Sawant’s next big break came when she discovered she had a flair for reality television. She gained instant household notoriety in Season 1 of the reality show Bigg boss, where her constant bickering with other house mates was an added source of entertainment. In 2009 she announced that she would hold a swayamwar on national television to find a husband. At the completion of the swayamwar, which was a ratings hit, Rakhi chose Canadian citizen Elesh Parujanwala. However she chose to get engaged to Parujanwala rather than marry him. Later she announced that the couple had parted ways. Her next attempt at a reality show was a Rakhi version of Judge Amy. Or an attempt to impersonate King Solomon.
Sawant announced that she would settle disputes between people, saving them the trouble of going before the legal system. However her show was pulled off prime time slots after one of the participants committed suicide because she called him impotent. Apart from her own shows, Sawant regularly makes appearances on other reality shows as either a host, a participant or a judge. She also makes sure she’s never too far away from the spotlight. She has regularly expressed admiration for Rahul Gandhi but has seemingly moved on to the bearded Ramdev – he of the better physique. “I’m ready to marry him yaar”, she said. “He’s so hot”.
