MUMBAI: Reacting to an article in a local Mumbai tabloid, which said that Rakhi Sawant has gone under the knife, Rakhi’s well-connected PR machinery sprung into action.

“Rakhi has not undergone any facial surgery or any kind of artificial treatment recently. She hasn’t been under the knife as incorrectly reported. It was just a different kind of look that the Item Queen and enigmatic actress was trying out,” said a release from her public relation manager.

Elaborating on the issue, Sawant’s PRO said, “Rakhi was wearing a natural French-style make up. She had taken some lessons from a phirangi make-up artiste-stylist and wanted to try out the effect on herself. In fact, we told her she looks totally different and the media may not be able to comprehend the difference but she wanted to do something different.”
