Rakhi Sawant Opens Up On Rs 3 Cr Legal Case With Ritesh Singh

When asked if she ever felt that Ritesh Singh, her fake partner on Bigg Boss, was a cheater or liar, Rakhi Sawant said, “Yeh sab meri maa ki wajah se hua. Maa ko cancer tha. Bigg Boss se jab main bahar nikli, toh maa ke baal tak gir chuke the cancer ke wajah se. Maa bistar pe padhi rehti thi, roz poochhti thi, ‘Rakhi, shaadi kab karegi? Rakhi, bachcha kab hoga?’ Ab main kaun hoon, mera kaun hai jo mere liye ladka dhoond ke laaye? Swayamvar kiya tha, lekin wo toh fake tha, ek reality show tha. Haan, contract sign karaya gaya tha! Usse hi toh maine ghar liya tha. Mere paas ghar nahi tha, main bhaade pe rehti thi. Mere koi serious relationship nahi rahe. Ritesh kehte hain, ‘Shaadi-shaadi’, arre Ritesh ko toh main bhaade ka pati bana ke Bigg Boss mein le gayi thi.”

Continuing about the legal case, she said, “Kyunki usne mujhe Rs 3 crore diye the corona ke time pe. Uss waqt sab log bankrupt ho gaye the, mera kaam-dhanda bhi nahi tha. Meri maa hospital mein thi, cancer se peedit. Bhai-behen ghar pe baithe the, kisi ke ghar mein na khaana tha, na paisa. Mere sar par loan tha, Modi ji ne bola tha ‘loan maaf karo, baad mein bhar dena,’ lekin yeh loan wale thodi sunte hain! Modi ji mere loan bharne thodi aaye the uss waqt.”

Rakhi Reveals How She Met Ritesh

Rakhi revealed she met Ritesh on an app. The Bigg Boss fame continued, “Main ek app pe thi, Bigo, wahan mujhe Ritesh ji mile. Unhone mujhe 2–3 crore ki sending ki, jisse mera loan nikla, maa ki dawai hui, ilaaj hua, aur poore 3 saal ka kharcha main sambhali. Phir ek din woh banda mujhe bolta hai, ‘Main vasool karne aaya hoon.’ Main boli, ‘Ab main kaise vasool karoon?’ Woh bola, ‘Mujhe Bigg Boss mein le chalo.’ Main boli, ‘Bigg Boss kya mere baap ka hai jo tujhe le chaloon? Kuch bhi kar.'”

She added, “Phir maine bola, ‘Chal, mera pati ban ke chal.’ Toh maine Bigg Boss walon ko bola, ‘Yeh mera pati hai.’ Unhone poocha, ‘Shaadi kab ki?’ Toh humne jhooti photos nikali, sab kuch fake kiya. Mujhe kya maloom tha, uski biwi aur bachcha hai! Usne kabhi nahi bataya tha. Jaise hi main usko Bigg Boss mein le gayi, uski biwi bahar aayi, ‘Bhai, yeh toh mera pati hai!’ Aur bas, poori media mein hungama ho gaya, ‘Bhaade ka pati leke gayi!’ Salman bhai ne usko show se nikal diya. Phir sab logon ne mera naam Ritesh ke saath jod diya.”

Rakhi Reveals She And Ritesh Had No Relation

Concluding, she said, “Abh uske upar divorce ka case chal raha hai — uski biwi, case, sab kuch! Mera aur Ritesh ka kuch bhi nahi tha, lekin bhai, woh Rs 2.5 crore main kahaan se doon? Toh Bigg Boss mein le jaake vasooli ho gayi — paisa do, kaam karwa lo, bas! Phir un sab cheezon se main bahar nikli. Maa ne bola, ‘Pata nahi beta, yeh banda kaun tha, kahaan mila.’

The actress said, “Usne mujhe ek film dikhayi, mujhe emotional kiya, aur shaadi ho gayi, lekin end tak wo kehta raha, ‘Meri toh shaadi hui hi nahi!’ Main boli, ‘Chhodo is baat ko, please.’ Main haath jodti hoon, kyunki ab sab kuch court se khatam ho gaya hai. Court ne bhi mana kiya hai iska naam lene ke liye. Toh bas, na woh court of contempt karega, na main court of contempt karungi. Aur jab maa ka naam aata hai, toh maa khud ek shabd mein poori duniya hai.”

About Rakhi-Ritesh Controversy

Rakhi Sawant and Ritesh Singh were married in 2019, during their time as contestants on Bigg Boss 15. They separated in early 2022, and their divorce followed, with Sawant claiming her marriage was invalid since Ritesh was already married to his first wife. After their separation, Ritesh publicly supported Rakhi during her legal issues with her second husband, Adil Khan Durrani, especially regarding domestic violence allegations, stating he was a well-wisher and stood by her on humanitarian grounds. In early 2025, Ritesh Singh made headlines by joking about Sawant’s failed marriage plans with Pakistani actor Dodi Khan.
