OG “Lock Upp” host Kangana Ranaut returned to the reality show's second season with her trademark no-holds-barred style, and one contestant found himself at the centre of a fiery confrontation.
In the latest episode of “Lock Upp 2”, the actress strongly slammed contestant Yogesh Rawat over allegations surrounding his past relationships, warning him against hurting fellow contestant Akanksha Choudhary and asking him to be ashamed of the accusations.
Kangana, who hosted the first season of “Lock Upp”, made a special appearance on the show and revealed that she had been closely following the second season since its premiere. As she reviewed the contestants' performances, she offered candid feedback to several inmates, including Dheeraj Dhoopar and Ram Kapoor, before turning her attention to Yogesh.
Referring to the allegations that have earned him the tag of a "cheater," Kangana said she has immense "nafrat" and "grihna" (hatred) for men who deceive women. She also warned Yogesh against breaking Akanksha Choudhary's heart.
"People call you a cheater," Kangana told Yogesh. When he acknowledged the remark, she responded sharply, "You are saying yes? You should be ashamed of yourself. I absolutely despise guys who break girls' hearts and play them for fools. If you break Akanksha’s heart, I am coming to break you.”

Yogesh defended himself by saying the label had been given to him by others and did not define who he really was.
However, the emotional impact of Kangana's remarks became evident after she left the set. Visibly upset, Yogesh removed his microphone and broke down in tears, questioning the accusations levelled against him.
For those unversed, the controversy dates back to the grand finale of “Splitsvilla X6”, where contestant Ruru had alleged that Yogesh met Akanksha Choudhary while he was still in a relationship with her. While Yogesh denied cheating, he admitted that he had developed feelings for Akanksha.
The episode of “Lock Upp 2” also featured the season's first elimination. Shrestha Iyer became the first contestant to be evicted while Akanksha Chamola and Madhuri Jain Grover were declared safe and continued their journey on the reality show.
“Lock Upp Season 2” premiered on June 27 and streams on Netflix from Saturday to Wednesday.
