Host Riteish Deshmukh confronted contestant Yogesh Rawat on Lock Upp Season 2 after Rawat asserted that the show's popularity declined post his elimination. Rawat, who had re-entered the competition following a challenge win, told fellow contestants that his absence directly impacted the show's TRP, necessitating his return.
Deshmukh challenged Rawat's self-importance, reminding him that his initial exit was decided by a task, not by individual decree. The host sternly pointed out that any claims about the show's viewership also reflected on him, co-host Farah Khan, Netflix, and the production team.
Following the heated exchange, Deshmukh made it clear that Rawat's comments were unacceptable and that his participation was no longer required. Emphasizing the importance of accountability for every word spoken, Deshmukh terminated Rawat's contract with the show, effective immediately.
Lock Upp Season 2, hosted by Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh, features contestants like Ram Kapoor and Shilpa Shinde. The reality show is currently streaming on Netflix and is nearing its conclusion in two weeks, with the winner set to receive Rs 1 crore.
