Rakhi Sawant wants to marry Baba Ramdev

"He's my new dream man," she confesses

Rakhi Sawant used to be controversy's favourite child but things had been quiet with the item girl-turned-reality TV star for a while. Not anymore! Rakhi has come up with a statement that's got everyone talking - she says that she wants to marry yoga expert Baba Ramdev.

Rakhi said that she thinks of Baba Ramdev as 'Swami' Ramdev, and confessed that she likes him a lot. She went on to add that while Rahul Gandhi was her dream man earlier she has now changed her choice to Baba Ramdev. 

“Jab bhi main unhe dekhti hun mujhe kuchh ho jaata hai. Unki aankhein mujhe sabse zyaada attract karti hai. (Whenever I see him something happens to me. His eyes attract me the most) I want to marry him” she said in Delhi while promoting her TV show 'Gajab Desh Ki Ajab Kahaaniyaan' on Imagine TV. 

Rakhi added that she admired Baba Ramdev's efforts to sort out the black money issue. She also said that she planned to invite him to her show and then propose to him. 

Of course knowing Rakhi's penchant for publicity, the timing of this 'love confession' coincides with the launch of her new show.  

Rakhi had earlier been part of Imagine TV's reality show 'Rakhi Ka Swayamvar', where she selected Canadian businessman Elesh Parujanwala as her groom. She later refused to marry him, alleging that he had misrepresented himself on the show.
