What's common between Veena and Rakhi?

  • There is a slight difference between Veena and Rakhi though. While Rakhi is known to have a foot-in-mouth disease, she isnt really crossing her limits in a vulgar manner.

    Veena, however, has no bounds, it seems. She likes to grab attention by grabbing anything she finds, be it a mirror, a skimpy blouse or a potential lover in the form of Ashmit Patel!

  • During her initial days in Bigg Boss, Veena raved about her fiance, Faisal Akbar Khan. "I am engaged to Faisal Akbar Khan...a very good-looking man." It seems she has now taken a U-turn, otherwise how would she explain her affection towards Ashmit Patel?

    Rahi Sawant also found her soulmate in Elesh Parujanwala in the reality show, Rakhi ka Swayamwar. Guess that didn't work out for her when they both had to bring up a little baby in the next reality show they did together.

  • Both women are self-obsessed to a large extent. While Veena Malik keeps calling herself 'beautiful' while checking herself out in every mirror of the Bigg Boss house, Rakhi Sawant claims there is no one who can beat her when it comes to dancing. She considers herself a sex symbol and is proud of it.

  • Veena Malik has been stealing quite a few sensual moments with actor Ashmit Patel in the Bigg Boss house. Right from letting him sleep in her warm embrace to now kissing and massaging each other in public, they both cant seem to keep their hands off each other.

    Rakhi too, was seen kissing her then-beau Elesh Parujanwala in the reality show, Pati, Patni aur Woh.

  • While Veena Malik was seen romancing Pakistani cricketer Mohammad Asif for a good number of years, our dear ol' Rakhi too was seen going ga ga over her best friend cum dancing mate Abhishek Awasthi. Realising his true love, she came out of the Bigg Boss house in season 1 singing 'mil gaya, humko saathi mal gaya'

    As we all know, none of the love stories lasted.

  • Both the girls have had their share of controversies. In April 2010, it was widely speculated in the media, that Malik provided escort services to cricketer Mohammad Asif in 2008, for which she demanded a large sum of around 13 Million PKR ($153,000) and wanted to escalate the claim to court. Later, she served a legal notice on Asif, after two cheques he gave her to settle the outstanding amount were bounced.

    Rakhi also slapped charges on singer Mika when he apparently kissed her without approval on his birthday. Some other controversies include slapping her beau Abhishek on television and claiming her family was 'dead' to her because they didn't accept her talent.

  • Veena Malik is apparently the most popular contestant in the Bigg Boss house. Just like Rakhi was in the first season. While Veena is making news by falling for every guy inside the house and now being over-sensuous with Patel boy, Rakhi is remembered for her desperate attempt to make TV actor Amit Sadh fall for her.

  • Veena Malik is a Pakistani actress, model and comedian. She has established herself as one of the leading women in the Pakistani television and film industry with her abilities to mimic others and improvise.

    Rakhi Sawant hit the jackpot when she won a competition for the best item girl. Soon she joined the first season of Bigg Boss and became a household name for her motormouth ways and antics.
