In Short

• Kangana Ranaut called out in Ram Kapoor's attitude on Lock Upp Season 2
• Kangana presides over first elimination after Episode 5
• Ram promised to reveal his truth when the time is right

The upcoming Judgement Day episode of Lock Upp Season 2 is set to bring high-voltage drama as former host Kangana Ranaut takes contestant Ram Kapoor to task over his performance. In the latest promo, Kangana questions whether Ram is taking the competition seriously and challenges his attitude inside the house.

The promo, released after Episode 5, shows Kangana making her first appearance of the season to review the contestants' journey so far and preside over the first elimination. During her interaction with the inmates, she turns her attention to Ram, suggesting that he has failed to make the most of his time on the show.

In the promo, Kangana tells Ram, "Ram, game ko seriously nahi lena tha, aur agar lagta hai ki you are too big for this jail toh aap aaye ho kyun? Apni ye fuhadpan dikhane ke liye?" (Ram, if you did not want to take the game seriously, and if you think you are too big for this jail, then why did you come here? Just to behave this way?)

Ram responds, "Jab waqt aayega (When the right time comes), I will own my truth as well and as better than anybody here." Before he can elaborate further, Kangana interrupts him, saying, "Don't defend yourself if you want to improve."

This is not the first time Ram's strategy has come under scrutiny. Earlier in the season, host Farah Khan criticised the actor for staying away from confrontations and playing the game too cautiously.

The forthcoming episode will see Kangana assess the contestants' performances from their first week inside the jail before announcing the season's first eviction. The episode is scheduled to stream on July 4.

Meanwhile, Ssunita Ahuja, Harshad Chopda and Akanksha Chamola have secured themselves from elimination. However, Shreya Kalra, Sufi Motiwala, Shrestha Iyer, Akanksha Chamola and Madhuri Grover continue to remain at risk.

Hosted by Farah Khan and Riteish Deshmukh, Lock Upp: Sach Ya Sazaa features 15 contestants from the worlds of television, social media and entertainment. The reality series streams on Netflix every Saturday to Wednesday at 8 pm.
