Salman Khan neither forgets nor forgives something Vivek Oberoi has found out and that Rakhi Sawant discovered while performing at the Sunsilk Apsara: The Producers’ Guild Award 2008.

Rakhi had walked out of the Nach Baliye 3 finale last year, where Salman was the chief guest. When Rakhi lost the title she stormed off the stage with beau Abhishek in tow. When Salman followed her in a bid to pacify her, she ignored him and drove off in her car.

So when Salman had his chance to get back at Rakhi at the Apsara awards last Sunday he couldn’t turn it down! He had performed at the event. Later, he told the organisers (Wizcraft) that he wasn’t happy and wanted to re-record his bit. By the time he finished that, it was time for Rakhi to perform to her song Tuk tuk dekhe from Krazzy 4 But it was close to 10 pm (the deadline for live shows in a public places.

The cops came in and stopped the event but as Rakhi’s number was yet to be performed, it was decided to just record it for the televised event. Rakhi got a nasty shock when she found she had to perform without music.”

Rakhi admits that she had to perform almost without any music. “I was very upset and walked off after my performance without giving any TV bytes. It was very difficult to perform as we were only given a tape recorder and the music got muffled with the steps of so many dancers. At one point, I thought I should pack up and leave but it was a very big opportunity for me. How can I perform without music? But then, I am Rakhi Sawant! I sang the lyrics myself, having rehearsed for the song during the shooting and somehow managed. Gaana mera dil aur dimaag mein basaa hua hai.”

The forthright Rakhi says diplomatically, “I don’t want to comment anything though I heard he wanted to re-record his song again. You will have to ask him why he did that and even if Salman did snub me that’s his choice. Salman is my senior and I love him!”
