Rakhi Sawant wants no string attached to her panties

When it comes to wardrobe and dressing up, celebrities take extra steps to make sure they are well turned out. But item girl and television actor, Rakhi Sawant has gone a step ahead.

The producers of a show that Sawant has been roped in for were in a tizzy with her when she made a bizarre demand.

Sawant has been preparing to host Gajab Desh Ki Ajab Kahaniyan and has lost a lot of weight to look slim and svelte.

While she has told the production house about her demands when it comes to clothes and accessories, the crew became apparently miffed with the starlet as her bills shot up beyond the estimated budget.

A source from the production house says, “Rakhi, who’s hosting the show, put forth her demands in terms of clothes and accessories. The cost of her wardrobe is around Rs70 lakh, way beyond what we had expected it to be… We are still negotiating. As if all this wasn’t enough, Rakhi recently read a lot about C-string and wants them to be included in her clothes. While her clothes aren’t a problem, getting a C-string is difficult. It’s not available in the Indian markets yet, but she has issued us an ultimatum and will refuse to shoot unless she gets them.”

C-string is a modified version of G-string lingerie and is already a rage abroad. And Sawant apparently wants to be the first Indian actor to wear the strangless thongs. She has told the production house to get her lingerie piece in three colours — red, pink and purple, and won’t start shooting for the show until she gets them. Since then the entire crew apparently has been grappling to fulfill her demands.
