Rakhi Sawant found herself surrounded by a large crowd during her visit to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, while distributing prayer mats among pilgrims. The actor, who has also been using the name Rakhi Fatima, was visiting the holy site to offer prayers for people affected by the devastating floods in Nepal. What began as an effort to distribute Janamaz soon became difficult to manage as several pilgrims gathered around her.
In a video shared on Instagram, Rakhi can be seen handing out prayer mats as more people approach to collect them. She could be heard chanting “Allah Hu Akbar” while attempting to continue distributing the mats. As the crowd grew, the situation became increasingly chaotic, with some people reportedly pulling at her hijab. Rakhi was heard asking people not to fight as she tried to move through the gathering.
During her visit, Rakhi also offered prayers for those affected by the floods in Nepal. She prayed for the safety of children, elderly people and animals in the flood-hit areas, while also expressing concern for Indians and Nepalis who remained stranded. Her visit included time near the Holy Kaaba, where she continued her prayers for those affected by the disaster.

Rakhi’s prayers came as Nepal continued to deal with the aftermath of devastating floods that have caused widespread destruction and left many people missing. In her prayer, she expressed hope that the flooding and storms would subside and that those stranded in affected areas would remain safe. Her visit and charitable gesture have drawn attention online following the circulation of footage from Mecca.
The incident occurred as Rakhi attempted to distribute prayer mats among pilgrims gathered at the holy site. The footage shows the crowd moving closely around her as she continued with the distribution. The circumstances also illustrate the difficulty of managing a large gathering around a public figure at a busy religious site.
On the professional front, Rakhi is set to return to Samay Raina’s India’s Got Latent Season 2, according to the information provided. She is expected to appear as a panellist in an upcoming episode, marking another television appearance for the actor.
