Rakhi Sawant has chosen Toronto-based Elesh Parujanwala as her life partner via NDTV Imagine's "Rakhi ka Swayamvar".
The final choice was made by Rakhi from among the three finalists - from a total of 16 contestants in 26 episodes. The other two finalists were young aspirant Manas Katyal and businessman Chhitiz Jain, both from New Delhi.
"I have been watching Elesh from day one. On and off the camera, he has been the same and has really taken care of me. He is everything I was looking for and I am glad to have found him on the Swayamvar. The swayamvar means finding a jeevan saathi (life partner) and I have found Elesh.
"Today is our engagement. I am ready to get married now, but we need to understand each other better off camera. We will soon get married in front of all of you in keeping with all our traditions," Rakhi said after she announced her choice.
Decked up in red and gold lehenga-choli by Neeta Lulla and kundan jewellery, Rakhi was looking like a perfect bride.
Elesh, Manas and Chhitiz too in traditional sherwanis and turbans, that went perfectly with the situation.
In the dramatic finale, she garlanded Elesh, amidst the cheering of the audience.
The colourful event, that was held at the Hotel Leela Kempinsky in Mumbai on Sunday saw a host of celebrities like choreographer Saroj Khan, actors Ravi Kishen and Ram Kapoor, who posed as brothers to the bride, apart from others like Smita Bansal and Sudha Shivpuri in the audience.
