Mika Singh, Rakhi Sawant's cat fight continues

Mika Singh, who was to do an item song along with Rakhi Sawant for a film reportedly backed out at the last minute.

The official reason given was that Mika Singh already had a solo item song in the film and dancing with Rakhi would only take away the credit for that song.

Getting sarcastic, Mika Singh said, “Main Rakhi ke saath perform karu, aisi uski kismat kahan (she is not so fortunate that I will dance with her)”.

Rakhi's reacted and said, “I just got to know that my enemy is not doing the item song with me. It’s totally his loss. I guess, he is just too old to perform on an item number with me.”
