Mumbai: Actor Kangana Ranaut is set to make a special appearance on the second season of Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa this weekend. After hosting the inaugural season of the reality show, Kangana will return in a new role as the ‘Janta Ki Awaaz’, joining Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh during the show’s first termination round.
Kangana returns in a new role
Kangana Ranaut, who hosted the first season of Lock Upp, will be seen making a special appearance in the revamped second season.
This time, instead of hosting the show, she will serve as the ‘Janta Ki Awaaz’ and participate in the first elimination or termination round alongside Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh.
Her return is expected to add excitement to the reality show’s latest season.
‘Every choice has a price’
Expressing her excitement about reuniting with the franchise, Kangana reflected on what the show represents.
“This show has always been about owning your truth, no matter how uncomfortable it is,” she said.
Speaking about her new role, the actor added, “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!”
Why Kangana did not return as host
Earlier, during the launch of the second season, producer Ektaa Kapoor explained why Kangana was not brought back as the host.
According to Ektaa, the show has undergone a complete transformation, with changes to its format, presentation and overall concept.
“The entire format of the show, the whole vision changed and the demographic, the kind of jailer-judge format we had. Nothing of the original show has been kept. Neither the jailer nor the host, so keeping anything of the old would not bring the fresh presentation of the branding. So I am sure Kangana would have understood,” she said.
Show continues to generate buzz
Since its premiere, Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa has remained in the spotlight due to its revamped format and personal revelations made by contestants.
One of the biggest moments so far came when television personality Akanksha Chamola revealed on the show that she and actor Gaurav Khanna are heading for divorce after living separately for the past year.
The revelation sparked widespread discussion among viewers and on social media.

Conclusion
