Rakhi Sawant and Gandhigiri

WTF headline of the day:

“I’m a true Gandhian: Rakhi Sawant.”

A choice excerpt:

On being asked how her item dance is on the line of Gandhian principles, she says, “Item dance is not a crime. It’s an art and I pursue it with a vanity. it’s takes a lot of hard work to perform. Gandhiji also believed in working hard.”

The article also has a picture of her in nothing but a loin cloth.

Ok, fine, it doesn’t, I made that last bit up. Er, are you still here?
