After being threatened for extending support for 'Padmavati,' Rakhi Sawant said she has filed an FIR against the Rajput Karni Sena members. Earlier, in response to Rakhi's video, wherein she supported Sanjay Leela Bhansali and the stars of the film, Karni Sena allegedly declared that they will blacken her face for lending her support to the film.
Rakhi said she has been getting threat calls and has alleged that the members have been making obscene remarks on her.Amidst all the hullabaloo over Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ‘Padmavati‘, here we have Rakhi Sawant coming to the rescue. The queen of controversies recently held a press conference in support of the film wherein we saw her posing with a sword. Don’t know how much it would help, but we appreciate her efforts"I am a citizen of this country and I have a right to speak my mind. Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh, Shahid Kapoor are my friends and I am just supporting them. All I am saying is that Bhansali has shown nothing wrong in the film and that everyone should see it before protesting against it. Meanwhile, a social group of Rajput targeted actress Deepika Padukone, announcing a reward of Rs1 crore for anyone “burning her alive”, a matter, which the police said, it was looking into.
Uttar Pradesh deputy chief minister Keshav Prasad Maurya said that the film would not be allowed to be released in the state unless its “controversial portions” were removed. Maurya said the legendary queen had sacrificed her life instead of surrendering before the Mughals and made a place for herself in the history.
