Everyone seems to be talking about Rakhi Sawant these days. Even her latest co-star Kainaaz Pervees, who shares the screen with the sultry siren in Deepak Tijori's Khamosh is completely overawed by this Marathi mulgi.

Actually poor Pervees is miffed about the publicity being given to Sawant and her hot tactics.

"I don't know why the media is star struck by Rakhi. There needs to be place for new comers like me too, she says and adds, "I want to ask her how she became a star and what she has done to get there. I'm extremely curious about the ladder she has climbed to reach where she is today. Even I can flaunt if I want to, but Rakhi seems to have a way of getting her work done."

According to her: "Others have also worked hard in the film and all of us deserve equal credit. I think Rakhi likes to tease the media and is probably good at it. I would like my work to talk rather than going about showing my assets."

"I think there is undue publicity being given to her in the film. It's not like she's the only one who has worked her a** off! "

Rakhi, on the other hand, cites the struggle as her success mantra and says, "I am a talented, hardworking girl and the reason people call me a star is because they have seen my potential."

"I am often criticised for speaking from my heart, but I can't take crap from someone whom I don't know."

"Kainaaz may have her issues but I can't help it if she is insecure about working with me. In fact, she has done this hot suhaag raat scene and even has six smooching scenes in the film; I have just shown my posterior. Maybe she's jealous of that. In fact, the scene where I show my rear is going to be a rage."
