Mumbai, Apr 18 (IANS): Rakhi Sawant says she went unnoticed when she entered showbiz but adding spice to her professional life brought her into the limelight.

"When I came in the industry, I had no godfather. I moved ahead in life, I stumbled many times but no one saw it... When I saw no one is looking at me, I learned that people want spice and then I became Rakhi Sawant," the 33-year-old said here.

Rakhi, who is popular for her controversial banter and spicy item numbers, has a word of advice for those who want to make it big in any field.

"One should not leave the main goal in life. Once you get success, you should not go crazy with happiness. You must think that there is one step ahead of success also and that is how you should keep working," Rakhi said.

Rakhi was lately in the news for slamming southern star Dhanush for cancelling a performance at the last minute where the two were supposed to shake a leg on "Kolaveri di". But she has forgiven him now.
