Mumbai: Actress-dancer Rakhi Sawant trended on Twitter after AAP leader Raghav Chadha mentioned her name while taking a dig at Congress' Navjot Singh Sidhu. Chaddha called Sidhu the ‘Rakhi Sawant of Punjab politics’ after the latter criticized Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal over the farm reforms. Several citizens expressed their displeasure over the ‘sexist’ jibe and asked Raghav Chaddha to issue an apology to Rakhi. 


Sawant, who seemed unaware about Chaddha’s remark, posted a screenshot of Kavita Kaushik’s tweet on her Instagram handle. The ‘Bigg Boss 14’ contestant wrote, “Wow guys congratulations to me. I am trending on Twitter. Wow, thank you God.” 


Sambhavna Seth dropped a comment on the post. She wrote, "Absolutely true @ikavitakaushik She is very hardworking..God bless u."


Rakhi also thanked Kavita Kaushik for taking a stand for her on social media. Check out her post!

Kavita, who was also part of ‘Bigg Boss 14’, praised Rakhi for lifting the entertainment quotient in ‘Bigg Boss’. “Rakhi Sawant- the most hard working who gives her hundred percent loyalty and effort to each project she takes, turning a dull flop show into an entertaining one, she is a compliment compared to the hateful fake counter parts!,” the ‘FIR’ actress wrote on the micro-blogging site.
