Rakhi Sawant takes a fresh jibe at Tamannaah Bhatia doing item numbers; says, 'Yeh beer bar type ke song humein suit karte hain'

Rakhi Sawant reacts to Tamannah Bhatia doing item songs

Rakhi Sawant, the self-proclaimed “OG item girl” of Bollywood, has never shied away from bold statements. Her latest one is directed at actress Tamannaah Bhatia.

In a recent chat with Hindi Rush, Rakhi took a sharp dig at Tamannaah for doing item numbers, claiming that mainstream actresses turn to such performances only after their acting careers slow down.

"Tamanaah se meri koi problem nahi hai. Bus yeh hai ki Baahubali Jaisi achchi films kari, suddenly hamare jaise item song kyu karne lagi. You played the main heroine in multi-crore films, suddenly what's teh point in doing 5-10 lakh worth songs like Aaj ki Raat. Yeh beer bar type ke song humein suit karte hain. Now she will play heroine also, do item song also, play the sister also, what would we do then?" Rakhi remarked.

Addressing fans who said Tamannaah’s recent dance numbers lack the energy Rakhi once brought to the screen, the actress had said to Filmygyan, “Yeh log hum log ko dekh-dekh kar item song karna seekh gaye. Yeh pehle heroine banna chahte the, jab inka heroine mein career nahi chala, toh inhone humare pet par laat maar ke item song karne lag gaye. Sharam karo! OG toh hum hi hain. Aur hum ab heroine banenge.”

The outspoken performer, who has been living in Dubai for some time, also revealed that she is returning to India permanently and gearing up for a strong comeback. Known for iconic numbers like Pardesia and Dekhta Hai Tu Kya, Rakhi said she plans to reclaim her space in Bollywood, this time not just as a dancer, but as a leading lady.

Meanwhile, Rakhi’s personal life has also been making headlines. Her tumultuous marriage with Adil Khan Durrani and their subsequent divorce became one of the most widely discussed celebrity sagas. After months of legal battles and accusations, the two have now settled their dispute amicably. The Bombay High Court recently quashed all pending cases after Rakhi expressed “no objection” to ending the proceedings.

Adil Khan celebrated the legal closure by sharing a note on social media, “After years of struggle, patience, and faith… this day has finally come… Thank you to everyone who supported me through every challenge.”
