Rakhi Sawant's wedding dress

Bollywood’s Ace designer Neeta Lulla and Jewellery designer Farah Ali Khan have been roped in to design item girl-turned actress Rakhi Sawant's wedding trousseau and Jewellery. Rakhi is going to wear a Rs 30 lakh neckalce.

Whilst Rakhi is busy selecting the right groom for herself, she is also, equally eager about the preparations going on for her wedding. ''For her wedding day, Rakhi would be wearing a lehenga-choli in five different colours with ornate kundan work to give her an ethnic Rajasthani look, said Neeta Lulla, who has designed Aishwarya's clothes in movies like Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Devdas and more recently Jodhaa Akbar.

When Rakhi met Neeta Lulla, she told her that she wants to look just like Aishwarya Rai.

To complement her outfit, Rakhi will be donning traditional Indian jadau jewellery designed by Farah Ali Khan, the daughter of yesteryears actor Sanjay Khan and well-known interior designer Zarine Khan.

The two designers are not only putting their creative instincts together for Rakhi's wedding day but also for the sangeet and mehendi (pre-wedding) ceremonies.

For the sangeet, Rakhi decided to opt for an Indo-Western look in blue. Lulla says it is a very contemporary outfit.

Neetu Chandra Controversial Girl-On-Girl Shoot For ‘The Man’ Magazine

Actress Neetu Chandra thought she was baring skin artfully, but unexpectedly stirred up major controversy with her racy photo shoot. When she agreed to be scantily clad for a men’s magazine, she didn’t realize she would be making what some considered an offensive political statement. Neetu Chandra did the steamy photo shoot for The Man magazine with model Krishikha Gupta at a three star hotel.

While the actress was shooting for The Man magazine at a 3-star hotel with model Krishikka Gupta, a group of regular male customers started shouting ‘Jai Maharashtra’ slogans and threatened action from Raj Thackeray’s Maharashrtra Navnirman Sena (MNS). They even tried to confiscate the camera, resulting in the shoot having to be abruptly called off.

After talking about the incident, the actress has suddenly developed cold feet. In an attempt to backtrack and do a volte-face, Neetu has now stated on her Facebook account, “nothing like that ever happened”.
