistani cricketers in a legal mess Malik says, “Salman Butt, Muhammad Amir and Muhammad Asif have disappointed cricket fans in Pakistan. I believe that if Asif has done something wrong then he should not only be banned, he ought to be jailed.”

Other than hosting a cricket show, She will also participate in a programme titled “Bigg Toss.” Some 14 contestants will all live in a villa, the contestants will be divided into two teams and choose the players of their choice. Based on the performance of their chosen players, the teams will be given marks — the team whose players perform well, will win the show.

The participants of the show include Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh’s father Yograj Singh Bundhel, Rakhi Sawant, radio Jockey Simran, Indian Punjabi pop singer Ashok Masti, model and TV anchor Divya Jaitley, former Delhi University student and union leader Amrita Dhawan, singer and guitarist Shanker Sawhney, Zoobi Doobi singer Zahid Nigam, Congress leader Mukesh Sharma, Haryana wrestler Sangram Singh, hairstylist Swlvie and MTV contestants Sakshi Bhayala and Shiva Devotee.

“The participants will also discuss their favourite players but according to the show’s format the participants can only choose Indian cricketers,” said Malik explaining the dynamics of the show.
While talking about her stay in India, Veena Malik said that she has a three-month visa for India and will most probably spend all this time in India.

Veena Malik, Ashmit Patel together again!

Actors Ashmit Patel and Veena Malik got a lot of publicity on the reality show Bigg Boss 4.

Their fame has not left them alone even after the show.

Ashmit and Veena, who have made viewers confused about the relationship between them, were apparently offered Rs. 30 lakh to enter a reality show together.

However, the offer was not quiet luring to them.

The couple has reportedly demanded a big sum of amount for appearing on the show together.

It is also reported that they are willing to enter the show if the channel offers them Rs. 50 lakh.

Veena Malik makes it to Twitter trends

Veena Malik took Pakistani Twitteratti by storm Friday night, reaching the top ten Twitter trends worldwide following her exclusive interview on Express News’ programme “Frontline with Kamran Shahid”, after her return to Pakistan from India.

ProPakistani, the Pakistani telecom and IT news website, reported that Veena Malik became the first Pakistani woman ever to trend on Twitter worldwide.
Malik’s much controversial participation on the Indian reality TV show “Big Boss 4″ had created much debate in Pakistan, with many accusing her of “not representing the Pakistani woman” on an international forum. There had been a surge of shows, articles and statements condemning her participation and performance on “Big Boss 4″.

Mentions of Veena Malik on the Twitter timeline on Friday started at 8pm when a private television channel aired a show discussing Malik’s participation on “Big Boss 4″. The mentions spiked when Express News aired an interview with her at 10pm. While many Twitter users came out voicing their appreciation for the stance she had presented on the show, others condemned Malik for her performance.

Did Veena and Ashmit make love in Bigg Boss?

'Bigg Boss 4' has probably attracted the viewers for its controversial contestants and their constant controversial acts.

The most footage was offered by Bollywood actor Ashmit Patel and Pakistani actress Veena Malik, who went on showing their fondness for each other in front of everyone.

Now, it has been about two weeks when Bigg Boss announced its winner for the fourth season but the reality show is still making news for its controversial scenes.

Now, one of the ex-housemates of the show has revealed that the duo had done every possible thing to keep the camera on them.

The contestant added that the duo must have made love during their task to keep the 'diya' protected during Diwali.

The contestant on the condition of anonymity further added that the duo was seen cuddling inside the quilt and surely have gone to that extreme extent as they were left alone for the entire night there.

The person said that the probable couple made everyone feel uneasy with their public display of love often.

The contestant said that they could not properly sit along with them because of their disgusting behaviour. The person added that there was much more than casual hugging between them.

However, Ashmit Patel denied it saying that he would have loved to do that with Veena Malik but he never intended to that and it was not possible because of the constant glance of the cameras.

Well, we hope Ashmit is really speaking the truth!
