Rakhi is dng dis show only for name n fame. Mai nahi sochta rakhi se jobi shadi karega, wo khush rahega, Rakhi ek aisa pati chahti he jo uske isharope nache. So baki patiyon ko abhi mauka he is swayamvar chod k chale jao.

Rakhi is Foolish women. Apne shadi ko mazak banadiya hai. Kuch bolne se pahle kuch bhi nahi sochti, jo mo pe ata hai Bakti hai. Jo bhi banda ise shadi karega wobhi bewakuf HAI.

Well i think rakhi is doing gud job but i thing sud had to think before get married and she did gug job that she kick out Manmohan he came at Swayamvar only for fame not to married rakhi so rakhi my personal advise is that u sud married with elesh.

Rakhi says that she does not want to marry anyone blindfolded like Gandhari. Where it has been said that Gandhari married blindfolded. Gandhari blindfolded herself to equate herself with her husband who was blind. This shows that Rakhi is not blindfolded physically, but is blindfolded intellectually. She is far away from the fundamentals of love and marriage that is sacrifice. So what she is up to? Rakhi has always tried to get mileage in publicity through whatever has happened with her. Even when Mika kissed her (on her lips) what she reacted was that she was startled. (She had the same expression when Luv had kissed her the first time). She did not have the guts to retaliate to Mika. but when one of the contestants kissed her on the forehead (that too on one of the jewelry on her forehead) she kicked him out of the show. That was due to pressure by other contestants. Now what the contestants are doing when Rakhi is showering on Manmohan on the day of his expulsion. Now they have turned timid. Now they will have to keep in mind that even if they marry her it is most likely that she may be intimate with someone else in life and would reason it as part of profession. By God’s grace Manmohan has won his way out of this nonsense. We saw Amitabh walking away from Rekha in a recent function showing his dedication to his family and we saw Rakhi walking away from Swayamvar showing dedication but to what? Flirting (besides, she wants to look like Aishwarya when a bride). God enlighten these people who rob other people of their worth like robbers rob people of their life earned wealth. Manmohan has taught a well deserved lesson to Rakhi, “you reap what you sow.” The intensions of both Manmohan and Rakhi were the same in performing in the show, but Rakhi is frustrated by Manmohan’s capacity which is beyond her grab.
