Rakhi Sawant: I’m the original item girl!

Rakhi Sawant, who is famously known for her bold statements, has once again insisted that she is the original item girl of Bollywood industry and therefore she will do a better ‘Ooh La La’ than Vidya Balan in the remake of her blockbuster film ‘The Dirty Picture’, which was released last year on December 10.

Rakhi told TOI, “The film gets spoken about because of that song, the girl in the song, her moves – whether they are decent or indecent, her clothes and her lean look. So, it’s all because of item girls – aaj-kal ek item girl akeli poori film ka credit le jati hai.”

The Bengali remake of ‘The Dirty Picture’ will feature Rakhi Sawant in the same role of Silk Smitha, which was performed by Vidya Balan last year and she is pretty confident that she will overshadow Balan with her performance because she thinks she can perform an item girl’s role better than anyone else.

Tough Rakhi insisted she has nothing against Balan, she said when it comes to work she is better than her.

She said, “Look at “The Dirty Picture” – the whole film is made on the life of an item girl. So, you see how important item girls are today. Plus I’m the original item girl, so main Vidya se better “Ooh Laa Laa” kar sakti hoon. Look, I really respect Vidya, and once upon a time, we both were good friends, we knew each other well during the days she was working on the small screen. Whenever she meets me, she says, ‘Rakhi, I like you so much.’ So, personally, I have nothing against her.”

The original film, which was directed by Milan Luthria, did an excellent business at the box office. The film also brought Balan her first National Award.

Nevertheless, let’s see if Rakhi Sawant can really overshadow Balan’s performance in the remake.
