Riteish Deshmukh confronts contestant over TRP claims on Lock Upp 2

Actor Riteish Deshmukh, serving as a jailor on Netflix’s reality series Lock Upp 2, publicly challenged contestant Yogesh Rawat after Rawat claimed his eviction lowered the show’s TRPs and that his return was forced by fan demand. Deshmukh stressed that eliminations are decided by tasks, not by the hosts, mentors, or Netflix, questioning Rawat’s evidence and reminding him that the task‑based removal was carried out by fellow contestant Dheeraj Dhoopar.

In a separate moment, Deshmukh quoted Ravi Kishan’s viral catchphrase “desh ki duty” while bidding farewell to participant Apoorva Mukhija, adding a humorous note to the episode. The show, hosted by Farah Khan alongside Deshmukh, continues to feature a rotating cast of Indian celebrities on the Netflix platform.
