Sara-Ali's Shaadi is a nosense nautanki staged for TRP

Rahul Bhatt has come out of a reality show with some serious allegations, including “match-fixing”

According to the forthright Bhatt scion the purported marriage between televison actress Sara Khan and her beau Ali on Bigg Boss is nothing but “nosense, complete fake and utterly staged.”

How can two people get married on a reality show, wonders Rahul. “It's all nautanki staged for TRPs. If two people want to make a tamasha of their relationship that's their problem. I refused to get pally with the girls just to spice up the show.”

In a shocking revelation Rahul accuses the channel of changing his words to suit their TRP plans.

We heard Rahul Bhatt say in the confession room of Bigg Boss that television actress Shweta Tiwari was hitting on

him.

Rahul completely denies this embarrassing allegation against the single mother. “What I had said was, it was another contestant Sakshi Pradhan who was line-maroing on me. Not Shweta Tiwari.”

So how could Rahul be heard mentioning Shweta Tiwari name??

Says Rahul, “Ask the channel that. They played a little bit of mischief. It was Sakshi Pradhan who was coming on strongly. Not Shweta Tiwari.You can see on the show we're absolutely comfortable with one another. They changed mywords. They're ready to go to any lengths to spice up the show. Crazy!”

In another explosive confession Rahul Bhatt says that the female contestants inside the Bigg Boss were regularly called inside the confession room for long periods to be briefed on how to conduct themselves vis-à-vis the male contestants.

Reveals Rahul, “The ladies were called ostensibly for counseling because they got emotionally disturbed. But they were actually in the confession room for 20-25 minutes at a stretch getting briefed on which male contestant to get friendly with, etc etc.”

Says Rahul, “I was detached from all the drama. It was all very unreal for me. I was just being myself. I was boring because I was neither romancing nor fighting. Rather I was fighting off romancing.”

Rahul got along with Dolly Bhindra in the house. “I found her to be quite forthright. She didn't do nautanki, though I didn't approve of her picking fights with Shweta Tiwari. Aanchal Kumar was the only girl I hit it off with.

She's decent and cultured. I also got along with Khali, great guy and honest. I can't forget that moment when Khali walked in through the Bigg Boss door. He is my childhood idol. I also liked the Bhojpuri superstar Manoj Tiwari.”

How far are the channels ready to go on reality shows to ensure sturdy TRPs? This questions acquires more than passing academic interest in the light of the murky titillation offered on Bigg Boss.

Says Rahul, “I can't say I didn't enjoy the Bigg Boss experience. It was a learning experience. People had only heard about Rahul Bhatt. Now they've seen and heard me.

I've developed great patience after the first controversy that happened to me (the David Headley case when Rahul was questioned for befriending the alleged 26/11 mastermind). It also made me wary of making friends. I was always a recluse.

Now even more so. I've a very close circle of friends now.I've become paranoid about meeting new people (after the Headley experience).”

The original plan of Rahul playing a suicide bomber in a film of that title has also been aborted. “Unfortunately Suicide Bomber cannot be made now. It required international collaboration. Now the idea is obsolete.”

The Bhatts have decided that Suicide Bomber as Rahul's debut would also not quite be the politically correct move for the debutant after the unsavoury controversy regarding Rahul's unwitting and unsuspecting friendship with the unsuspecting terrorist rocked the national media some months ago.

Says Rahul, “You are right when you say playing a terrorist would be incorrect for me after the Headley controversy.”

Candidly Rahul admits that playing a terrorist in Suicide Bomber or doing a John Abraham act a la Jism are not quite the correct thing for him. “I'm very clear about the kind of work I want to do. I'm an action guy. So Dad is trying to conceive something with a patriotic touch and lots of action for me. Good scripts are not easy to come by.”

Rahul is looking at making his debut with the kind of film that Salman Khan does. “Oh yes! I want to be launched in a film that is a hybridized version of what Salman and Sunny Deol do. I think that's my forte.”

Not quite the chip off the block, Mahesh Bhatt's son Rahul Bhatt is as unconventional in his attitude to stardom as his sister Pooja Bhatt.

Says Rahul, “I've always been highly unconventional. I got it from my Dad. I don't think I'm going to follow any rules. I'm going to do things my way. My stint in Bigg Boss has helped me overcome my self-consciousness. Actually my real learning curve happened in the past few years. I'm ready to be an actor now.”
