Meet the men who want to marry Rakhi Sawant
Rakhi Sawant has men pouring in from all over India, wanting to marry her live on television, in her upcoming show, Rakhi Ka Swayamvara.
And Rakhi has quite a varied choice -- from a policeman in Jammu and Kashmir to a theatre actor in Rishikesh.
The beautiful desert city of Udaipur in Rajasthan will host Rakhi's Swayamvara. Besides hosting the show, Ram Kapoor will multi-task as Rakhi's friend, philosopher and guide. Her celebrity friends will also come on the show and help her make decisions.
The excitement starts June 29, and you can watch Rakhi Ka Swayamvara from Monday to Friday at 9pm on NDTV Imagine.
We take a look at the 16 men vying for Rakhi's love:

Why he wants to marry Rakhi Sawant: I know Rakhi's old flame Abhishek Awasthi since the last 15 years. But I am not in talking terms with him because of his attitude problem.

The word 'no' does not exist in my dictionary and I give my best shot at everything I do.
