Rakhi Sawant is happy and satisfied with the way her journey on Bigg Boss 14 culminated. The Pardesiya girl was probably the only contestant this season to have taken an effort to entertain the audience. While Rubina Dilaik was announced as the winner, Rakhi Sawant walked out of the game show with Rs 14 lakh prize money.
The OG Bigg Boss champion spoke to indianexpress.com about her decision to quit in the finale, her experience and how host Salman Khan’s support helped her survive the game.
After a journey of four and a half months, it was five contestants, namely, Rubina Dilaik, Rahul Vaidya, Aly Goni, Nikki Tamboli and Rakhi Sawant who made it to the finale of Bigg Boss 14. The grand finale of the season which was held on Sunday (February 21) kept everyone on their feet for the big announcement. While it was Rubina Dilaik who took away all the limelight after she was declared the winner, there were a few more aspects in the episode that caught the audience’s attention.
Rakhi entered the house as a challenger, a few days after the mid-season finale was held in December. She is often credited with having raised the entertainment quotient of the show. Apart from cracking random jokes, Rakhi had brought multiple entertainment ‘tracks’ for the show. First, she decided to take upon the persona of a spirit– Julie. As Julie, she teased the contestants, romanced Bigg Boss and even fought with the housemates. Eijaz Khan and Rahul Mahajan particularly became targets of Julie.
Rakhi also flirted with Abhinav Shukla. Both ABhinav and his wife and co-contestant Rubina were happy to play along at first. However, things went out of hand when Rakhi pulled Abhinav’s drawstrings and even called him a pervert. Both Rubina and Abhinav fought with Rakhi post the episode.
