Rakhi Sawant’s heart bleeds for the
under-privileged. In a chat with TWF correspondent Vickey
Lalwani, Rakhi talks about her traumatic childhood, her boyfriend
and lots more
How did you think of donating computers?
I have earned some money in life. Now, I want to do some charity.
So, I gave away four computers to a municipal school- Gyan
Sagar Vidyamandir- which is near to my house in Oshiwara.
Also, I made sure that they would be using it for the student
fraternity and not for their personal use. I took a letter
from the school declaring that. Only then, I called for the
computers and went with Lion Governor Raju Mavani to the school
to give them away.
Why computers per se? You wanted to donate some computers
in jails too but weren't allowed...
Yeah. Today, I see the whole world working on computers. Not
that my job requires to work on computers, but the tragic
fact is that I don't know anything about computers except
that I can check my mail. Main nahin chahti ki koi bhi bache
ki mere jaise halat ho. I see that the municipal schools are
still devoid of computers and I want to rectify the situation
to whatever extent I can. I want computers to reach all municipal
schools.
But how did your attention focus on municipal schools?
I have studied in a municipal school and have seen many hardships
in life. My father could not support us. I was often thrown
out from those schools.
Why didn't your father support you?
He was in police and not at a senior post then. Plus, he shirked
responsibility.
Why were you thrown out from schools?
My mother used to cook up sad tales that I don't have a father
who can pay my fees, and get me admitted. We used to stay
in a chawl. Somehow, every time, the schools used to learn
the truth and sack me. I changed many schools and somehow
completed my tenth standard.
Today, your father is staying with his first wife (Rakhi's
mom is Mr Sawant's second wife)?
I don't want to comment on that.
Go on...
I miss my father. When I am alone, I often cry. You have not
seen that side of Rakhi Sawant and neither you will. I will
bravely fight all the odds in my life.
How are your relations with your mother now?
Just because I want to stay separately, does not mean that
I don't care for my mother. Today, she is unwell. She has
been operated for stones in stomach. I am paying the medical
expenses which are billing to approximately Rs 80,000.
Your mom doesn't like your boyfriend Abhishek, but there’s
a buzz that you’ve tied the knot.
Are you crazy? Why should I marry now? It will affect my position
in the industry.
That’s probably why you’re hiding it.
I swear on Ganpati baba. I swear on my career. I have not
married Abhishek yet. I would definitely like to marry him,
but after five years.
Why so long?
I want to go further in my career. Plus, I want Abhishek to
settle down in life. How long can I continue earning? A girl
has a limited span in this industry, so it’s essential
that my man becomes independent and successful.
A film glossy has claimed the marriage happened on May 21?
That publication simply wants to create a sensation.
Sources say he is after your money?
I don’t think so. We truly love each other. However,
if he does have bad intentions, God won’t spare him.
What does he want to do in life?
He wants to be an actor. To begin with, he will be with me
in a big dance show. I can’t spill the details, but I
can tell you it’s a very big show. Abhishek and I will
make an official announcement in this regard in the next 30
days.
