This star went to audition wearing a bikini under burqa...
shahrukh khan and Sushmita Sen's film Main Hoon Na was a commercial success. The film was also praised by critics. Filmmaker farah khan had narrated an anecdote related to this film. In a conversation with casting director mukesh Chhabra, she told about Rakhi Sawant's entry and audition.
The story of Rakhi Sawant's audition
farah khan had told- 'Everyone had the best experience in Main Hoon Na. rakhi sawant came just two days after the shooting started. Earlier there was another girl. We had gone with a plan. But then the girl's mother said to keep her in a big hotel, where shahrukh khan is staying. That girl started throwing tantrums even before the shooting started.'
'Then I called bombay and asked who was auditioned last. It was Rakhi Sawant. Rakhi came for the audition wearing a burqa. My assistant showed me the video in which he is telling Rakhi that ma'am this is the role of a hot girl. So Rakhi said that you just turn on the camera. Then when she removed the burqa, the whole camera started shaking. Because she was wearing a bikini inside.'
On this mukesh said that well this was the whole plan. Farah had told that they did not cast Rakhi because she had orange hair. But when she came to Darjeeling, everyone was worried about how to cover her. The makers gave her a sweater but Rakhi wanted to show off. Farah said that working with Rakhi was fun. She had one request, she wanted to stand with or behind Shahrukh in the song.
