Rakhi Sawant Opens Up About Riteish And Her Marriage Status, Says 'I Was Desperate To Get Married'

Rakhi Sawant has always been a controversial figure because of the statements that she would give out in the media. However, it was her wedding that caused uproar. It was mainly because no one has ever seen her husband. It had long been questioned if her husband, but she has assured everyone that her that the fact she is married is true. Now, in a recent interview, she has claimed that she married him because another person had been blackmailing her to get married and also opened up about where their marriage stands now.

Talking to ETimes, the actress revealed, “I was desperate to get married. My marriage with Ritesh was the outcome of another chapter in my life. A very violent guy from Gujarat was forcing me to marry him. I had gone out on a date with him to Goa where my friends had also accompanied me. I saw a video there which had him beating up someone in his farmhouse. Later, he threatened to kidnap me if I didn't marry him. One day I was fervently praying that God should get this aggressive man out of my life. At that point, my phone rang. It was Ritesh. I told Ritesh that he should find a good guy for me. Ritesh promised to help and we began talking more and more with the passing of each day. Suddenly he popped the marriage question and sent me his bank statement. Seeing that statement, I felt I must marry him as that would mark the end of my struggle.”

She also revealed that she was actually left at the altar. She said, “He didn't turn up for our marriage. He apologised. This happened not just once. I asked him in no uncertain terms that why was he dilly-dallying our marriage. Finally, he came down to Mumbai and we tied the knot. This marriage helped me to ward off the Gujarat don.”

So where does her marriage stand now? She revealed, “Ritesh has told me that he wants to be with me. However, he isn't able to come down in today's times. I am waiting. I am a firm believer in Jesus Christ and I haven't exchanged fake marriage vows with him. I can't be sharing him with any other woman. The fact that he was married before tying the knot with me and is a father as well has jostled me. I have left the decision to him. The ball is in his court.”

We hope that Rakhi’s trust in the institution of marriage is not broken and that Ritesh reveals himself to the world soon.
