Rakhi Sawant Explains Motivations Behind Participating in 'Rakhi Ka Swayamwar' Reality Show
Rakhi Sawant revealed she participated in the 2009 reality show 'Rakhi Ka Swayamwar' primarily to earn money to buy a house, not to find love. She dated 16 men on the show and chose Canada-based businessman Elesh Parujanwala, with whom she got engaged but did not marry. Rakhi said the contestants were mostly struggling individuals and that her focus was on her Bollywood career. The show's concept later continued with 'Rahul Dulhaniya Le Jayega' in 2010.
