Bollywood actress and south star Shradha Sharma has hit out hammer and tongs at Rakhi Sawant for her obscene, vulgar
and humiliating acts on Rakhi Ka Insaaf on Imagine TV.
Shradha Sharma who is just back from Bangalore after
shooting for her fourth Tamil film Maiyum Kunte didn't mince words when blasting Rakhi Sawant. "As a person, Rakhi is a
nice girl. I really like her. But on the show, she was vulgar, crude, uncouth, obscene, rude, bad mannered, indecent and very
coarse."
"Maybe because Rakhi was competing with other hosts like Salman Khan in Bigg Boss on Colors, Akshay Kumar in
Masterchef, Amitabh Bachchan in KBC on Sony, she was under great pressure to make her show live up to the
expectations of the viewers.
Her show's TRPs were also being compared to the other shows. But that is where
she went wrong. She should not have tried to match the TRPs of Amitabh Bachchan and Salman Khan's shows. Both KBC
and Bigg Boss have been into several seasons, while Rakhi's show was in its first season. Rakhi could have built it into a
great intellectual property. But she lost the opportunity.
I don't think Rakhi ka Insaaf will see the light of day in a
second season, " says Shradha, adding that in all probability the show will be scrapped and canned for posterity. I wonder
how Imagine and UTV could go so wrong and goof up, spending so much of advertisers' money, " pontificates Shradha.
"There is a difference in being the natural Rakhi Sawant and being vulgar, crude, uncouth and downright humiliating. Rakhi
overdid herself. She was very, very insulting. A host is supposed to entertain at the same time make the participants
comfortable. She was intimidating. And neither did the channel nor the production house realise this, " analyses Shradha.
