Sawant knows her audience, the reporters, the cameramen asking her to pose ‘thoda aise side se’. She knows what they want. She invented the gallery she plays to, and still manages an innocence, a lack of self-consciousness in her raunchy replies.

The questions were bizarre, unprofessional. Which man does she want? Ramdev. A flurry of priceless quotes: “Apke liye Baba honge, mere woh swami hain”. She’s a fan of his kapalbharti technique — “Woh jo andar bahar andar bahar kartein hain — I love it!” More hooting.

When will she visit Bihar, asks a Patna correspondent. When Nitish invites me, she says. All answers are pat-pat. “Laloo had invited me. I met his whole family, his wife, his kids.”

The producers of a show that Sawant has been roped in for were in a tizzy with her when she made a bizarre demand.

Sawant has been preparing to host Gajab Desh Ki Ajab Kahaniyan and has lost a lot of weight to look slim and svelte.

While she has told the production house about her demands when it comes to clothes and accessories, the crew became apparently miffed with the starlet as her bills shot up beyond the estimated budget.
