Battle of item girls: Rakhi Sawant vs Veena Malik

Published

Call it the battle of Bollywood’s bombshells. Incumbent Rakhi Sawant, the ruling melodrama queen and one of industry’s hottest item girls, is furious with newcomer Veena Malik, who is playing every trick in the trade book to dethrone Rakhi as tinsel town’s controversy queen.

Rakhi Sawant, whose assets have been compared with socialite Paris Hilton, is clearly upset with Veena Malik's antics. She has said that the Pakistani actress, who is all set to participate in a reality show to get married in ‘swayamvar’ style, is unfit to host the show due to her marital status.

Rakhi, who has herself hosted the show in the past (and said she wanted to marry a starving baba), alleges that Veena Malik, who went topless recently in a publicity stunt, is already married, and therefore cannot get married again – reality TV or not.

“The whole industry knows that she is married and now, she is in a live-in relationship with Ashmit Patel. I haven’t heard of any man wanting to marry a married woman, and who’s living in with another man. I want to know where these contestants (grooms) are coming from,” Rakhi said in a bid to unsettle the emerging controversy queen.

It must be recalled that, last week, Malik did a vanishing act and cooked up a storm by going incommunicado for almost two days, fuelling rumours that she had been kidnapped or even killed following the appearance of her nude images for a men’s magazine.

“I haven’t seen anybody more irresponsible than her. She goes into hiding like a Gaddafi saying she’s unwell. You only go into hiding if you are guilty. She is fooling the whole world,” says a visibly bitter Rakhi.

The controversial Pakistani actress Veena Malik has remained in headlines for a while now, but for all the wrong reasons. And when one attributes all these activities as a desperate publicity seeking measure, the actress who went topless recently, gets on top of sympathy mode.

“I was very stressed with all my shoots and had hardly slept a wink and this friend of mine dropped me at the hotel at my insistence. She had registered me under my name Zahida which is the name on my passport,” she says.

Veena claims that she was under duress and hence went off to sleep after taking antibiotics. “Before going off to sleep, I called up my mother and informed her that I am going to sleep and will call her once I am up,” says Veena.
