Recently, Farah Khan went to her place in Dubai to shoot her cooking vlogs. Amidst several hilarious revelations, the director-producer revealed that Rakhi Sawant sold her house to launch herself in her first music video. 

Farah Khan was cooking with Rakhi Sawant when she recalled how the actress was dedicated to her career. She said, “Rakhi tujhe yaad hain Mein Hoon Na release hone ke pehle tune mujhe bola tha ma’am mein ek music video bana rahi hu aur mein apna ghar bechkar wo music video ko finance karne wali hu.”

Then she shared that she advised her against it. “Aur meine bola tha, tu pagal hain kya, tu apne paise kyun laga rahi hain? But look at the conviction of this girl, usne apna ghar bechkar… Pardesiya… Khud ka video, khud ko launch kiya and that music video went super duper... (And I said, 'Are you crazy? Why are you spending your own money?' But look at the conviction of this girl, she sold her house... 'Pardesiya'... made her own video, launched herself, and that music video became a super hit.)”
