Rakhi Sawant will not invite her mother for the wedding

Sounding excited after her engagement to NRI businessman Elesh Parunjwala, item girl Rakhi Sawant says she wants all her friends, including ex-boyfriend Abhishek Awasthi, to attend her wedding but will not invite her mother.

After the excitement of her engagement with NRI businessman Elesh Parunjwala, Rakhi Sawant is all set to look forward to the wedding. As for those who will attend the wedding, she still has a grudge against her mom, and not anyone else.

What about ex-boyfriend Abhishek? "I completely forgive Abhishek Awasthi. I was very surprised to know that he showed up on Sunday for my scheduled wedding. Surprised and touched. If I knew, I'd have welcomed him. Once he was my boyfriend, but now he's my friend," said Rakhi.

But she hasn't forgiven her mother. "Please, all that nautanki on television for five minutes can't take away the pain I've gone through. As far as I'm concerned that chapter of my life is closed," she said.

Other eliminated contestants from the Rakhi Ka Swayamvar showed up to wish the couple on Sunday. But although a wedding was expected, Rakhi and Elesh only got engaged.

"I was all set to marry Elesh on Sunday. But it was Elesh who said he wanted more time to get to know me. I'm very confident of him. But if he needs more time to get to know me, how can I force myself on him? I'm ready to wait as long as he wants," said Rakhi.

Though she is willing to wait for Elesh to make up his mind about the wedding, she is sure she will not relocate to Canada. "I'm completely sure Elesh is the man for me. But I do have a career in Mumbai. So he'll have to plan our future accordingly."
