Rakhi Sawant Talks About Being An “Item Girl”, Says She Didn’t Have The Talent To Be A Leading Lady
I’ve always been taught, both by my parents and the many Bollywood movies that I have grown up watching, that no job is big or small, as long as you’re doing it with respect and commitment. Whether it is the job of a handyman, a CEO or even a home-maker, as long as you’re working hard and honestly to pay your bills and make those ends meet, there is absolutely no reason why you or anyone else should look down upon you. Actress Rakhi Sawant swears by the same thing, as she revealed in a recent interview.
Gaining quite an audience for herself early on in her career and making a name for herself with roles in movies like Main Hoon Na and her entertaining personality on the reality show Bigg Boss, Rakhi Sawant soon became a household name. However, despite her OTT antics and roles in movies, she is mostly remembered as an “item girl” in the industry.
Opening up about her career and how she carries no regrets what so ever, Rakhi Sawant said in a conversation Siddharth Kannan that, “Har koi ladki heroine toh nahi ban sakti na Bollywood mein? Koi item girl, koi sister ka character, koi negative role, koi special role, koi maa ka role, koi bhabhi ka role (Not everyone can be a leading lady in Bollywood. Some become item girls, some play mothers, sisters and negative roles).”

She went on to offer her gratitude to the industry as she said, “Jab mujh mein woh heroine ka nahi tha talent aur main ek item girl ban gayi, jisse mera parivaar chala, toh mujhe iss cheez se koi regret nahi. Mujhe proud hai ki Bollywood ne mujhe ek jagah di (I didn’t have the talent to be a leading lady and I became an item girl, which allowed me to provide for my family, and I have no regrets about that. I am proud that Bollywood gave me a place).”
And her perspective was rather an uplifting one, reminding all of us that once in a while, we must thank those who helped us along the way and be grateful for what we have. After all, no job is big or small.
