Calling Bollywood item girl Rakhi Sawant insecure, upcoming starlet Sambhavna Seth has accused her of
snatching away a song which was to be picturised on Seth in the forthcoming film 'Mudrank' based on stamp paper
scamster Abdul Karim Telgi.
Talking to mediapersons at a press meet here last evening, Seth said, ''Rakhi Sawant is a very insecure person
and a 'dramebaaz'. I am not saying this just to malign her. The problem is these days one has to speak for oneself.
She knew that I was doing this song and yet, she snatched it from me.
''Above all, the producer should have taken care of that I did not suffer. But I had to!'' Rakhi Sawant was
conspicuously absent at the press meet.
However, film's director Shakir Shaikh confirmed that Sambhavna had been signed first for the song 'Ruk zara
Mumbai ke bhai'.
''But when Rakhi was signed for another song, she liked this song and we shot it on her which upset Sambhavna.''
Production Executive of 'Mudrank' Rakesh Sabharwal added, ''Rakhi liked the song meant to be picturised on
Sambhavna and insisted to shoot for the song herself.''
When asked why they had agreed to it and
subjected Sambhavna to injustice, Sabharwal replied, ''When we have a bigger artiste, we have to
compromise.
''Even Rakesh Roshan had to depend on Rakhi,'' he said, referring to her song 'Dekhta hai tu kya' in Roshan's home
production 'Krazzy 4'.
Sabharwal said, ''Rakhi also knows that she has snatched Sambhavna's song. That is why she's not reacting. In
fact, she is not coming to any event organised for the film. I understand she is a busy star but she can't be busy
always.''
Sambhavna Seth also insisted that she was a better dancer than Rakhi, a view which was
endorsed by Sabharwal. ''Sambhavna has done better than Rakhi in the song 'Give me money, money, Touch me
honey, honey'.''
