Love life
An overview
Rakhi Sawant's love life has always been in the news, often for the drama that the actress creates. Currently, there was a raging controversy over her marriage to beau Adil Durrani! But a few hours back it got resolved with Adil finally admitting that Rakhi is his wife. Here's a look at Rakhi's relationships that have made news for over a decade now...
Recently she cried in front of the media saying she doesn't know why Adil was refusing to admit that they were married. “I got married to Adil in July last year after three months of knowing him. We had a nikah ceremony and a court marriage. Since he stopped me from disclosing it, I remained tightlipped for the past seven months. Now he isn't acknowledging our marriage," she said. Adil has now finally admitted; in an instagram post, he said, "I never said I am not married to you Rakhi, Just had to handle a few things so had to be quiet."
It all started when in June, Rakhi made a video call to Adil at a public event and announced her relationship. Adil, who is six years younger to Rakhi, also gifted her a car after which they started dating. The two were then spotted together multiple times by the paparazzi. They even became part of a music video. Soon, some drama followed. Around November 2022, she accused Adil of assaulting her, but later she said it wasn't true. Now of course, after their shaadi controversy, it seems like all is well... until, of course, next drama begins!
04/7Rakhi's 'Ritesh' fiasco
For many years, she kept telling the world that she was married to someone called Ritesh. Finally, she entered the Bigg Boss 15 house two years ago with somebody who she introduced as Ritesh. Later it was found that he was already married with kids. Soon after the show was over, Rakhi split with Ritesh saying he has kids, something she wasn't aware of earlier.
Another publicity stunt was a press conference in 2018, when she said that she would marry comedian Deepak Kalal. Of course, nobody believed her and eventually Deepak and she had a fall-out after which they started hitting out at each other on social media.
Many years ago, Rakhi Sawant was dating actor Abhishek Awasthi. The ex-couple was also part of dance reality show Nach Baliye 3. Their relationship ended on a sour note; in 2011, on Valentine's day, Rakhi slapped Abhishek in front of the media after she found out that he was cheating on her.
Somewhere in 2009, Rakhi Ka Swayamwar took place on national television. On the reality show, she met NRI Elesh Parujanwala. He was the chosen one. However, a few months later, the two broke off citing compatibility issues. That's when people started saying the show was entirely staged.
HUSBANDS
Adil Durrani
Within a few weeks of marriage, 'My marriage is over’
In another shocking claim, Rakhi Sawant has now revealed to ETimes TV that her husband Adil Khan Durrani, against whom she has filed an FIR, was previously married.
Rakhi told ETimes TV, “All my cases are filed in court. I had given a hundred chances for Adil to settle down. But now I've got breaking news that Adil is already married. I have received his marriage and divorce letter. Only God will tell why these things happen to me. People come to know because I come out in public and speak. It happens to a lot of women but they don't come forward. I am brave.”
Rakhi further shared that Adil used to beat her and blackmailed her to make him a hero. She said, “I still love him and will always love him. But he has betrayed me, deceived me. He used to beat me saying, "Mujhe hero banao". He'd tell me to tell everyone that he is a big businessman and that he has given me a house to stay etc. And if I don't do that, he said that he won't marry me and won't behave well with me. He also told me that he'll sleep with other women and make videos of it and send to me and that I'll die of a heart attack because of jealousy. On top of that he said, ‘Mere against gayi toh pachaas hazaar dekar truck se kuchalwa dunga.’ (If you go against me then I'll pay someone 50000 and get you run over by a truck).”
“My life has been destroyed. Main ab zinda laash ho gayi hoon. My mother passed away. My marriage is over. I'm living dead. I will continue to do work. The biggest shock that I've got is that Adil's wife called me and told me, ‘I was a Hindu girl. But he forced me to convert to Islam to marry me’,” Rakhi added.
Rakhi Sawant’s ex-husband Ritesh reacts to her marital discord with Adil Khan Durrani, says 'Ye ladkiyon ke liye bhi sabak hai jo love jihad...'
Rakhi’s husband Adil Khan was arrested by Oshiwara police and was produced in the court today (February 8). Rakhi had alleged a case of domestic violence against her husband.
YEAR-WISE DEVELOPMENTS
2023
Best friend Rajshree More files a police complaint against her.
In a new twist, Rakhi Sawant's best friend Rajshree More, who was often spotted with her at pap sightings, has filed police complaint against the actress, claiming that she has been defamed.
Barring the past few months, Rakhi has often been spotted with Rajshree at events and other outings. The latter has also been there in Rakhi's difficult times especially during her mother Jaya's demise.
However, things seem to have changed now as Rajshree has filed a police complaint against Rakhi for defamation.
Rakhi claimed that she made Rajshree win an award, and the latter had proudly said that whoever she is, it is because of her. Rakhi further added that Rajshree seems to have joined hands with her present husband Adil Khan Durrani and supporting him instead of her.
Accuses Adil Khan Durrani of selling her 'nude video' for ₹47-50 lakh
Rakhi Sawant also said that she doesn't consider Adil Khan Durrani her husband. She had announced her marriage to Adil earlier this year.
Actor Rakhi Sawant has alleged that her estranged husband Adil Khan Durrani sold her 'nude video' to a person for ₹47-50 lakh. During a press conference on Tuesday, Rakhi accused Adil of recording her videos during their honeymoon. Rakhi also opened up about the 'circumstances' in which she married Adil.
Rakhi alleges Adil sold her nude videos
Rakhi said, "Adil Khan Durrani mere husband usne mere nude video 50 lakhs, 47 lakhs mere honeymoon k tub mein baithi hoon, bathroom mein naha rahi hoon, unke saath bistar mein hoon, saare video shoot karke ek Arab ko beche hai, kisko becha hai. Mere nude video, biwi ka becha hai (My husband Adil Khan Durrani shot nude videos of me during my honeymoon…sitting in a tub, taking shower in the bathroom, in bed with him and sold all to an Arab, and who knows whom, for ₹47-50 lakhs. My nude video, sold his wife's videos)."
Rakhi on when and how she got married to Adil
Rakhi recalled how Adil's sister Shelly wanted to gift her a car and asked her to travel to Mysore, seemingly, to take it. Rakhi added that she asked Shelly to send the car to Mumbai but Adil insisted that she personally take it. She added that after she reached there, she was with Adil in a room. Rakhi said, "Inka ek banda aaya, main Adil room mein the, bahar se lock maarke chala gaya (I was with Adil in a room, one of his men came, locked it from outside and left)."
Rakhi says Adil tore her clothes
"Jo phir mere saath hua... Jab mere saath woh hua, teen ghante lage usko phir mere kapde phhadne mein, saari cheeze karne mein (What happened with me then...when it happened to me, he tore off my clothes for three hours, to do everything)." She added that she was determined to go to the police.
Rakhi wants divorce from Adil
However, the next day, Adil told her 'don't be sad, you're a nice girl, I want to marry you', as claimed by Rakhi. She added that after a few days, Adil followed her to Goa where they got married. Rakhi also said that she doesn't consider Adil her husband and will file for divorce from him.
