Rakhi Sawant

Bollywood "item girl" Rakhi Sawant wound up her Rakhi Ka Sawant reality TV show in India by choosing Elesh Paranjuwala of Canada to be her "life partner." Sunday night.

Sawant did not immediately marry Paranjuwala as was the custom when a swayamvar concluded in ancient India.

"Today is our engagement," Rakhi told the large TV audience watching. "I am ready to get married now, but we need to understand each other better off camera. We will soon get married in front of all of you in keeping with all our traditions."

Rakhi confirmed what everyone watching already suspected, Elesh was her favorite from the beginning of the show, which ran for 26 episodes. The contest began with 16 bachelors vying for Rakhi's hand in marriage and ended with Rakhi placing a garland over the head of Elesh to signify her choice.

The other two finalists were Manas Katyal and Chhitiz Jain, both from New Delhi.

I'm bound for Colombia and I urge everyone to watch this space for reports from there all week.
