Just as the inmates were settling into their new routine, “Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa” is about to give them a massive reality check.
In a surprise twist, Kangana Ranaut, who hosted the first season of the reality show, is re-entering the “Lock Upp” this weekend.
While she is not back to host, the “Queen” star will serve as the “Janta Ki Awaaz”, delivering the audience's unfiltered verdict right before the high-stakes first elimination of the season.
Sharing her thoughts on returning to the show, Kangana said in a statement: "This show has always been about owning your truth, no matter how uncomfortable it is. Joining Farah and Riteish as the jury or the Janta Ki Awaaz this weekend for Lock Upp: Sach ya Sazaa's very first termination, all I can say is every choice has a price!"

The second season of “Lock Upp” began streaming on Netflix on June 27 and has already completed its first task. Hosts Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh have also assigned tags to all 15 contestants, who are referred to as inmates.
