Mufti Qavi sends love-filled Eid message to Rakhi Sawant
Listen to article A controversial Pakistani cleric, Mufti Abdul Qavi, has once again made headlines by expressing his desire to marry Bollywood actress and dancer Rakhi Sawant. In a viral social media clip from a recent interview, Qavi sent a message to Sawant, saying, 'Whether you become Fatima or remain Rakhi, be Mufti Qavi's life partner.' He added that while he had previously sent her messages of love, this was the first time he was offering her an Eid gift. Rakhi Sawant, known for her bold statements, has previously expressed interest in marrying a Pakistani man. In response, Mufti Qavi not only proposed but also promised lavish gifts worth millions. This is not the first time the actress has received such an offer. Earlier, Pakistani model and actor Dodi Khan also proposed to her. Reacting to Qavi's proposal, Sawant had humorously suggested that he should lose weight first. In a recent interview, she appeared surprised by Qavi's proposal, saying, 'I don't even know how many wives he already has, but I alone am equal to 100,000 women.' She further challenged him, claiming he wouldn't be able to 'handle' her. Sawant also made it clear that financial stability was a key factor in her decision, stating, 'I don't like poor men. If someone is rich, they can try their luck with me.'

Rakhi Sawant expresses desire to marry Pakistani police officer
Listen to article Indian actress and dancer Rakhi Sawant has expressed her wish to marry a Pakistani police officer, following past marriage proposals from Pakistani actor Dodie Khan and cleric Mufti Qavi. In a recent phone conversation with host Mathira, Sawant discussed her past relationships and expressed disappointment with Khan, claiming he initially proposed but later retracted. 'I am a human, not a piece of chocolate,' she said, criticising his change of stance. Addressing Mufti Qavi's proposal, Sawant humorously remarked that she fainted upon hearing it. 'I like Qavi, but he should hit the gym like Dodie Khan and lose some weight,' she added. The actress revealed that her late father had wished for her to marry a police officer. 'Pakistani officers look very handsome. Is there one who is willing to hold my hand?' she asked. Previously, Rakhi Sawant had declined Mufti Abdul Qavi's marriage proposal, saying he would not be able to handle her. Rakhi, who has been in the news due to Mufti Qavi's conditional wish to marry her expressed during a podcast, responded humorously. She had previously asked Qavi to recite poetry for her. Speaking to a private channel, Rakhi said, 'I am not serious about marrying Mufti Qavi. I don't know if he has 100 wives or 900, but I alone am equal to 100,000 women, and he wouldn't be able to handle me.' The actress added that she is still searching for true love, which she has not found in India yet. 'Many men chase me, but they only want to use me as a stepping stone,' she said. On being asked about visiting Pakistan, Rakhi replied, 'If Modi can visit Pakistan, why can't I? When a couple agrees, what can the Qazi do?' Rakhi also praised Pakistani actress Hania Aamir, calling her a 'good and decent girl.' Earlier, Mufti Qavi claimed in a programme that his wedding with Rakhi Sawant was set for 14 February, adding that he had invited the show's host to attend the ceremony as a witness.

Rakhi Sawant responds to Mufti Qavi's marriage proposal
Listen to article Controversial Indian actress Rakhi Sawant has finally responded to the marriage proposal made by renowned Pakistani Islamic scholar Mufti Abdul Qavi in a recent podcast. Known for his provocative statements and actions, Mufti Qavi once again found himself in the headlines, this time for expressing his desire to marry the Bollywood actress during a podcast with Muneezay Moeen. Mufti Qavi had long been a controversial figure, having been involved in numerous scandals, including the infamous Qandeel Baloch case, the Hareem Shah slap incident, and his eventual stripping of the 'Mufti' title. His latest antics continued to make waves as he turned his attention to Sawant. During the podcast, Mufti Qavi referred to Sawant's recent Umrah pilgrimage and called her a 'respectable woman.' He raised questions about her marital history, asking whether she had married according to Hindu or Muslim traditions. He referenced well-known Islamic scholars such as Dr. Zakir Naik and the late Dr. Ahmed Deedat, who regarded the Hindu holy book as an 'inspired book.' Mufti Qavi suggested that this could make Sawant 'people of the book,' a term in Islam used for those who follow revealed scriptures. The conversation took an unexpected turn when Mufti Qavi directly addressed Rakhi's alleged interest in marrying a Pakistani scholar, stating, 'I am here and ready, but with one condition: I will ask my mother for permission first. If she permits me, then, because it is her command, you need to ask me before getting married.' Sawant reacted to Qavi's proposal by stating, "I'm dying to marry a Maulana; my sister Sana Khan has also married a Mufti." She went on to say that Dodi Khan, another man vying for her affection, is like a modern man but a devout worshipper. Rakhi added humorously that although she had never met Mufti Qavi, she was intrigued by his name and jokingly requested that he write a poem for her. However, Mufti Qavi is not the only Pakistani man courting Rakhi Sawant. Actor Dodi Khan, who previously proposed to the actress, has become the center of media attention after their engagement ended in an unexpected twist. Despite earlier rumors, Dodi Khan recently apologized to Rakhi, saying, 'I am sorry Rakhi ji! You are a very good friend of mine and will remain so. You may not be able to become my bride, but I promise you that you will become the daughter-in-law of Pakistan. I will get you married to one of my friends or brothers.' Sawant's connection with Pakistan, which began innocently through playful exchanges with actress Hania Aamir, has since spiraled into a series of dramatic and controversial twists. From public proposals to shocking breakups, her ties with the country remain a source of intrigue. Whether these proposals are genuine or simply part of Rakhi's larger-than-life persona, it is clear that her ongoing 'love affair' with Pakistan is far from over.
