Actor-politician Kangana Ranaut walked into the Lock Upp Season 2 house as “Janta Ki Awaaz” in the show’s sixth episode, joining hosts Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh to grade contestants on their first week of gameplay.
She began by handing out praise, naming Jattvibeita Ahuja the most trustworthy inmate and dubbing her the house’s collective mother figure. Riyaz did not fare as well, with Ranaut telling him bluntly that he had barely registered as a presence on screen.
The sharpest exchange came when she turned to Yogesh Rawat. “Cheater bolte hain log tumhe,” she told him, pointing out that people call him a cheater. Yogesh simply nodded in response, and Ranaut immediately pounced on the gesture.
“Haan ji kar rahe ho? Sharminda toh ho jaao thoda. 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,” she said, calling out his nod and telling him to feel some shame, adding that she despises men who break women’s hearts and would come after him if he hurt Akanksha Chaudhary again.
The reference traces back to Splitsvilla X6, where contestant Ruru had accused Yogesh of pursuing Akanksha while still in a relationship with her. Yogesh maintained that the tag was unfair and that people had branded him without knowing him. He later broke down in the washroom, away from the cameras, with Akanksha consoling him and urging him to ignore the criticism.
The episode also confirmed Shrestha Iyer as the season’s first eliminated contestant, while Akanksha Chamola and Madhuri Jain Grover were both saved. New episodes of Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa stream on Netflix.
