I moved ahead in life, I stumbled many times but no one saw it..

. When I saw no one is looking at me, I learned that people want spice and then I became Rakhi Sawant ," the 33-year-old said.

Rakhi, who is popular for her controversial banter and spicy item numbers, has a word of advice for those who want to make it big in any field. "One should not leave the main goal in life.

Once you get success, you should not go crazy with happiness. You must think that there is one step ahead of success also and that is how you should keep working," Rakhi said.

Rakhi was lately in the news for slamming southern star Dhanush for cancelling a performance at the last minute where the two were supposed to shake a leg on " Kolaveri di ". But she has forgiven him now (less)

The motor mouth starlet played truant at an eventwhere she was to perform and be the stellar attraction. She had confirmed her presence at the music launch of an upcoming film in which she has done an item number.

The makers had made it clear to her that she would be required at functions related to the film to which she had agreed. The cast and crew along with the guests were waiting for Rakhi to arrive at the venue at a suburban mall for the launch.

When two hours had elapsed after the time she was slated to arrive, frantic calls were made to her but there was no response. Much later her manager called to say, ?Madam is out of town?.

It was exasperating for the makers of the film. As it was the music launch, they were keen to have Rakhi as the chief guest.

Even after giving her assent days in advance and reconfirming a day prior she left them in the lurch. It took a lot to pacify the agitated guests and media folk present for the event.

"In fact, my film will not have the Rakhi event at all. Well, at least I don't want to include it but if my script writer decides that it is crucial to the script, I might include it then," he says.

According to Shashank, the focus of the film would be combination of the fact that, "Mika was badmash and a musician. This is a rare combination for an Indian musician, its more like a trait of a musician from the hip hop genre," adds Shashank (less)

The filmmakers allege that Rakhi, who has performed an item number " Lattu" in the film, backed out of making a promotional appearance at a Mumbai mall earlier this week. According to them, all their attempts to reach her failed with her manager later texting the director that Rakhi was out of town.

Balani, who began his career as an associate director in Suhaib Illiyasi's "India's Most Wanted" series, before directing telefilms for Doordarshan, says, "Rakhi was supposed to be at the venue for promotion of the movie and we had intimated her about it well in advance. She had also agreed to put up an appearance.

But now she's demanding five lakh rupees to do promotion events for the film." On being contacted, Rakhi vehemently denied the charges, and instead alleged, "I didn't know about any promotional event being scheduled.

Nobody called me or my manager to inform about it. I had shot for a song for their movie about one and a half years back, where they had invited media on the sets for all three days of the shoot of the song.

So, I think I have done my bit of promotion and also, I don't have any contractual obligation to promote the movie now. It's the job of lead cast of the movie, anyway.

The filmmakers are trying to cash in on my name to promote their movie by making such baseless charges." Anil, however, chose to counter Rakhi's claims.

"I don't know why Rakhi is saying all of this now. The song was shot in August last year and not as long ago as Rakhi is alleging.

I'll try talking to her again to sort out the issue as soon as possible, as my movie is up for release later in the month." (less)

Rakhi is not travelling alone and is accompanied by people, who are clued into the whole issue. Before starting her three-day trip to Rajasthan, Rakhi told us, "I will not only go to the village near Jodhpur where she lived, I will visit the hospital where Bhanwari worked.

I also want to meet Bhanwari's husband - Amarchand Nat, and visit his village too, and I will also visit the place jahan unke zewar mile," adding, "Main paisey ke liye film nahi karti aur isiliye mein poori research karoongi because I still haven't agreed to do the film." Rakhi, who visited the Parliament in March to get a feel of the budget session, believes that her visit to the parliament will now help her in the case.

She explains, "Agar Rakhi Sawant parliament jaa sakti hain, toh woh kahin bhi jaa sakti hai and I believe that the whole Bhanwari Devi issue is very interesting and powerful and it is imperative to know the knitty-gritty of the entire issue." More than anything else, this role will be Rakhi's ode to the woman of Rajasthan.

"From what I know, Bhanwari Devi was a respectable woman who worked very hard to prove herself and usne minister ki sachai bhi samane layi thi. Normally what happens is that log khila ke aate hain aur fir baad mein khate hain and this is wrong.

Therefore, I will go the extra mile to learn everything about Bhanwari till I am satisfied." Yes, she has heard the script of the movie and Rakhi wants to become a perfectionist, well, just like Aamir Khan.

"Aamir bhi kitni research karte hain har ek movie ke phele aur mein bhi apne role ke liye research kar rahi hoon," she says, adding, "Koi bhi role karne se phele mein uski sachai janana chahti hoon." You know, she says, we can't play with the facts and hum extra masala nahi daal sakte.

So, your fans won't get a glimpse of Rakhi- the dancer? "Bhanwari was a nice dancer and a good singer, too. Hence, we can include a dance sequence in the movie," Rakhi promptly says.

Before signing off, Rakhi tells us why she refused the movie which was being made on the life of Maanyata Dutt. "I respect Sanjay Dutt and his wife and I refused the movie simply because I didn't wanted ki Sanjay mujhse naraz ho jaaye.

Also, I respect woman and I will never take a step which will mocks them." If rumour mills are to be believed, Bhanwari Devi role was, earlier, offered to Mahie Gill.

You feel lucky to have got the role? "I don't care which heroine does the role but jo bhi kare, acche se kare." (less)
