Swayamvar, in today’s context, is nothing but mere entertainment and a publicity gimmick by the celebrities. According to mythology, the literal meaning of swayamvar is when a woman chooses a husband- according to her will- from a group of suitors. This method of marriage was practised in ancient India by Kings and Queens. However, the meaning of swayamvar changed for the Indian audience in 2009, when the controversial queen, Rakhi Sawant opted to choose her groom on national television following this method.
After which, many more seasons were hosted for Rahul Mahajan, Ratan Rajput, Mallika Sherawat and Shehnaz Gill. But unfortunately, none of them got their ideal partner through swayamvar and those who did, separated within a short period. Now, the swayamvar’s new season is back for the superstar singer, Mika Singh. He is 45 and a bachelor. After spending quality time with 14 rajkumaris (female contestants), Mika is all set to tie the knot with one of the four finalists. But, did the singer already find love in his rumoured ex-girlfriend, Akanksha Puri? Find out!
