"I used to give my best and to look slim and fit. I used to have only one bowl of dal every day. However, things weren't looking so great. But one fine day, I got a call from Farah Khan Madam's office, and they called me for an audition at Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chillies' office, and things changed from there. As soon as I kept the phone, I lost consciousness. My mother gave me another bowl of dal, and that's when I got into my senses and started preparing for my audition."

Rakhi remembered that she had to hide her clothes from neighbors in her chawl to not look down upon her or judge her. She added,

"I was told that I would have to look glamorous as the character was such. But in the chawl that I was staying at, you couldn't step out in such clothes. So, I asked my mother what should I do? She gave me a set of curtains, which I wrapped around my glamorous clothes and went for the audition."

Rakhi thanked Farah for having faith in her. Rakhi's determination and zeal towards the role made Farah and the entire team choose her.

Rakhi Sawant made a 'Dhamakedar' entry in the previous season of Bigg Boss. Even though she was a wild card entrant, she made it to the top five finalists with Aly Goni, Nikki Tamboli, Rahul Vaidya, and Rubina Dilaik.
