Item girl Rakhi Sawant will now be seen hosting a chat show 'Gajab Desh Ki Ajab Kahaaniyaan' on Imagine TV.

Produced by UTV, Gajab Desh Ki Ajab Kahaaniyaan, is a showcase of strange stories that highlight the wacky lives and strange beliefs that exist in India.

"The show will bring together the funniest stories from across the country; stories that will leave you holding your tummy in laughter and your head in disbelief!" said a channel spokesperson.

"Ever heard of a man who has not taken bath for 37 years, or two families who combat each other and use ghosts as their weapons, or a woman who prefers to stay perched on a cell phone tower for days, to avoid getting married to a man her parents chose!" said the spokesperson.

As the host of the show, Rakhi will bring these stories to the viewers in her trademark, over-the-top style.

"I am elated to be back at doing what I do best – Entertain! My audience loves me and so do I.

This time around I will be host of the baap of all shows, where you will witness some of the most bizarre incidents that are sure leaved you shell-shocked and rolling on the floor in splits of laughter. All I can say is ‘It Happens only in India'," said Rakhi.

Also affirming the buzz about her wearing C-string for the show, she admits, "I have always been a step ahead when it comes to style.

It's true that I demanded the show producers to get me a C-string because it's important that panty lines don't show in short dresses. My dresses look more beautiful when I wear a C-string. I'm the first Indian girl to wear it on TVn," she told the reporters.

Speaking on the launch of the show, Mr. Santosh Nair, CEO, TV Content – UTV said, "Rakhi is definitely the ideal choice for the host, someone who will bring in an element of humour and entertainment, in her own unique style!"

The show premieres this Friday (July 29) at 10 pm on Imagine TV.
