She also said her uncle used to hit her because she wanted to dance, "Not just that, she also shared that whenever she used to practise dance, her maternal uncle would beat her badly.

"I have been beaten so much in my life that my body is full of stitches. I bore all these just to go ahead in life," Rakhi added. 

"I was still a kid at that time. Whenever the producers used to tell me to 'show' what I got, I used to start dancing in front of them. But I did not know they wanted to see something else. They used to say we have seen enough of dance, show us what we want to see. I have been exploited, I am not denying that. I cannot tell anything more in detail, "revealed Rakhi.
