Kangana has been at odds with Karan since she referred to him as “the flagbearer of nepotism” during her appearance on his talk programme, Koffee With Karan.
Earlier this month, she brought Hrithik Roshan into it as well, saying that the show’s performance is a source of concern for him. “Log paanch ungliyan mila ke haath jodd rahe hain. Waise gala toh che ungliyon walo ka bhi sookh raha hai (People are placing their five fingers together to beg pardon from me. Even those with six fingers are suffering from dry throats right now),” she said on Instagram Stories.

Lock Upp just become the most-watched reality programme on OTT, with 100 million views in 19 days. Kangana had described it as a wonderful statistic, saying, “I’m overwhelmed with the love and affection that Lock Upp is receiving from the viewers. This proves that the concept of the show is unique and highly entertaining. The views on the show are proof that Ekta Kapoor’s vision has once again hit the bullseye and that along with the huge reach that MX Player has revealed that together, they know the audience’s pulse better than anyone else on OTT. Lock Upp is only going to get bigger and more fearless from this point on!”
Lock Upp, produced by Ekta Kapoor, has been available on MXPlayer and ALTBalaji since its premiere on February 27, 2022.
