As if it was not enough to watch Rakhi Sawant, play the coy and blushing to-be-bride for Swayamvar Season 1, now audiences will have to put up with Rahul Mahajan as the not so dashing groom to 15 aspiring girls for the Second season of Swayamvar. Hope Rahul will marry the chosen one unlikely Rakhi end up doing engagement.

Rahul’s past shenanigans may help this show strike gold. However the very fact that a person with a past as notorious as Rahul Mahajan is being elevated to the status of a celebrity raises certain question marks about our social norms.

Rahul Mahajan first burst into public view and public space as the grieving son of BJP politician, the late Pramod Mahajan. Exactly a month after his father’s death, he had to be hospitalised after an alleged cocaine overdose. This was followed by a rushed marriage and divorce to Shweta Singh cited physical abuse and mental torture as reasons.

His first appearance on television was for the controversial reality T.V. show Big Boss-2 where he came across as an incorrigible flirt, manipulative and extremely shrewd. He flirted happily shamelessly with Payel Rohatgi and Monica Bedi. He also served as the judge on Colors’s Chhote Miyan, a children’s stand-up comedy reality show. His third stint for television will be Swayamvar Season -2.

This show is being planned around him because he is purported to be a ‘celebrity’. Without that tag of celebrity hood, he is just another ordinary person with a famous surname. Rahul Mahajan is one such so called media made celebrity whose only claim to fame has been being in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons. Shameless Rahul confessed that there is no harm in getting married on television as he is being paid for marriage.

Well all we hope for this time is that the viewers do not feel cheated as they did when Rakhi only got engaged and now they do get to witness the big fat wedding of a scammer. Oh God bachaooo!!!!!!!
