Rakhi Sawant, known for her tumultuous love life, has recently announced a new chapter with Pakistani actor Dodi Khan, confirming plans for a cross-border love marriage. The 46-year-old actress shared the news on Instagram and later opened up in an interview with News18 Showsha, revealing that she and Dodi are deeply in love and intend to marry soon.
Rakhi, who has experienced her fair share of high-profile and controversial relationships, expressed optimism that this time would be different. She revealed that despite the hurdles, she and Dodi are eager to make their relationship official. “He is my love. We love each other. He is from Pakistan, I am from India, so we will have a love marriage,” Rakhi stated.
While Rakhi’s past relationships have been marked by drama, she has moved on from her previous marriage to Adil Khan Durrani, which ended in a bitter divorce in 2023. Rakhi had accused Adil of infidelity, domestic violence, and financial mishandling, which led to his five-month arrest. Rakhi didn’t hesitate to address Adil, calling him “jealous” of her new relationship and criticizing him for trying to tarnish her reputation.
Dodi Khan, a multi-faceted individual from a prominent business family, is well-known in the acting and filmmaking circles. He also prides himself on his fitness, calling himself a “fitness freak.” Dodi’s birthday falls on August 5, and he is mentored by Pakistani actor Nabeel Zafar. His admiration for Bollywood stars Sanjay Dutt and Salman Khan has been well-documented in interviews.
The couple’s wedding plans have already captured the public’s attention. Rakhi and Dodi are reportedly planning a traditional Pakistani wedding, which will follow Islamic rituals, with a reception in India. In a playful Instagram video posted on January 27, Dodi jokingly asked Rakhi whether he should bring his wedding procession to India or Dubai. The video went viral, garnering over 6.5 lakh views.
The couple’s honeymoon is expected to take place in either Switzerland or the Netherlands, with plans to eventually settle in Dubai. As Rakhi continues to be unapologetically herself, her new relationship with Dodi offers a glimmer of hope for a fresh start in love, despite the rollercoaster of her past.
Fans and media are closely following Rakhi’s romantic journey, eager to see if this cross-border love story will lead to a happy ever after.
