Farah Khan puts Rakhi Sawant and Deepika Padukone in same league; says, 'I've given 2 megastars to the industry'

Bollywood filmmaker-choreographer and a reality show judge, Farah Khan is currently seen on the show, 'Comedy Show'. Bigg Boss' Rakhi Sawant, actor-politician Ravi Kishan and musician Anu Malik had graced the stage of the show as guests.

On the show, Rakhi Sawant narrated her life's struggle and how she would survive on a bowl of 'daal' to stay slim. The actress went on to share how a call from choreographer-turned-director Farah Khan changed her life.

Rakhi Sawant said that she owes her stardom to Farah Khan because she is her discovery. Upon hearing this, Farah lauded her and said, "I have given two megastars to the industry, one is Deepika Padukone, and the other is Rakhi Sawant. Both of them are great actors, but I have to say that Rakhi was the most punctual, hard-working, well-behaved, and respectful girl on the sets of Main Hoon Na and I love her for that."

Rakhi Sawant had said, "I have truly faced a lot of struggle in my life. In fact, at the start of my career, I used to audition for anything and everything that I heard about. There was a time when even though I was not called for a particular audition, I would enter their office and request them to take my audition. My mother had told me that there would be a lot of struggle, but one day I could be like Helen, Madhuri Dixit or Sridevi."

She had further added, "I used to give my best and to look slim and fit, I used to have only one bowl of dal every day. However, things weren’t looking so great. But one fine day, I got a call from Farah Khan Madam’s office, and they called me for an audition at Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies’ office and things changed from there. As soon as I kept the phone, I lost consciousness. My mother gave me another bowl of dal and that’s when I got into my senses and started preparing for my audition."
