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 show "shame" over 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 Rawat.

She also warned Yogesh against breaking Akanksha Choudhary's heart.
"Cheater bolte hain log tumhe (People call you a cheater)," Kangana told Yogesh. When he acknowledged the remark, she responded sharply, "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 told Yogesh.

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.
The 'Splitsvilla' Controversy
For those unversed, the controversy traces 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.
