Rakhi Sawant’s marriage WAS a big hoax (not surprising!)

It’s not surprising that Rakhi Sawant takes the media for a ride over and over again. What is surprising is that a section of the media gets taken in each time. Or pretends to be taken in each time, since it is impossible for any media person to actually believe what this queen of delusion says.

Ms Sawant has declared herself married at least four times in the past. The last ‘marriage’ was to a Pakistani stand-up comedian who was apparently too gay to be any woman’s bridegroom.

Well, just months later, Ms Sawant was at it again. This time she claimed she was married at the Marriott hotel on July 28 to an ‘NRI’. However, a cursory check at the venue would show there was no wedding, certainly not Rakhi Sawant’s, on the aforementioned date. Yet some portals chose to highlight Sawant’s “wedding" pictures and her gushing declaration on her new "husband" named Ritesh.

No Ritesh was visible in any picture that Sawant sent out.

After reading about her latest ‘marriage’, I sent a congratulatory message to Ms Sawant. She replied with a coy thanks. Then I asked who the lucky guy was. She responded by saying that she can’t reveal his name. Immediately after this, she sent a voice message saying, his name is Ritesh, and that if I interviewed her she would reply to all my questions.

Significantly, there is not one picture of Ms Sawant’s supposed husband ‘Ritesh’ anywhere.

Turns out this was one more hoax attempt by the queen of self-generated controversies to stay in the news. What a shame that a section of the media is so anxious to get attention that they seek the services of the most unabashed attention-seeker in the Indian entertainment industry.

Now who is the idiot here? The one who takes the media for a ride? Or those that get taken in time after time?
