Rakhi Sawant and Elesh Parujanwala in a press meet

Sounding utterly blissful Rakhi Sawant a day after her deferred marriage, blames her husband to Elesh Parunjwala for their postponed wedding.

“I was all set to marry Elesh on Sunday. But it was Elesh who said he wanted more time to get to know me.

I’m very confident of him. But if he needs more time to get to know me, how can I force myself on him? I’m ready to wait as long as he wants. Why don’t you ask Elesh the date?”

Now for her wedding Rakhi wants to invite all her friends. But not her mother.

“Please, all that nautanki on television for five minutes can’t take away the pain I’ve gone through. As far as I’m concerned that chapter of my life is closed.

But yes I completely forgive Abhishek Awasathi I was very surprised to know he showed up on Sunday for my scheduled wedding. Surprised and touched. If I knew I’d have welcomed him. Yesterday he was my boyfriend. Today he’s my friend.”

The other eliminated contestants from the show also showed up to wish the couple.


Sighing ecstatically Rakhi says, “I’m completely sure Elesh is the man for me. But I do have a career in Mumbai. So he’ll have to plan our future accordingly.”

Elesh in fact plans to take Rakhi to Toronto for his sister’s wedding.

Says Elesh, “My sister is getting married on August 16 and it would be a good occasion for Rakhi to get to know my entire family. She needs to get familiar with my family.

I’m trying to get her visa done. And there should be no problem, because Rakhi will be in the US before that.”

Elesh has started an international film academy in Mumbai. And that will be his main business in Mumbai.

“I’ve a family business in Toronto. But to start afresh in Mumbai I need time. It should all be in place by November. By then we should be ready for marriage. I am very sure Rakhi is the girl I want to marry.”
