Rakhi Sawant has made up her mind. The item girl is all set to tie the knot with the NRI Gujarati boy Elesh Parujanwala and end her swayamvar.
A sources reveals that Rakhi's decision to commit to the shaadi was last minute, "She asked the channel heads options to have an exit strategy. However, after long meetings with the producers and channel officials, she decided to go ahead to the wedding, and honour her contract obligations."
Describing the elaborate wedding plans, an insider says, "Right now, they are preparing for the sangeet and mehendi shoot. The wedding will take place on August 2 at a suburban hotel and will be broadcast live on television.
Rakhi will wear a Neeta Lulla ensemble while Elesh still has to decide what he will wear. Rakhi's mom and her family will be present during the shaadi as well. There are also plans to invite a couple of some Bollywood celebrities to the occasion."
After the wedding, Rakhi plans to travel to Toronto to meet Elesh's family. "She has already got her Canadian visa and will be flying out with the groom after the shaadi. Elesh has already expressed an interest in purchasing property in Mumbai and settling here post marriage." Happy ending? We'll see.
Rumour has it
Another source maintains, "There will be no shaadi. In the twist, the dulha raja chosen by Rakhi will be given a choice of getting married to Rakhi, or accepting a cash booty and walking away. It is believed that Elesh will opt for the cash. It has all been decided. And Rakhi will walk away with the sympathy."
