Why the fuss over my panties? asks Rakhi Sawant

Bindass voluptuous babe Rakhi Sawant has been hitting the headlines recently. Not for her marriage and her break up later, not for her bold remarks, not even for her muhfat behaviour. Rather she has been in the news for flashing her panties. Did we read: flashing her panties!!! Yes, we did. And to top it all, the entire hullabaloo has not irritated her, rather, it has amused her. Apparently, some freelance photographers at a promotional event of her forthcoming film Loot, clicked some compromising shots of Rakhi and passed them off on websites as a wardrobe malfunction. The pictures showing Rakhi posing on a big purple chair wearing a bright red dress, and guess what, there’s even a glimpse of her panties. Thank God she remembered to wear her thongs, otherwise we would have had the Sharon Stone scene straight out of Basic Instinct. And can you imagine what would have happened then? Her publicist Dale Bhagwagar says that the photographers had a gala time clicking her from lower angles “on noticing that she was wearing a short dress. Rakhi is a bit angry but more amused that people are calling this a wardrobe malfunction.” The lady herself is totally cool about the entire incident in retrospect. In her usual dismissive style she says: “Why all this zabardasti ka hungama? Main toh waise hi itni hot hoon. Where was the need to do something as creepy as this?” Creepy for you it may be Rakhi, but for the masses it sure was an interesting peep into something that’s supposed to be very private. Voyeurism rules, right, paparazzi?
