Some become item girls, some take small roles, negative roles or some special role or mother’s role),” she said.
Rakhi went on to say that she is thankful to Bollywood for giving a special space to her. “Jab mujh mein woh heroine ka nahi tha talent aur main ek item girl ban gayi, jisse mera parivaar chala, toh mujhe iss cheez se koi regret nahi. Mujhe proud hai ki Bollywood ne mujhe ek jagah di (I did not have the talent to be an actor, so I became an item girl. This helped me feed my family, run my household. I have no regrets about it),” she said.
