Kangana Ranaut hosted a masaledaar grand premiere for Lock Upp, currently streaming on AltBalaji and MX Player.
Kangana Ranaut made Lock Upp’s grand premiere a little more interesting by taking a dig at various celebrities including Karan Johar and Deepika Padukone. While she did not take any names per say, the actress definitely hinted at all her controversies. From nepotism to Gangubai Kathiawadi and Gehraiyaan, Lock Upp was full of masala. Here’s all that happened…
Kangana Ranaut had called Karan Johar the ‘flagbearer of nepotism’ on Koffee with Karan. This had led to a massive debate which continues to date. At the grand premiere of Lock Upp, Kangana brought back the topic of nepotism as she stated that there will be no ‘nepotism’ in her jail.
Payal Rohatgi entered Lock Upp as a contestant. She irked Kangana by calling out her differences with Alia and then, the actress praising Gangubai Kathiawadi. In clear terms, the host asked Payal to create her own controversy since that one is hers.
Kangana had called out the movie mafia a few years back. Ekta Kapoor’s name was among the many, which Payal recalled and said that the two have now resolved their differences and collaborated for Lock Upp. That is when Kangana asked Payal to not piggybank on her experiences.
When Payal told Kangana she is piggybanking on Alia, the actress retorted saying Payal needs to have her own controversy. Kangana then said she has given birth to a controversy which never existed before by praising Gangubai Kathiawadi.
Kangana Ranaut gave a memorable reaction to when Payal asked AltBalaji to make Gehraiyaan. Kangana, who has bashed the film on Instagram, went on to roll her eyes and straighten her hair when Payal said, “If AltBalaji has made Gandi Baat and it wants to make Gehraiyaan, it has the right to make Gehraiyaan.”
