It’s Rakhi Sawant Part 4,Act 1

Pitched as one of the most captivating shows on Indian television,Gajab Desh promises to leave viewers laughing and shaking their heads in disbelief as it showcases strange stories,highlighting wacky beliefs of people from across the country. For instance,one of the stories is about a man who has apparently not taken a bath for 37 years.

Sawant is of course elated to be back at doing what she does best — entertain. Dressed in a slinky pink sari and a slinkier silver blouse,she kept the media waiting for a good 45 minutes before she made her grand entry on stage at The Park Hotel this Wednesday in the Capital to promote this venture. The reason for her late arrival: well,according to her,her sari was stolen right before the press conference was supposed to start,and this was the most ‘ajab-gazab’ incident of her life. It surely left her miffed. “This is a conspiracy. I will lodge an FIR — someone has planned this . Aaj nahi toh kal mujhe pata lag jaayega who stole my sari,” she blared at the audience.

She dodged a question about the alleged suicide associated with her previous show Rakhi ka Insaaf. “I am only going to talk about this show,” she maintained. For the record,it was alleged that an infamous comment about the participant’s sexual capability had devastated him so much that he killed himself.

Nevertheless,the media loves her — they love her jokes and egg her on to say one scandalous thing after the other,and she willingly obliges.

So what’s different in this show? “This is a total comedy show,” she said with a wink,adding,“Nothing controversial.” In fact,even the channel claims that the new show is not a revamped version of Rakhi ka Insaaf as it is rumoured to be.

With her own swayamvar ending in a split,Rakhi left the audience in splits as she spoke about her ideal life partner. There was a time when she was crazy about Rahul Gandhi. Now Baba Ramdev is at the centre of her new infatuation. “When I see Baba Ramdev in yoga posture,I feel attracted. Oh sorry,I should call him Swami,” she added rather cheekily.

The show will be aired every Friday and Saturday at 10pm starting July 29
