Siren of the Week: Rakhi Sawant

Rakhi Sawant is the synonym of Oomph. After ruling Bollywood with her jhatkas and matkas, she has now got the small screen fan in thrall.

Daughter of a Mumbai cop, Rakhi graduated to stardom by dancing to music video numbers. India drooled...! Her journey to fame started when Bollywood director Suneel Darshan cast her, still in school, in ‘Joru Ka Ghulam’ opposite Govinda (an item song, of course).

The super siren with steely eyes is not one to shirk risks. She was one of the earliest Bolly celebs to jump on to the reality show bandwagon; she made her presence felt in shows such as ‘Bigg Boss’ and ‘Nach Baliye’; and even won the dance reality show, ‘Yeh Hai Jalwa’.

Though she has enough and more offers from the big screen, Rakhi finds time for TV. She is now seen on the judges’ panel of the dance-reality show, ‘Chota Packet Bada Dhamaka’ on Zee.
