Actor-politician Kangana Ranaut entered the "Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa Season 2" house as "Janta Ki Awaaz" during the sixth episode, joining hosts Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh to evaluate the contestants' first-week performance. The episode aired on Netflix and featured Ranaut's direct confrontation with contestant Yogesh Rawat over his alleged behavior.
Ranaut's Praise and Critique
Ranaut began by praising Sunita Ahuja, calling her the most trustworthy contestant and describing her as the house's collective "mother figure." She also told Riyaz that he had barely made an impression on screen during the opening week. However, the episode's sharpest exchange came when she turned to contestant Yogesh Rawat.
"Cheater bolte hain log tumhe," she told him, pointing out that people call him a cheater. When Yogesh responded with a nod, Ranaut rebuked him, saying, "Haan ji kar rahe ho? Sharminda toh ho jaao thoda." She continued, "Mujhe iss tarah ke ladko se itni nafraat hain, itni grihna hain... jo ladkiyo ka dil todte hain aur unko murkh banate hain. Aur agar tumne Akanksha ka dil toda, toh main tumhe todne aaungi." This translated to her expressing hatred for men who break women's hearts and warning him she would come after him if he hurt Akanksha Chaudhary again.
Background of the Controversy
The reference traces back to an earlier reality show, Splitsvilla X6, where contestant Ruru accused Yogesh of pursuing Akanksha while still being in a relationship with her. Yogesh maintained that the tag was unfair and that people had branded him without knowing him. During the Lock Upp episode, Yogesh was later shown breaking down in the washroom, where Akanksha consoled him and urged him to ignore the criticism.
Elimination and Safe Contestants
The episode also confirmed Shrestha Iyer as the first contestant to be eliminated from the season, while Akanksha Chamola and Madhuri Jain Grover were declared safe. New episodes of "Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa" stream on Netflix.
